Virtual Private Servers are the most advanced step in server virtualization technology. They are used to partition a single physical server into many (as many as 1000) isolated virtual private servers. Each virtual private server looks and behaves exactly like a real networked server system, complete with its own set of init scripts, users, processes, filesystems, etc.

Most applications that require root level access can be installed within your Virtual Private Server without any modifications. Applications and services do not have to be aware of Virtuozzo as they will act as though they are being installed on a true dedicated server.

You will have your choice between Plesk, cPanel or Webmin on Linux, and Plesk on Windows. You can also choose to not have any control panel installed if you wish.

WebhostGIANT uses Parallels Virtuozzo software to power our VPS offerings. Virtuozzo is the world's most popular platform for Virtual Private Servers (VPS). It is the only real VPS solution available, providing carrier-grade levels of reliability and scalability, proven with tens of thousands of Virtual Private Servers (VPSs) in production use. Virtuozzo is the only solution that is designed specifically for carrier-grade servers.

If your usage grows to a point that your VPS begins to slow or your services are not operating as fast as they use to, then you have a few options. One, your can request to have your VPS upgraded to the next plan up. This will guarantee your VPS will receive more resources to operate your sites and applications. You can also have your VPS upgraded to a full dedicated server. This can be done seemlessly without any downtime.

Yes, you will have full root access to your VPS. You may install any software or applications on your virtual private server you choose. Root access is one of the greatest benefits of a virtual private server. Unlike many host who falsely advertise 'full' root access, WebhostGIANT VPSs are given true root access.

Each VPS is set up to host unlimited domains. The only thing limiting the number you can host is your space available, your control panel license and your resource use.

No. There is no difference between a Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) and a Virtual Private Server (VPS.) Some hosting companies choose to call it a VDS and others like WebhostGIANT choose to call it a VPS.

Yes. All VPSs are fully managed. WebhostGIANT will support all security patch installs, all software upgrades and any Plesk or cPanel control panel upgrades. If you choose to use cPanel or Plesk, WebhostGIANT will also provide support issues for those control panels.

All VPSs come with 3 IP addresses by default. One for your server and two for your own private name servers. You can request additional IPs at $1.00/mo/IP.

No. IRC is not allowed on our network and we do not allow adult content on VPS solutions. You will need a full dedicated to host adult content.

With shared/virtual hosting you share your space, resources, applications and environment with sometimes hundreds of other users. This configuration can allow any issues to a single site to affect the performance and security of anyone else on the same server. A VPS is divided into multiple isolated environments. Each VPS has it's own server software and provides autonomy for each website. Any issues to a site would only affect that VPS and not any other site(s) on the same server. As with a true dedicated server, each VPS has it's own independent operating system with it's own web server, mail server, and any installed software.

Yes, by default your VPS will include three dedicated IP Addresses. One is for your server and the other two are for your own private name servers. An example is ns1.yourdomain.com and ns1.yourdomain.com.

You can have as many databases and connections you need. It is your VPS which acts just like a true dedicated server. Your database will be completely secure and can be managed with PHP, SSH, and/or myPHPadmin. As your database grows you can always increase your service plan to include more server resources.
