Each
VPS client has full root access, can reboot the server and
services, install and upgrade software. Other than with reseller
hosting (see comparision table below)
the VPS performance is not effected by any abuse of other
reseller accounts and domains elsewhere on the server: minimum
resources allocated to your VPS are guaranteed and not shared.
We presently offer VPS servers with CentOS
(same as RedHat Enterprise Linux) as plain Linux server, and
pre-installed and licensed with cPanel/WHM or DirectAdmin
control panels.
Server locations: USA and Germany, your choice!
