Many small business operations, start by getting a small fully equipped cubicle or work from home. In the virtual world the equivallent called 'Shared Server Web Hosting' would be the most suitable option . However, if you are somewhat bigger, operate in a highly regulated sector, or need manufacturing or retail space of some sort, probably you will go for a unit in a Shopping Center, Business Park, or a dedicated, completely separated space in an office building.
In the virtual world, the Virtual Private Server [ VPS ] Web Hosting would be the perfect fit for any of the latest scenarios. On one hand, you get more 'square footage' [ large hard disk ] from within which to operate, a dedicated connection to utilities and a dedicated access way, [ internet connection ]. On the other, you get dedicated access to the server unified 'command' center [ the CPU and memory ], and you can choose what type of 'equipment' [ software stack ] to install, go for a fully 'furnished' unit or choose a 'hybrid' option. The only feature you will have in common with other tenants is the location [ same server ]. Also, due to its increase space you would be able to manage a much larger operation from there.
Finally, unlike Shared Server Web Hosting where the monthly usage allowance of all utilities is dictated by the 'building operator' [ a.k.a. the hosting provider in our case ] and the cost is shared equally among tenants, with this one you get a preset usage amount included in the contract and pay whatever overussage you incur accordingly. Somewhat like your home/business utility bills. - Please note that this is an extremely simplistic, in layman terms and as close as possible nontechnical description, of this type of hosting environment.
N * vCore CPUs
A modern server motherboard has 4 CPU 'sockets' [ slots ] . That means they are equipped with 4 server grade CPUs [ processors ]. Each of these processors is made of several [ 8 to 28 ] 'mini' CPUs referred to as 'cores' or 'virtual' CPUs. So, an entry level server will have 32 'logical' or 'virtual' CPUs. Each VPS instance, will be allocated a preset number of 'virtual' CPUs.
N * GB Traffic Allowance
The amount of monthly data 'download' allowance. A page view or an email sent counts towards your data 'download' allowance.
N * GB ECC RAM
As with the CPUs a server motherboard will have several [ 2 to 24 ] memory 'sockets' [ slots ]. Each memory module is 32 GB in size. So, again, an entry level server will have at minimum 64 GB of memory. Each VPS instance, will be allocated a preset percentage of that memory.
N * GB Local 'LB' Storage
The capacity of your VPS 'virtual' hard drive. Local storage 'LB' [ load balanced ] means that your 'virtual' hard disk is on the same server, however is replicated across several physical hard drives.
N * IPv4 & IPv6 / * N Subnet
The amount of IP addresses allocated to your VPS instance. You get 1 x IPv4 [ the old type, IP address ] and 1 x IPv6 [ the modern type of an IP address ] /64 Subnet. A 'subnet' is a set of IPs. A /64 subnet has more, a load more than 64 IP addresses.
Note: Although we do not impose nor recommend the number of domains, databases, email addresses, and so on, that you may have in your hosting account, you should be aware that the limit would be dictated by the size of content you intend to store and that of the data allowance your hosting plan has.
Operating System
CentOS 7 | One of the most used and reliable 'linux' server OS. As Windows there are many out there available, but unlike Windows they are developed by different software companies and therefore, the cost and purpose vary accordingly. CentOS 7 is one of them.
Software Stack
A minimum set of software packages installed on a server or hosting plan to allow seamless functionality of your online presence. LAMP [ Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP ] and/or LEMP [ Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP ] are the most prevalent ones. For VPS, Cloud and Dedicated servers different 'software stacks' are available if required.
BackUp & Storage
Although all our VPS plans content is triplicated across several hard disks, we also backup & store your VPS content daily, on separate storage media, with up to 3 days in areas retention. Just in case.
Server Security
In addition to the free TLS | SSL Certificate offered to protect your communication, we install as standard in all VPS Web Hosting accounts a software firewall and, an 'optional' [ licence based ] antivirus package to protect your content against malicious attacks.
Note: Although we do not impose what type of software you may upload and use on our servers, any such upload would be checked for suitability and security.
Generically speaking, if you do not break any law, there should be none. However, on moral grounds [ at least ], you should not, and may not use our hosting infrastructure to promote hatred, bullying, discrimination [ on any ground ] post messages [ or allow others to post ], that can be construed as calls to acts of rebellion or terrorism, or post and promote any content or conduit pertaining to pornography [ of any kind ]. None of those would be allowed nor tolerated. Should that be the case, your site and content would be deleted, it's content submitted to any law enforcement agency if required, and your account terminated. No exceptions whatsoever.
