Virtual Private Servers
Virtual Private Servers are a low-cost alternative to paying for a full dedicated server. DarkStar Communications, in our partnerships with Ubiquity Hosting and Server Solutions, have brought forward two virtualized options for users - outlined in detail below
Managed VPS for Web Hosting
Ubiquity Hosting Solutions provides fully managed VPS designed for web hosting (not game hosting). This managed hosting environment is a perfect low-cost alternative to hosting your website on a dedicated server. On a Ubiquity VPS - you get nearly all features of a Ubiquity dedicated web hosting server - all systems administration handled for you by a team of pro's - and dedicated system resources for your websites.
Self-Managed VPS
Ubiquity Server Solutions provides self-managed Linux VPS. While it's not recommended to attempt game hosting in this virtualized environment, Ubiquity's self-managed VPS are an invaluable tool for experimenting with Linux in a cheap and flexible manner. USS VPS customers are given root access, and the ability to experiment with their virtual dedicated server at their own discretion. Mistakes can be easily be fixed by instant re-installs via the Virtuozzo control panel.
Don't Hesitate
You can get started on a VPS quickly and easily - just choose whether you'd like a managed web hosting or self-managed vps!
Virtual Private Server Hosting
VPS hosting is great for those who need their own space but are not ready to make the leap to dedicated hosting. With a VPS, a portion of a larger server’s resources are allotted and dedicated just for you. Your VPS is then 100% yours to use for whatever you think it can handle.
A VPS is great for small business applications, web hosting and IRCd hosting. If you break anything, it’s a quick and easy reinstallation of the VPS software to just start over.
A virtual private server is best described as being halfway between the flexibility levels of dedicated and fully managed web hosting. A virtual private server allows you to install whatever addons you need to keep your website running. Separation is also a great feature of a virtual private server, there is a lot more breathing room than a standard web server.
Virtual private servers are ideal for most applications where a dedicated server is too much or a standard website package is too little. The happy medium in between is virtual and private - just what you need.
