Benefits of Virtual Servers
The practice of partitioning a single server so that it appeared as multiple servers was common practice in the days of mainframe computers, but has seen a resurgence lately with the development of virtualization software and faster low cost processors. There are numerous benefits of virtualization.

1. Faster Servers
Our typical Virtual Servers run a minimum of 2 Intel Quad-Core processors. Individual VPS CPU usage is not based on a fixed quantity but rather on VPS demand. Therefore, any VPS can utilize as much CPU time as is available.
2. More Memory (RAM)
Our typical Virtual Servers are loaded with 32GB ram. Even though an given VPS might be alloted only 1GB, it can utilize as much ram that is available on the server. This means that your applications can typically burst to 4-8GB of ram usage even though your are only paying for 1GB.
3. Instantly Upgradable
VPS servers can be modified instanly. If you need more ram, more hard drive space, or more CPU utilization, we can easily increase (or decrease) your resources at any time, without a reboot.
4. 100% Backup
Unlike dedicated servers that cannot backup many files within the operating system, virtual servers can be completely backed up, every file, including the operating system. You have access to any backups through your VPS control panel.
5. VPS Portability
VPS servers can be moved from one hardware node to another with just a couple of mouse clicks. If a server is failing or you need more power, we can quickly and easily move your VPS to another server with virtually no downtime.
6. Reconfigurable
Changed your mind and decided your really needed a 40GB C drive instead of a 20GB C Drive? No problem, we can easily change the size of any drive partion, or create a new one, instantly. No shut down or reboot required.
7. Quick Setup
Because a complete operation system install is not required and no hard drive format is necessary, VPS servers can be set up in minutes rather than hours.
8. Energy Savings
VPS servers are much more energy efficient that a typical dedicated server. Because numerous servers can run on one hardware node, VPS servers consume far less energy than an equal quantity of dedicated servers.
9. Migrate to Dedicated
Dedicated servers can be easily migrated to virtual servers. In fact, we can migrate any Windows 2003 dedicated server to a virtual server with just a few mouse clicks.
10. Lower Cost
Most importanly, Virtual Private Servers give you all of the benefits of a dedicated server with a significantly lower cost.
