Virtual Private Servers
Xen Based Virtual Machines

A virtual private server (also referred to as a virtual dedicated server or a virtual server, and abbreviated VPS or VDS) is a method of partitioning one physical server computer into multiple servers that each has the appearance and capabilities of running on its own dedicated machine. Each virtual server can run its own full-fledged operating system, and each server can be independently rebooted.

Goscomb Technologies offers a number of Xen based VPS packages on dedicated hardware on our multihomed BGP4 network in the London Docklands. Xen does not allow over-selling of system resources and as such you are guaranteed both the RAM and storage you are paying for at all times. You are free to reboot and access your VPS via the virtual serial console at any point in time via a customised shell system.

Simply put, the main advantages of having your own VPS (or Virtual Server) over standard shared hosting are as follows -

• Full root/admin access, allowing full control over your system;
• Guaranteed system performance - You have dedicated system resources that another user cannot access;
• Security - You are the only one with access to your virtual server;
• Complete control over your own firewall;
• Install your own services & applications;
• Manage access with full user control;
• Your own static IP - this allows you more control over any services you host.
