How
does VPS compare to Dedicated Servers?
Please see our comparative
table below and email us for further
questions.
Each VPS client has full root access,
can reboot the server and services, install
and upgrade software. Other than with
reseller hosting the performance of VPS
servers is not effected by any abuse or
activity of other reseller accounts and
domains elsewhere on the same physical
server: minimum resources allocated to
your VPS are guaranteed and not shared.
We presently offer VPS servers with Ubuntu, CentOS
(same as RedHat Enterprise Linux), etc. as plain
Linux server, and pre-installed and licensed
with cPanel/WHM or DirectAdmin control
panels.
