Virtual Hosting is a type of (mid-tier) Hosting Service, called Virtual Private Servers (VPS) or Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS). Basically, a VPS (aka VDS) is a hybrid of both Shared & Dedicated Hosting - in that a VPS emulates a Dedicated Server... but the Hardware Node (i.e. Physical Server) may actually contain multiple VPS instances, that share the server's resources (i.e. CPU, Memory).

Therefore, with a VPS Plan, you have an independent and isolated environment, with your own: OS, Applications, Services, etc. - including a minimum guaranteed amount of the server's resources, such as: CPU; Memory; Disk Space; Bandwidth, etc.

The impact of this is that no one VPS instance is able to monopolize the server's resources - thus preventing any possibility of uneven resource distribution, or "abuse" / "over-use" of the server's resources.

This is made possible by Virtuozzo™ Containers, by Parallels™... which will even allow a VPS to "burst" and use the full resources of the server - so long as it does not infringe upon the resource needs of other VPS instances on the same Hardware Node. In the case of where a resource is in full use, each VPS is guaranteed a certain amount of resources - based upon the VPS / VDS Plan.

ViUX™ provides several levels of Virtual Private Servers (VPS) to meet the needs of almost every user, at prices that start near those of our upper level Shared Hosting Server (SHS) Plan.

Based upon your needs we offer VPS Plans that support: 1 to 10, 100, or Unlimited Websites; with: 10, 15, or 20 GB of Disk Space; and 1, 1.5, or 2 GB of Memory! We even offer a special "Build Your Own VPS" Plan with a base configuration of 5 GB of Disk Space and 512 MB of Memory!

Our VPS Plans provide an ideal upgrade path for those with sites that are not well suited for (or have "outgrown") Shared Hosting and therefore are in need of their own Dedicated Server; however do not want to incur the full expense of a Dedicated Server. VPS is the perfect solution in such cases, as it provides all of the features of a Dedicated Server plus most of the resources and power, but does so at a fraction of the cost.

Major benefits exist with Virtual (VPS) over Shared (SHS) Hosting, such as, with VPS you have your own private: Web; E-mail; FTP; Database; & Application Server(s). For instance, gone would be the possibility that you would encounter an inability to send or receive e-mail due to the actions of a user outside of your domain, as is possible with Shared Hosting.

Dedicated Hosting is a type of (high-end) Web Hosting service, which we refer to as "Dynamic" Dedicated Servers (DDS). The term "Dynamic" refers to our use of Virtuozzo, by Parallels™ – to deploy one (or more) VDS Containers on the Dedicated Server... to which 100% of the server's resources (i.e. CPU, Memory, Hard Drives, etc.) - are allocated as desired.

What makes this method of Dedicated Server deployment "Dynamic" are the features of Virtuozzo, such as: Reliable Backups / Restores; Easy Server Migrations / Upgrades; etc. - combined with the power of a Dedicated Server of your specific setup.

The impact of this is that the only limit on the resources available to your Website(s) is that of the Dedicated Server as you configured it when placing your order. Since there are no VDS Containers present on the server other than your own... there is no sharing of resources with other users.

These and other factors make Dynamic Dedicated Servers (DDS) the perfect solution for those in need of an advanced Hosting Solution - with near-zero downtime - at an affordable price, as well as, those needing multiple Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS) with easy central management.

Please expand the section below for details of ViUX™ Dedicated Hosting...

ViUX™ provides several levels of Dynamic Dedicated Servers (DDS), each with various configuration options. Based upon your specific needs we offer DDS Plans that support: 1 to 10, 100, or Unlimited Websites; 250 GB to 1 TB (+) Hard Drives - with an option for 1 to 6 Drives of the desired size in a Raid Array; and 2 GB to 32 GB of Memory!

Our DDS Plans provide an ideal upgrade path for those with sites that are not well suited for (or have "outgrown") a Virtual Private Server (VPS) and therefore must have the full resources of their own Dedicated Server. Due to the Dynamic nature of our Dedicated Servers, such an upgrade from VPS to DDS could not be any easier! To initiate an upgrade from VPS to DDS we simply deploy your Dedicated Server of choice with your selected options in place, image the server with the base software set (i.e. OS, Anti-Virus, Disk De-fragmentation, & Virtuozzo), and then "push" your VPS to the new server. This can even be done with near-zero downtime! Our use of Virtuozzo to deploy our Dedicated Servers and the resulting ease of migration and management is why we refer to our Dedicated Servers as being "Dynamic".

VPS & DDS are almost identical services with one important exception... With DDS you have 100% of the servers resources for your exclusive use – (vs.) – VPS where the server's resources are distributed to multiple VPS Containers based upon your selected VPS / VDS Plan level.
