What's
a Virtual Dedicated Server?
Virtual dedicated servers offer many of the capabilities and features
of dedicated servers, including admin (root) access and dedicated
IP addresses, but at a much lower price. The customer shares server
space with a small number of other customers. But because each
virtual dedicated server is effectively isolated from other accounts
on the server, the user has full control over the server space.
What's
a Dedicated Server?
Unlike normal hosting plans, which put many customers' accounts
on a single server, a dedicated server is reserved exclusively
for the account and usage of a single customer. The dedicated
server customer has exclusive rights to the server's bandwidth,
memory and storage space; performance will not be affected by
traffic and usage patterns of other customers.
Which
Server Operating System is right for you?
Your Web server operating system is not necessarily related to
your own computer operating system. The difference is in how your
web site is developed. If you are unsure which type of hosting
server to choose, please contact our customer support team.
