developed by Sphera® Corporation. Sphera is the leading developer of web hosting
automation and management software for Web hosting providers.
Your own Web Server
Unlike virtual hosting environments our VDS accounts have an independent web server. This allows each website to operate independently from all other websites on the same physical machine. If another user were to overload or crash their VDS only their web server would be affected, not yours.
Independent File Structure
Virtual Dedicated Servers have their own server software and file structure that runs inside an isolated file directory and provides autonomy for each website.
Administrative Privileges (chroot)
Administrative Privileges allows you to administer services such as Apache, Sendmail and many other system settings. System changes made by one user will not affect another user.
Your own Mail Server
Unlike virtual hosting, our VDS environment allows clients to utilize their own independent mail server. This allows our users to have more customization for mail options. In addition, having your own mail server helps distribute mail load across the network.
Ability to Install Applications
VDS website owners have full control of the environment with administrative privileges and may install additional applications.
Multi-Layered Security
The first layer of security is general user authentication into a VDS. The second layer of security is applied in the unlikely event that the first layer of security becomes compromised. The second layer of security acts as a firewall to prevent an intruder from accessing any of the other VDS's on the physical server.
Your own Database Server
Unlike shared or virtual hosting environments, our VDS infrastructure allows clients to utilize their own independent database server.
Ability to Host Multiple websites
Virtual hosting accounts can be added within a VDS. This allows for multiple website hosting under a specific VDS.
