Virtual private server and the best selling dedicated hosting


By: Jirka Coolhousing
Not only continuous support but also NIX/Transit connectivity is important to providers of dedicated hosting and server housing. In case of dedicated servers of the Coolhousing s.r.o. company, this connectivity is 100/8Mbps with upgrade available. In addition, the company disposes of own server room.

So what is the best selling dedicated hosting?
The best selling solution of the Coolhousing company in the field of dedicated hosting is the CoolBarebone #1 server. This server is equipped with the Intel Atom Intel® processor, it runs on the 945GC Express motherboard + ICH7 chipset and disposes of 2GB DDR2-800MHz RAM and one HDD 320GB SATAII 7200r.

The server is available to the customer within one hour after ordering. A flat monthly fee for this dedicated hosting amounts to CZK 1,250.00, lump-sum installation fee amounts to CZK 300.00. After 14 moths, the server can be purchased for residual value of CZK 59.00 to become a private property.

Virtual private server
A virtual private server, also referred to as VPS, is a solution for larger projects, which, however, could not manage to utilize the potential of advanced dedicated servers. From software point of view, the server is absolutely independent. From hardware point of view, the server is one machine, whose performance is equally divided among clients.

At first sight, it appears to a better hosting from performance point of view. However, there are multiple advantages over expensive hosting. Perhaps the greatest advantage is guaranteed memory, which can be a problem even with large web hosting companies. For instance, minimum of 32MB RAM is needed for an automatic update of the most popular blogging system called WordPress. You would be surprised how many people have to update their blog themselves due to too low RAM limit. At the same time, the cheapest virtual servers cost around CZK 290.00 per month.

Nowadays, virtual private server is one of the best choices in the field of web hosting. Compared to classical web hosting, it offers user much more freedom and flexibility. That is to say, VPS can be considered as full-valued server. You can do whatever you want on this server. You can add other domains, databases, FTP accounts and you can even set up security level as needed. You do not have to take account of preset limits due to other people. Do you need any special PHP function? You can just enable it.
