What is a VPS ?
VPS stands for Virtual Private Servers. VPS is an isolated server that
shares the hardware of a single physical server, however performs like
a stand-alone server where you can run your own applications, it can
be rebooted independently, has its own root access, ip's, users, memory,
processes, ports, etc. Thus it servers as a good substitute for reseller
hosting and for dedicated server. Our cost for customers in Pakistan
are such that it makes it a good choice to go for a vps server than a
dedicated server.
What are the advantages
of a VPS ?
Our VPS Hosting offers in Pakistan

and of a managed dedicated server
at much lower cost. You have
full control of your VPS including

own applications not viable on a
shared hosting environment. Since
a VPS is an isolated hosting environment
it allows you more freedom to run
scripts that aren't allowed on a
shared hosting environment such as
sending out a mailing list and since
you get your own mail server you
don't have to worry about other users
blacklisting the mail server ip,
it allows you to create reseller
accounts if you are a reseller, and
more. All at very low price.
What is the difference
between a VPS and shared hosting?
VPS is an isolated environment with your own resources whereas in a shared
hosting environment the server resources are shared among all accounts
on the server. In a shared environment you are restricted to use the features
enabled by your provider whereas in a virtual isolated private environment
you are free to disable/enable features suitable for your web site.
What is guaranteed and burst
memory (RAM) ?
Guaranteed memory is the amount of memory allocated to your VPS which you
can use up to at any time. Burst allows your VPS to use more than your
guaranteed memory as long as the memory is available to use up to the burst
limit.
