What is a VPS?
VPS stands for virtual private server. It is a single dedicated server partitioned into multiple isolated server environments that are shared by multiple users. A VPS provides all of the control, security and flexibility of a dedicated server for a fraction of the price.

What is the difference between VPS and shared hosting?
A VPS eliminates the restrictions of shared hosting by providing all of the administrative features and flexibility of a dedicated server. Each VPS user therefore receives their own set of services and a massive amount of disk space that they can customize to their specific needs. Shared hosting is limited in comparison because its users do not have root access and software configurations cannot be customized, despite the fact that physical resources are also multiplexed. A VPS on the other hand, contains its own unique file system and CGI-BIN, disk space, system resources, bandwidth and memory allotments, which allow for a high level of customization.

Is a VPS easy to manage?
Due to the fact that a VPS solution truly simulates a dedicated server, some technical understanding of server administration is required. If you choose our standard plan you will get a guarantee of a specific allocation of server resources, including CPU, memory and bandwidth, which allows the user to manage multiple servers and file areas through a comprehensive control panel. With our VPS Root solution you will receive all that is provided in the standard plan, plus we will provide users with: "root" or full administrative access; plus additional virtual disk space, monthly transfer, FTP User accounts and V-hosts.

Will I be affected by other customers sharing my server?
This is an area where Netsymmetrics shows a tremendous amount of strength. Netsymmetrics's proprietary hosting technology provides an environment that creates a wall of protection around your server resources, protecting you from the effects of other customers on your physical server. By carefully controlling the priority and scheduling of processes, memory and network flow, Netsymmetrics prevents any single customer from impacting shared resources, ensuring your website and applications perform consistently. A VPS will ensure "performance isolation" so that heavy traffic or CPU loads will not affect other VPS solutions on the same infrastructure. Other major features that characterize VPS solutions include: "fault tolerance," which ensures that errors, which affect one specific private server, do not affect others; and "enhanced security," which ensures that e-business applications can be deployed with greater privacy.

What is a V-Host?
A VPS can host multiple domains and Websites. Each VPS account has a predetermined allotment of virtual hosts based on size and performance of that hosting package. For an additional monthly fee, you may host more domains than your VPS package allows.
