Introducing Windows VPS Hosting
eHosting now offers a range of Virtual Private Severs (VPS) plans in both Windows and Linux operating systems. All plans have the option of SWSoft's Plesk control panel and root or managed service levels. Plans start at £14.49 for Linux VPS and £19.49 for Windows.
VPS hosting sits comfortably between the low cost benefits of shared hosting and the high performance of commercial level dedicated servers. A VPS can allow you full administrative/root access to the operating system, allowing you to have a truly customised environment for your website/server needs.
Each VPS performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server for its users and applications, as it can be rebooted independently and has its own administrative/root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files.
Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting solutions differ from shared hosting packages in that whilst there is a specified limitation on resources such as hard disk space and band width usage, other resources are allocated at guaranteed levels, which normally are treated as `first come first served` with shared hosting. This means that with a VPS package a client has a minimum guaranteed proportional use of the processor and memory. Essentially with shared hosting you are susceptible to other clients usage patterns, whereas with VPS you are guaranteed a specific level of performance. One other important
difference is that many aspects of shared hosting may be impacted by restrictions hosting providers place on their shared server packages to provide reliable services to all users on the server. VPS clients can customise many features normally controlled by the provider which enables greater optimisation by users.
