Our Virtual Private Servers are a combination of the latest server-grade hardware components and industry-leading virtualization software OpenVZ. Each VPS is a truly unique and private environment with its own guaranteed resources and full root access. This system gives you the same level of root access as a dedicated server whilst sharing the cost of the hardware. With a VPS you are virtually running your own server but at a fraction of the cost. Our international VPS packages are hosted in Los Angeles, USA and offer unlimited bandwidth.
With a virtual private server, you get complete control. Your VPS is able to be customized in whatever ways you wish. You can install special software,
configure your applications specifically for your needs, and do a myriad of other things not possible with a standard shared hosting account.
