VPS Virtual Private Server Hosting - What exactly can
you do?
The answer is simple, everything you could do with a
dedicated server. Each VPS server within the main physical
server can have its own dedicated resources, IP addresses,
etc. You can decided exactly which software you want to
run within your VPS and you can have your own custom
configurations and wont be affected by what anyone else is
doing on the same server. Do I get full
root or admin access with VPS Hosting?
Yes you full root or Administrator access with our VPS Hosting packages, you can install any software or application that
is compatible with Linux. You have read/write
access to all server files. While no one else can see or
access your files.
You will be able to access your Linux VPS via SSH and
Windows VPS via Remot Desktop
VPS Hosting Benefits
For a start, VPS hosting is very secure because all VPS
hosting accounts are in their own enclosed private space, separate
from any other other customers on the same server. VPS
hosting allows maximum configurability and costs less than
a dedicated server, this is great if your website has
special software requirements that a shared hosting
company could not provide adequately.

Linux provides a very powerful and secure base for
VPS Hosting, and is popular for that reason.

VPS Hosting - Other Uses
Just a few of our own ideas of what VPS hosting could be
an excellent choice for, some of these are from
experience, ie, we've actually seen VPS hosting being used
in exactly these ways:
» Secondary mail server
» IRCD / IRC Hosting
» Secondary DNS Server
» Secondary mail server
» Load balanced HTTP server
» Backup MySQL slave server or part of a MySQL Cluster
» A test Unix/Windows server (a great practice area for newbie sys admins)
» Windows VPS is even ideal for users looking to run
windows programs 24/7 without running their home PC 24/7
» Windows VPS can be even used to run windows based IRCD
or MIRC scripts and/or MIRC client 24/7
As you can see, VPS hosting can be used for more than just
hosting a website, that's the point of VPS hosting. It is
infinitely more flexible than a shared hosting account.
