What is a Virtual Dedicated Server?

Virtual dedicated servers can be either Windows or Unix environment. The VDS administrator is the root or administrator of his/her system, able to perform the whole range of system configuration and administration tasks, save the hardware management. A virtual dedicated server gives many of the advantages of a dedicated server, at a much lower price.

You may compile and install on your VDS your own software. It is your VDS disk space that is used to host the software you have installed.

If required, you may host multiple web sites and domains in your VDS server space. Each VDS can have one or more IP addresses.

Certain restrictions exist as to the degree of utilization of system resources, namely of the memory and of the processor time. The allocation of system resources between the VDS hosted on a single physical server is done in a dynamic way, its unique algorithm ensuring an uninterrupted operation of all the VDS, regardless of the operation and demand for system resources of each individual VDS.

With VDS hosting, Multibase provides and manages the hardware and basic server setup.
