Load-Balanced VPS Hosting Solutions

Our fully managed load-balanced VPS-based solutions are being offered as a better choice, rather than the traditional single physical dedicated server solutions offered on the Internet today.

With the ability to fine tune each Virtual Private Server to their specific tasks as web servers or a database server, rather than both directly competing with each other for resources on a single physical server, you gain an advantage towards better web application performance.

Finally, when the time comes that your web site outgrows the ability of our VPS solutions, the migration over to a Managed Dedicated Load-balanced Solution is a simple process as well!

What do you mean by "fully managed" hosting?

This refers to the type of server level administration we provide. Functions like root/shell access is retained by our staff, functionality is the same as our Shared/Shared Pro solutions, but physical server resources are guaranteed rather than being shared. We only configure and maintain the software and server daemons covered by a base Redhat Enterprise v5 installation, ie: versions of apache, mysql, perl, php, sftp access, etc. are what are shipped and provided full support by Redhat support engineers.

All apache log storage, email accounts, stats, sFTP access, etc. are still handled by our central servers, allowing your VPS systems to focus on handling your web site traffic rather than secondary tasks that we already take care of elsewhere.

We handle the server side administration and maintenance of your systems, you supply and maintain the web applications that power your web site. Simple as that.

What are the details about php memory, execution time, and file upload size limits are for php scripts?

Sure, below you will find the pre-set limits, and as your VPS solution has dedicated resources strictly for your usage, these can be increased on request.

Default:
* php memory usage = 64 MB
* php script execution = 90 sec.
* php max_post_size = 20 MB
* php max_upload = 20 MB

Max Recommended on VPSs:
* php memory usage = 128 MB
* php script execution = 600 sec.
* php max_post_size = 100 MB
* php max_upload = 100 MB

What hardware is used, and what virtualization technology do you use?

Our Load-balanced VPS hosting solutions are powered by quad/quad core servers, with a minimum of 64 Gigabytes of RAM on each physical server, central web storage is powered by enterprise-grade Netapp FAS storage arrays via NFS mount points. Storage solutions are optimized, highly available Netapp storage systems, different storage systems are used for virtual server OS, web file storage and database server configurations for maximum performance across the different file systems.

Virtualization is provided by VMware's vSphere, the industry’s first cloud operating system. vSphere is the next evolutionary step in IT computing, built on a proven virtualization platform. vSphere was selected by us to provide the foundation for delivering the highest levels of application service performance, stability and security to our clients.

Can you explain a bit more about the VPS Resources in the table above?:

vCPU - Each vCPU (virtual cpu) is equal to the processing ability of a single physical processor core.

RAM - The amount of RAM provided is fully allocated to each of your VPS systems.

Monitoring - Resource utilization levels for each of your VPS systems, and the underlying full physical servers are monitored at all times and constantly reviewed by our staff members to maintain high levels of performance and up-time. When required by resource usage levels on a given physical server your VPS systems will be seamlessly moved to other physical servers, and/or underlying storage arrays with no down-time or impact to your visitors. This is provided by the advanced functionality of VMware's vMotion and Storage vMotion technologies.
