What is a VPS
By using the industry's leading Virtualization solution Virtuozzo, we offer top of the line VPS packages for all customer types. Virtuozzo allows you to have several isolated VPS's (Virtual Private Servers) on one physical server, all with root access. These VPS's never interact with each other because all system resources are isolated from one other. This means other customers CANNOT affect your performance; we back that with a 100% guarantee. These VPS's allow you to install your own modules and custom applications at your leisure with the full root access option which comes with all VPS's by default. All Virtuozzo VPS's come with an end user powerpanel allowing you as the customer to restart, troubleshoot or backup your VPS without contacting KnownHost. Unlimited domains and all available add-ons for Plesk, cPanel or Directadmin are available at your request.
Top 5 Reasons why a VPS is better then a Shared or Reseller Package
- Performance - powerful Hosting Package with more flexibility then all regular shared hosting packages
- Flexibility - ability to install your own applications without the hosting provider's assistance (Root Access).
- End User Powerpanel/Disaster Recovery - this is a browser based GUI tool which allows you to restart, troubleshoot, backup and restore your own VPS without the help of your provider. You can also restart the core server components such as Apache, FTP, and DNS; even deploy a fresh OS with your former VPS account's data mounted to the new OS. This is all functionality free with all VPS packages. Restore a backup on the fly if you need to reinstall due to some sort of attack.
- Security/Upgrades - the option to test or clone an upgrade before doing it with the VzClone function. This comes from the ease of monitoring via Virtuozzo.
- Dynamic - when using a VPS, you have the ease of mind to know your performance will never be lacking. As you grow along with your web traffic, the VPS will adapt as needed with the use of the Virtuozzo technology. Upgrading to a higher resource VPS is simple with absolutely no downtime.
Virtuozzo creates isolated, secure virtual private servers (VPSs) or virtual environments on a single physical server enabling better server utilization, ensuring guaranteed resources and preventing applications from conflicting. Each VPS performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server; VPSs can be rebooted independently and have users, IP addresses, processes, system libraries and configuration files.
As an Operating System virtualization solution, the unique architecture enables the most efficient use of hardware, software and management resources. The light overhead and efficient design of Virtuozzo makes it the right virtualization choice for server consolidation, disaster recovery and all production servers with live applications and data.
