Why choose a Linux VPS?

A Virtual Private Server, or VPS is a way of splitting server resources. Each server can run as it's own complete server independant of the other servers. This technology evolved from mainframe computing and has hit the hosting industry by storm. Virtualization provides a low cost of entry for small businesses to get their own server space.

Virtualization for the small business is the way for them to develop a fast, secure and profitable web presence. With features like Shell access, Custom name servers, the ability to add multiple IP's on the fly, Virtual Private Servers provide flexible services to the growing business. If you factor in the ability to upgrade your server in most cases in under one hour, you have a very robust platform for your small business.
