Virtual Hosting

The best of a dedicated server at a fraction of the cost!

Virtualized servers are servers that are "carved" out of larger systems. The idea is that one enterprise-level server should be able to hold many websites and handle a great deal of email traffic, and normally has a great deal of processing power to spare.

Many traditional servers sit idle and wasted much of the time. Using Citrix XenServer Enterprise, we offer "slices" of a larger server that look, feel, and taste like your own dedicated server. You have as much CPU and memory as your application needs, but nothing is wasted. The server is yours, right down to the root password, if you want.

Just like the dedicated servers, monitoring, backups, basic system administration, CentOS or RHEL support, and 24x7 NOC support (including technical support) are all included in the cost of your virtual server platform.

We also support Windows installations on the virtual servers. Customers are currently responsible for their own Microsoft Licensing compliance.

Standard Offerings

Our virtualized servers are housed on multi-core AMD Opteron blades. The servers utilize shared disk arrays so that central backups and software administration are easy and convenient. All disk arrays use RAID 5 for speed and redundancy.

Additional Resources

You can get larger chunks of the blades as well. Our a la carte offerings are priced on the following standards.

Option	Unit	Monthly Cost*
Additional vCPUs	per vCPU	$50/ea
Additional Memory (RAM)	per GB	$50/mo
Additional Disk	per GB	$2/mo
Additional Bandwidth	See the Bandwidth page

We're here for you

Data on all disks is backed up, and guaranteed by our high-availability servers. Note that we can also dedicate CPU's if required, but we do not recommend it. XenServer balances requests between all available CPU's resulting in higher performance for all virtualized hosts.

We can help with any customized solution, and will save you a lot of the cost of owning and maintaining your own equipment. Let us know your needs, and we'll design a solution for you.
