Turbocharged VPS hosting from WebHostingBuzz

A Virtual Private Server is a new breed of hosting that gives you the features and functionality of a dedicated server but at a much lower price point. A Virtual Private Server, or VPS, account will be created on one physical server along with a number of other VPS accounts. However, the physical server will be running special virtualization technology (in our case, OpenVZ or Xen) that separates the hardware and software. This allows each VPS to get full root access and be setup, customized and run independently of the physical hardware. You can even reboot your VPS!

Yes! We're experts in the VPS field. We've offered Virtual Private Servers for a number of years and have several thousand VPS customers happily hosting their websites and businesses on our virtualized platform.

• We build each VPS from scratch. This means we only setup Virtual Private Servers with the latest software, all compiled from source and to your specific requirements. If you need custom PHP modules, Apache modules or more just let us know during the order process and we can build this into the setup
• We use fast, enterprise grade hardware for our physical VPS nodes. In terms of specification these are Supermicro rackmount servers with 8 x Xeon CPUs, 24GB DDR3 ECC Memory and 8 x SATA-300 RAID10 Hard Drives. The result is lightning fast virtual private servers for all applications, including Joomla, Magento, Wordpress and more.
• We offer a range of management options and can fully manage your VPS including all server software for a hassle-free solution.
• All of our Virtual Private Server plans are backed up by our award-winning customer service

If you are a web designer, a small web hosting company, a small/medium sized business or an advanced user who needs root access then chances are the answer is yes. A virtual private server (VPS) is a step up from a regular shared web hosting account. Resources are isolated so you are at far lower risk of someone else on the server causing you problem. You've got a lot of room to grow and can scale up and down our VPS plan quickly and easily, create your own reseller hosting accounts, setup and tweak Apache/PHP/MySQL and other services and enjoy all the benefits usually associated with a dedicated server at a much cheaper price point.

Our VPS hosting is fast, affordable and a good solution for many different needs.

As you can see, we offer a range of VPS options on both Xen and OpenVZ. Our Mini level plan, as the name suggests, is our entry-level package and designed for those with smaller requirements. Our Silver and Gold VPS plans are our most popular and support cPanel. Platinum Virtual Private Server offers the most disk space, bandwidth and memory resources out of any of our VPS plans so is ideal for the power user.

We strongly recommend you to choose cPanel for your VPS. cPanel includes WebHostManager which is a browser based interface used for managing many aspects of your Virtual Private Server. This makes it quicker and easy to create/modify/delete accounts, upgrade the software, view the current load of your VPS server and generally make life easier.

cPanel is well known as the world's most popular control panel software.

A quick summary of the benefits of VPS hosting is:

• Full root access
• Choice of Operating Systems
• Fully customize and choose your software
• Isolated and guaranteed resources (meaning no other user can impact on the VPS performance)
• Room to grow and easy upgradeability

There isn't a firm answer to this question. It depends on the size/popularity of your website, how efficient the website is and the type of software the website uses. You can, however, easily see the current performance of your VPS using WebHostManager and if you see performance slowing or the available resources drying up, you can upgrade to the next level at any time. Just get in touch with our support team and they'll perform the upgrade with the minimal downtime.

Like with any type of web hosting, you definitely get what you pay for. There are many cheap VPS hosts out there who offer unrealistically cheap Virtual Private Servers on inferior technology, slower hardware and outdated software. The support they provide is questionable and you will generally face far more problems choosing one of the very cheap providers.

WebHostingBuzz's VPS plans offer the perfect mix of affordability, performance, reliability and support. We are confident you will not find a better value VPS provider anywhere.
