In addition to our Shared Hosting, we can offer Virtual Servers using OpenVZ virtualisation technology to provide Linix servers.
A virtual server gives you full control. You can install any software and do anything you like with your server. This is ideal if you have special requirements, for example hosting a large site, or for hosting a large number of sites, whether they are your own, or those of your clients (ideal for web developers who want to sell their own webspace).
Having your own virtual server also means you are completely separated from other users of the system giving better security and reliability. Your virtual server can even be rebooted on demand without affecting any other users.
We have worked hard to find a data centre with a high quality network and suitable redundancy so that we can provide a superior level of reliability and speed. Features which ensure high availability include:
- Fully mirrored (RAID 1) disks
- Dual redundant power supplies with separate UPS backup
- Generator backup
- High spec Dell PowerEdge 2950 hardware
Charging is monthly, and consists of two parts: disk space and data transfer. You only pay for what you use. The minimum charge is just £20 per month.
Disk Space
You will be charged every month for the maximum amount of disk space you use in the month:
- <100GB: £1.25/GB
- 100-250GB: £1.00/GB
- 250-500GB: £0.75/GB
- 500GB+: £0.50/GB
Example: Hard disk usage of 125GB would be charged at (100GB x £1.25) + (25GB x £1.00) = £150
Data Transfer
Data transfer is charged per GB every month:
- < 40GB: £1.75/GB
- 40-80GB: £1.50/GB
- 80GB-120GB: £1.25/GB
- 120GB+: £1.10/GB
Example: Data transfer of 60GB would be charged at (40GB x £1.75) + (20GB x £1.50) = £100
Setup
If you commit to a 12 month contract, setup is free, otherwise we will charge £100.
We have capacity to get most servers up within three working days. Please contact us to discuss your requirements, or for more details.
