How is a VPS different to web hosting?
You aren’t restricted to using the server space just for websites, as is the case with our shared web hosting. A common use is for multiplayer gaming: to either host an ‘instance’ of a game world or for team communication within a game. Other examples might be telephone systems, servers for mobile apps and software development.
However, most people use VPSs for web hosting. It’s an inexpensive way to run multiple sites, where the VPS owner has more control over the available resources.
VPS resources and specs
All our VPS have unlimited bandwidth. You choose the VPS’s specs based on processor cores, RAM and RAID 10 storage.
We have 5 options to choose from, from a great value 1-core, 1 GB RAM, 25 GB storage VPS, to an 8-core, 16 GB RAM, 200 GB storage monster! You have full root access and can upgrade or downgrade at any time.
They have 1 Tbps+ DDoS protection and a network Service Level Agreement of 99.99% – for peace of mind when it comes to uptime.
VPS operating systems and software
Once you’ve chosen your VPS specs, you can then choose what runs on it. It’s entirely up to you what you want to install, but we have over 20 different types of software and OS that can come pre-installed on purchase.
We have 9 different operating systems, ranging from free Linux OS versions to licenced OS like Windows.
We also have 14 different software packages that can come pre-installed, such as a LAMP stack, WordPress, cPanel, Joomla! and Magento.
If the software you choose requires a licence payment, this will be reflected in the final price you pay for your VPS.
