What is Virtual Dedicated Servers
(VDS)?
All Pro Web has available a revolutionary new technology,
the "virtual server". A virtual server is created when you divide a
single computer into multiple, "virtual" machines. Each virtual
machine has its own unique domain name and properties. (ie:
"yourcompany.com") and performs much like a dedicated server. The
VDS technology uniquely 'slices' or 'partitions' the physical server
into multiple isolated servers within a single machine. Unlike
shared hosting, the technology completely isolates each VDS, or
'slice' in it's own memory, disk space, cpu resources, and network
space. Just like a dedicated server, each VDS has it's 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.
Comparison Between
Shared Hosting and Virtual Dedicated
Servers

Shared Hosting Environment In a
Shared Hosting Environment all of the accounts on each server
share resources from the server. If one account uses up all
the resources, all of the other accounts on the server will
suffer. |
Virtual Dedicated
Servers VDS
Technology divides up the disk space, resources and network
space. Each VDS has it's own operating system. If a VDS on the
same physical server crashes it will not affect any of the
other accounts on the server. |
