What is VPS Hosting?
VPS is a method of dividing a LARGE physical server into multiple servers with each having the appearance and capabilities of virtually running on its own dedicated machine. Each virtual server can run its own operating system, and each server can be independently rebooted and accessed using full root or administrative priviledges. The servers also offer a full clustered capacity so each server is guranteed resources.

Why VPS Hosting?
Need more than shared hosting has to offer or maybe want to move all your windows servers in your office to virtual servers in a secure data center with full redundancy? Or simply put a dedicated service is out of your budget for your small dns server? Well you will have the same performance as a stand-alone server. Not only will the VPS provide you with dedicated server level performance, but you will also have root access and guaranteed resources for broader projects.

Virtualization is the future of hosting. It eliminates the restrictions of shared web hosting, and the expense and upkeep of dedicated servers. And, it's kinder to the environment by more efficiently utilizing resources.

Fast IO?

Many of our clients seem to pick a vps based off of IO speed. Although this is a good rule of thumb you should really think what your VPS is being used for. When setting up a RAID and using different stripe sizes the hosting company is able to make their IO faster but this doesn't mean its better. For example we can setup raid 10 with 12 drives at a 64K stripe size and exceed 250MB/s, when setting a larger stripe size we can exceed 400MB/s. We have a rule of thumb, all our strip sizes are set at 64K this benefits all clients even if your running a database server who will typically write smaller files or if your transfering larger files. There is a happy medium for performance, production and stability. And yes we found it... In order of IO VMWare > OpenVZ > Xen.
