Virtual Private Servers let you have the root on a server as if you were on a true dedicated server, at a very low cost. Performances remains almost unchanged, as we don't put too many customers on the same hardware (see the following explanations).
We now get only Supermicro 1U servers with PDSME+, PDSMU and PDSMU+ motherboard and core2 duo or quad processor with VT and EM64T features (1066 MHz RAM), so we can run 64 bits operating systems. All our servers have at least 4x1GB of RAM and 2x320 SATA2 hard drives. Older servers are intel P4 servers with 800 MHz FSB and HT at more than 3GHz, with 2GB or 4GB of RAM, and 2x200 or 2x300 GB SATA drive using soft RAID1 and LVM, under Linux Debian (200GB or 300GB of data with RAID1 redundancy) for xen dom0. We currently don't use expensive dual-core xeon platforms, as the cost of a single processor would double the overall retail price. We are convince that the consumer product (the newest Pentium with VT and dual FSB) are perfect, as they offer you the best deal with the maximum power. Also, we keep using 4x1GB ram and not more for each of our servers as we don't want to put too much customers on the same server (like other hosts do).
Your virtual server will be hosted in a native LVM partition of physical servers for faster access (no slow NFS access) and we have never more than 12 to 16 customers on the same server to provide good quality.
Few words about Xen virtualisation software:
We use Xen virtualisation system because it's simply the state of the art in virtual server hosting (VPS hosting). With Xen, end users enjoy short cpu, hard drive and network latencies thanks to accurate scheduling (note: this is totaly different from other virtualization technologies like UML, vServer or Virtuozzo). Memory is not shared and not burstable among users, the physical memory is simply split a slice that we rent to you, the same way we do with LVM HDD slices.
Our Xen VPS control panel
We have released an open source solution for Xen VPS hosting. This solution gives our customer the ability to start/shutdown/force-shutdown a virtual server. With it, you can as well do a file system check (fsck) and reinstall your operating system from scratch with few clicks on our control panel. Another nice feature is that once you have processed the account opening form and payment, your account will be opened instantly, and your operating system installed. All you will have to do is start the virtual machine by clicking on the "boot-up" button, setup a root password, and start using your VPS. |
