Virtual Private Servers

Virtual Private Servers (VPS) have become very popular as of late. They’re a whole other class of hosting option that is a hybrid between a dedicated server and a shared host. The idea is that a server is segmented off into several virtual servers, the result being that each user shares hardware while offering a full server to the end user. While some people need a dedicated host because of hardware needs, some only need the configurability that only exists when you have root on a server. With your own server you can install and run custom programs that might not be available to you otherwise and that can make a huge difference.

Webfusion has recently revamped its full line of virtual servers. They’re a UK based host that offer a full lineup of hosting services. Their VPS offerings bridge the gap both in price an functionality between their entry level hosting and their dedicated hosts. Aside from the obvious advantages of having root at a much lower cost, their packages offer unlimited bandwidth, Plesk and PPC vouchers to help you get your website launched.

The prices are very affordable when you compare them to the dedicated hosting plans. So if you’re looking to grow your site, this option is a great second step. If you need more details on their VPS offerings, check out their press release:

WebFusion has given its virtual private server (VPS) range a complete revamp, providing industry-leading value for money and a raft of new features to maximise website performance.

The new WebFusion VPSs have unlimited traffic with guaranteed and burstable RAM to ensure that websites perform, even when handling sudden traffic peaks. The latest version of the Plesk control panel, combined with the Virtuozzo control panel at the back end, provides webmasters with root access for complete control. Linux-based VPSs are Ruby and Ruby-on-Rails ready and run on Ubuntu 6.06, while Windows servers are equipped with SQL Server 2005 and ASP.net 2.0.

With prices from £14.99 per month, WebFusion VPSs are available on Linux and Windows, and are perfect for both webmasters of business critical websites and the reseller community.

“Our new range of virtual private servers is our best yet,” says Mark Beyer, sales and marketing director at WebFusion. “Server enhancements, such as guaranteed and burstable RAM, mean that our VPSs are a step closer to providing dedicated server performance, with a price normally associated with shared hosting. We believe these advancements make our VPS offering the best in class.”

Additional benefits of WebFusion VPS include:
• Lower prices, with servers available from £14.99 per month
• Better hardware: Dell PowerEdge 2950 Energy Smart
• New contention ratio for servers to reduce the effect of ‘noisy neighbours’ on the server
• Ruby preinstalled on Linux VPS and Ruby-on-Rails available via a single click in Plesk
• Extra disk space available
• SCSI RAID 10 for reliability and business continuity
• Plesk 8.1 installed as standard (worth £200)
