|
Do I get root access? |
Root access comes with all VPS
accounts, allowing you to take full control of your server much like if
it was a true dedicated server. You can install
whatever custom software you want. A VPS does of course not give
you direct access to server hardware.
|
|
|
What operating
systems and control panels can I
use? |
Depending on your configuration,
our VPS servers currently support the CentOS, Fedora Core, Ubuntu, Suse or Debian O/S. For control
panels all panels come with a Virtuozzo Panel interface for reboots and
service monitoring.
For advanced control panels, we offer Cpanel/WHM, Plesk, or DirectADMIN.
Please note that all Cpanel and Plesk configurations will be setup with CentOS
as it is the most stable for these panels to run on.
When no control panel is installed a Virtuozzo power panel is installed
to control VPS operaions.
What setup do you
recommend? The most stable setup and the one most supported
by hosts all over the world is CentOS matched
with Cpanel/WHM. This is also the setup most of our shared and dedicated
servers run on so we know it well.
|
|
|
Can I host multiple
websites? |
Yes, you may create as many
accounts as you like in relation to the limits of the control panel you
install.
|
|
|
Can I upgrade
software myself? (Apache, Cpanel,
PHP, MySQL etc.) |
Yes. Because you have root
access, you can upgrade any piece of software you want to any version
you want.
|
|
|
Will other server clients be
able to crash the server? |
Normally no! A VPS is not
affected by other clients. Abnormal conditions such as DOS
attacks can exist just like with any other server.
|
|
|
What is bursting and SLM Management? |
Your VPS comes with a set allocation
of RAM which is always available for your system to use. In addition to
this your VPS will also come with either BURST RAM or SLM RAM.
BURST: If your VPS has bursting and requires additional resources, it will
pull them from the available resource pool (this is a burst) and return
them when they are no longer needed. So if you have a temporary
spike, the resource pool will normally cover you. SLM: If your VPS has
SLM Management, in the event your VPS uses all of its physical RAM SLM will
automatically delay the execution of processes to wait for more RAM to become
available. After this it intelligently decides which processes to kill to
maintain a running system. Kind of like having a manager watching your processes
24 hours a day. On the kernel level it also decides what should be preempted to swap in the
system and which data is most rarely used. This is more efficient from overall
performance point of view.

Can I install my own
programs? |
As you have full root
access, you may install any other program that your O/S may
support.
Of course, programs that are seen as dangerous to server or network
operations or violating our rules are not allowed.
|
|
|
Can I use Tomcat,
Java, Cold Fusion, etc? |
Since you have root access you
can install anything you want. We have custmers running such
things as Tomcat, JBoss, Resin, ProgresSQL, Weblogic and Cold Fusion
with no problems. Normally running these type of
application servers requires a higher RAM/memory plan. Keep in
mind that any custom installations are your responsibility. We
can not directly provide support and debug for such.

|
|
Do you
allow adult content? |
|
|
Most VPS setups can support adult content. But please
ask first. We have special servers for adult content specially balanced
for those kind of websites. |
