You need flexible settings and services configuration absolute control

A Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS / VPS) gives you - a VDS owner - root-access to the system, this allows you to modify server configuration files, install applications or modify system software, in a shared environment you have to rely on server settings that are 'best fit' for all clients and this may not suit your needs. The range of virtual services include also your own dedicated telnet, web, ftp, email, dns servers (primary and backup) and loads more.

MiniVDS provides you a VDS that is completely installed with operating system and ISPmanager Lite. You don’t need extensive knowledge of maintaining, managing and securing your virtual dedicated server (VDS), basic knowledge of server technology should be sufficient. From your internet browser you can easily manage your server and execute tasks via the ISPmanager control panel.

You are tired of limits on the number of sites, data bases, mail boxes and the like.

Unlike other "virtual" or "shared" hosting packages, Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS / VPS) allows you to you can produce an unlimited amount of sites, databases, domain zones, SSH- and FTP-users, mail boxes, etc. Virtual Dedicated Servers eliminates all the restrictions of virtual (or shared) hosting. By allowing root access, VPS allows you to install and configure your own software, meeting all of your complex hosting needs. You depend on your guaranteed allotment of disk space, CPU, memory, and bandwidth. Though the server is shared with other users, your VPS will perform in isolation. This means that the bandwidth and CPU resources used by other users will never affect you.

Even if you know the definite number of sites or databases required for your needs, the lack of such limitations will make you feel more comfortable doing business. Imagine the situation then you want to test a script or some new settings. Everything you will have to do is to create a site (database,...) and try out your new script there. This way you can test whatever you like without running the risk of damaging your actually working site.

You ever need to install some special software, like, for example, modules for Perl

Every miniVDS Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS / VPS) comes with enough preinstalled software. Anyway, if the software, service or module you require is not already installed, you have the administrative control to install it yourself. You can also install your own CGI scripts, system libraries, Perl modules, or other programs. VDS allows customers to install and run most FreeBSD- and Unix-compatible software exactly the same way it would be done on a dedicated FreeBSD or Linux server.

With VDS, you do not depend on your hosting-provider. You can use the software that meets exactly your needs and exactly your business requirements.

You want to feel a lot more secure. No one else will have access to your server and you can be positive that you are secure

Since each Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS / VPS) is effectively isolated from other accounts hosted on a single physical server, you will feel a lot more secure with a dedicated server than a shared server. No one else will have access to your server and you can be positive that you are secure.

Unlike shared hosting, Virtual Dedicated Server performs and executes exactly like an isolated stand-alone server.

You want to be sure that you will get the resources purchased

The performance of a dedicated server is far superior to that of shared hosting. This is due in large part to the fact that you are not sharing your processor power, memory, or disk space with other sites using the same server. Since you don't have to worry about the server being slowed down, overrun with traffic, or crashed by another site, a dedicated server is more reliable than a shared server.

The allocation of system resources between the VDS hosted on a single physical server is done in a dynamic way, its unique algorithm ensuring an uninterrupted operation of all the VDS, regardless of the operation and demand for system resources of each individual VDS.

Virtual Private Servers (VDS / VPS) are the perfect solution for projects that require security, flexibility and scalability but do not require the full resources of a dedicated server. Your miniVDS Virtual Private Server will be guaranteed such resources as CPU, Memory (RAM), Disk Space. We provide performance guarantee to your VPS, so that no matter what other VPSs are doing, your VPS environment will continue to receive guaranteed amount of CPU, Memory and network resources.
