coming soon: the Dedicated Containers
Posted by admin under: announcements .
Today, we have setup the first beta server(s) for this new type of web hosting, the Dedicated Containers are our virtual private web servers plans.
For who is not familiar with such things, Virtual Private Servers or VPS is large physical server divided into smaller servers, each server is having a full operating system and resources including CPU, RAM and disk I/O.
Every VPS owner have full access to configure server software even reboot his own VPS without affecting other VPS owners.
Pros of VPS:
- flexible, you can do whatever you want whenever you want with your server.
- have Guaranteed resources, your website’ need of RAM and disk are dedicated.
Cons of VPS:
- its a full server, so you need good experience to deal with it, secure it and keep your operation system up to date.
- For hosts to keep price down, the resources allowed for each VPS usually is small, imagine giving 256MB of RAM to run HTTP, MySQL, Email, cpanel, ..etc. such non optimized VPS may end with less performance than our shared hosting accounts.
So we decided to make it Fully Managed Containers + guaranteed RAM from 512MB + a lot of hardware and software optimization, our initial tests show that single container can beat low cost dedicated server .. more good news on the way.
