Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting Plans
Virtual Private Servers are suited for experienced server administrators, or Linux users whose applications require more control than offered in a shared or managed hosting plan. They are an ideal solution for applications which need more power and flexibility, and are offered as a low cost alternative to a Dedicated Server.
A Virtual Private Server or VPS as they are sometimes called execute on a host server completely isolated from the other virtual servers operating on the same hardware. Each VPS performs and executes entirely in its stand-alone environment and as such has virtually the same segregation of dedicated hardware.
SiteHost currently provide Virtual Private Servers (VPS) from our network facilities physically located in Auckland, New Zealand. And also through hardware we manage & control hosted in overseas in Germany.
Virtual Private Server Features
- Linux Operating System
- Full root access
- Ability to install custom software
- Can scale up to a dedicated server as your requirements grow.
Maintenance and software updates of the VPS is left up to you, the customer. As there is a high level of expertise required in managing a server, we optionally provide managed services with our VPS plans. SiteHost can be contracted to service & support the server only if the Operating system is Debian Linux.
