There are essentially two hosting solutions available on the Internet
today: "virtual hosting" and Virtual
Servers. Though the terms seem similar, the underlying functionality
of the two solutions is very different. Understanding the differences
between "virtual hosting" and Virtual Servers can have
a significant impact on your hosting decision. Web
Hosting solutions consist of two components:
- the
hardware (CPU, memory, disk drives, etc.)
- the
software (web, ftp, and pop servers, email gateway, and any
third party applications or CGI scripts)
In
a "virtual hosting" environment, both the hardware and
software are configured and controlled by the server administrators.
Therefore, you are left with little to no control over how your
server functions. This kind of inflexible solution simply shares
the single set of software applications on the physical server.
You in effect have only "subletted" software resources
controlled and maintained by someone else!
In
a true Virtual Server environment only the hardware is controlled
and maintained by our administrators. The software (i.e. the Web,
FTP, POP/IMAP services) is completely autonomous and affords the
customer complete flexibility, control, and power over how his
or her Internet services behave.
How
is this accomplished? The Virtual Server host server is multiplexed
or partitioned into many Virtual Servers (we partition the Operating
System, not just the web server). Each Virtual Server can be customized
at your discretion. This solution is far superior to the simple
"virtual hosting" solution so many web hosting companies
offer and label as "Virtual Servers" . By choosing
us, you choose control, you choose flexibility, you choose power.
Is
your web site currently being virtually hosted?
Chances are, yes. Almost all Internet Presence Providers provide
only simple Virtual Hosting solutions for their clients. As you
review the chart below, compare the capabilities of your current
web site to those of a Virtual Server. If you find that your current
hosting solution has less "YES's" than "NO's",
you are using a solution inferior to what you would enjoy as one
of our customers.

In
addition to the performance and flexibility of our Virtual Servers,
our Virtual Servers also offer "virtual
hosting" capabilities. In other words, "virtual
hosting" is a feature of our Virtual Servers. Our Virtual
Servers allow you to create virtual web hosts (each with their
own domain name), virtual email, virtual ftp logins, and quota
support. Most of our competitors simply offer virtual hosting,
which is simply a single feature of our Virtual Servers.
As a Matter of Fact, you might even find that many of the companies
that offer Virtual Hosting are doing so on Server Setups Similar
to ours.
A
real Virtual Server is not simply a virtually hosted (VirtualHost)
site on a web server we control, rather we give you "virtual
root" access. When you telnet to your Virtual Server you
will see directories such as "dev", "usr",
"bin", "etc". In your "etc" directory
you will find your own "passwd", "aliases",
and "sendmail.cf" files... this allows you unlimited
flexibility to add as many POP accounts, aliases, autoresponders
as you would like.
With
our Virtual Servers you will also find an entire "usr/local/etc/httpd"
directory structure including your own httpd.conf, srm.conf, and
access.conf files, your own logs, and cgi-bin. Basically our Virtual
Server acts and behaves like a dedicated server, you have complete
control of your web, ftp, and email services. The basic differences
between a dedicated server and an our Virtual Server is the disk
space and the price.
Price
Comparison
For the quality of service you receive, our Virtual
Private Server prices are unbelievably low. In fact, if
you factor in the additional surcharges many other hosting companies
add for additional bandwidth and POP accounts, we are the price
leader. Remember, THERE ARE NO BANDWIDTH charges with VPS Hosting,
nor any other Hidden Charges. ALL CHARGES are listed on
our Pricing page, so you have no surprises.
If
you could have the power of a Virtual Server at a virtual hosting
price, why would you pay more for less???
