leverage a pioneering implementation of OpenStack
cloud technology, allowing us to set a new standard

cared to solve.
What is VPS?
People often need more power for their websites or
they need the freedom to customize configurations
and software. This usually requires an independent
server, which can be expensive and difficult to
manage. Virtual private servers divide resources
between several users in a way that applies the cost
benefits of a shared server while offering perks of
performance and control normally unique to
dedicated servers.
Who uses VPS?
• Anyone requiring the ultimate in site performance
• Users hosting sites with medium to high levels
of traffic
• Those desiring additional flexibility and root access
• Anyone wanting dedicated power with a
managed service
• Those needing flexibility to increase server
resources over time
