Virtual Private Servers / VPS

Virtualization is one of the leading technology trends in the world today and for good reason, it is estimated that between 50-70% of server resources go unused on a regular basis. XLHost's virtual private servers (VPS) are similar to dedicated servers in that they allow full root/administrator access and isolation. The difference is that the system hardware (CPU, RAM, and DISK) is shared across multiple independent virtualized environments. Although the (CPU, RAM, DISK) is technically shared (pooled), slices are dedicated to each XLHost virtual private server customer. XLHost's virtual private server hardware nodes are all multi-core, multi-processor servers with redundant (RAID) storage. XLHost is pleased to partner with Parallels (formally SWsoft) to deliver Windows 2003 based virtual private servers.

Some advantages virtual private servers (VPS) have over dedicated servers are cost, ease of migration, backup, and offline management. Due to the nature of virtual private servers, one can very easily migrate from a virtual private server to a dedicated server, backup their virtual private server, or even reboot it using the Virtuozzo Power Panels web interface. XLHost recommends a virtual private server to any organization or individual who does not require the performance and complete control of a dedicated server. Due to the shared nature of a VPS platform, XLHost does not recommend virtual private servers to any organization or individual who would not be able to sustain downtime due to updates/reboots of the hardware platform.
