Virtual Private Server VPS
Virtual Private Servers come close to the performance of a dedicated server, but the system is actually a semi-shared environment. This type of system uses the ‘virtualization’ technology that lets several different servers exist on one actual machine. This means each user has root admin access to their environment and that environment is completely separate from any other users on the same server. Think of it as renting out a whole floor in the office building.
Dedicated Server
Dedicated servers can be a great way to setup a customized applications using your choice of a variety of Operating Systems and hardware choices for optimal performance. You are in complete control of your resources.
Colocated Server
This is just like dedicated hosting only you bring your own server. You provide the server and we will host it, and optionally manage it for you. We provide you with an IP address, data connectivity and rack space.
