What is a Virtual Server

What is a Virtual Server (VServer)

A virtual server provides many the benefits of having your own server at a significantly lower cost. We take one powerful server and segment it into multiple virtual servers. The Host (or physical) server utilises a RAID-5 array populated with 4 or more high performance Hard Drives.

Each Vserver is completely self-contained in its own dedicated portion of the RAID array. No applications, data or libraries are shared between the Vservers, so each customer can run entirely different versions of the Linux operating system (e.g. CentOS, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu) on the same Host Server at the same time.

Unlike shared hosting which stores hundreds of users in the same directory, the data within your Vserver cannot be accessed by other users on the same physical server. You are free to install any applicatons and libraries that you wish, without any possibility of fear of interfering with other Vservers.
