What Virtual Dedicated Server is?

Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) is the Unix system that runs on a computer where some similar systems have installed. VDS control type is quite standard. Virtual Dedicated Server administrator is the system full-fledged root, who can control its functioning, except the hardware component (he has no access to it).

Description

Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) technology creates multiple dedicated-like environments on a single server. Each website is assigned a private, isolated space. Each VDS offers enhanced security and complete isolation from other sites residing on the same server. VDS Technology divides up the disk space, resources, and network space. Each VDS has its own operating system. If a VDS on the same physical server crashes, it will not affect any of the other accounts on the server.

Unlike shared hosting, this technology completely isolates each VDS, or “slice”, in its own memory, disk, CPU, and network space. Hence, each VDS is guaranteed machine resources that cannot be used by any other VDS or customer. Just like a dedicated server, each VDS has its own independent operating system with isolated instances of Apache (web server), Sendmail (mail server), and all installed software. A crashed application (Apache, Sendmail, MySQL, etc.) in another customer's VDS has no effect on your VDS.

You get full web-based management which includes administration of email and FTP accounts, aliases, IP filtering rules, DNS configuration, and quick and easy installation of desired applications.
