Virtual Private Server (VPS)
What is a Virtual Private Server?
Linkmatics supplies viaVerio VPS v2, a leading technology that provides a hosting environment within your own Unix virtual machine. Each VPS is effectively an independent server for a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the management charges. You have your own independant (virtual) server, you have your own root access and ability to perform your own re-boot; yet multiple customers share the expense of hardware and network connections (while Linkmatics takes care of maintaining it all) without sacrificing performance or the freedom to run whatever software you choose.
The secret behind viaVerio VPS v2 by Linkmatics is how a single physical server is shared. Even though multiple customers share hardware, they do not share software or the environment.
Every VPS has its own complete directory structure, (just like a standalone Unix server), and its own set of dedicated applications (Web server, mail server, spam server, database etc.). And with VPS v2, each can be rebooted without affecting any other VPS on the physical server.
Fair Share* technology enhances protection and performance
Furthermore, even though hardware is shared, the VPS technology features 'fair share' scheduling of processes, memory, and network, so each VPS receives the resources it deserves.It's the best defence in preventing any single VPS from abusing shared resources and, ultimately, keeping your web site and applications performing consistently.
You would have to purchase a dedicated server costing hundreds per month to match the reliability, security, and flexibility of the VPS. viaVerio VPS technology by Linkmatics provides an unparalleled level of reliability and security while still offering maximum freedom and flexibility at an affordable price.

What are the primary enhancements in VPS v2?
VPS v2 extends the advantages of control, flexibility, and isolation by overcoming many of the limitations associated with our original VPS; VPS v2 significantly narrows the functionality chasm between VPS and a dedicated server. VPS v2 is even more like a standard UNIX dedicated server.
VPS v2 offers the following key features:
- Root access, including the ability to bind to privileged ports and install third party applications
- Multiple shell accounts
- Traditional UNIX group and user management, which enables more secure subhosting and increased flexibility over users and what privileges they have
- Access to the FreeBSD Ports Collection of applications
- Per-user disk quotas (versus per-service quotas on the original VPS)
- All services run under the VPS environment so there is no need for the "virtual" and "non-virtual" modes required on the original VPS
- "Fair share" technology, which promotes consistent performance and security by protecting the resources allocated to each VPS
|
What is meant by "fair share" technology?
"Fair share" is the name given to the technology that protects the system resources allocated to each VPS. In essence, it creates a sandbox (or a private and protected area) where any single VPS is limited from abusing the system resources like processes, memory, and bandwidth. Our fair share technology is the best defence in keeping web sites and applications performing consistently.
