Linux Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting Plans
A Linux Virtual Private Server are best 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 Linux Virtual Private Servers (VPS) from our network facilities physically located in Auckland, New Zealand.

- Linux operating system - Debian, Ubuntu or CentOS VPS.

Maintenance and software updates of the VPS is left up to you, the customer.
