Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting

VPS Cloud Hosting with CloudSigma

Virtual Private Server hosting is designed to give a much greater level of control over your server compared with shared hosting. CloudSigma offers the cloud computing equivalent of VPS hosting in the form of its unique cloud servers that don't share software resources at all.

Choose high performance cloud servers and leave traditional Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting and dedicated server hosting in the past. Traditional VPS hosting slices up larger dedicated physical servers and shares them between users. VPS providers use technologies such as Virtuozzo to isolate multiple users on the same physical server from each another whilst running a single shared instance of the operating system. By contrast, our next generation KVM technology enables every user to run their own isolated copy of the operating system they choose, providing an open choice of operating systems, deeper configurability, higher performance, stronger isolation and better security guarantees.

With our unique cloud server hosting you keep the best aspects of virtual private server hosting and combine them with the many advantages of cloud computing. Choose between both Linux cloud hosting and Windows cloud hosting. Hosting resellers can use leading packages such as Plesk and CPanel to build scalable hosting solutions.

Fully Independent Virtual Servers

Unlike traditional VPS hosting, with CloudSigma your cloud server is fully independent of other users. With no shared software resources you are able to completely customise the software you run on your server and its networking.

Free Choice of Operating System

With a cloud server you are able to install and run any operating system that works on standard PC hardware as well as whatever applications you wish. Windows or any version of Linux, its up to you and are able to run and compile custom kernels also.

Full Flexibility of Server Size

With a virtual private server you have only a limited choice of sizes. With a cloud server you can change its size instantly, increasing and decreasing your server's size as your needs change over time.

High Availability as Standard

All our cloud servers are hosted on highly redundant and resilient infrastructure. Whatever the size of your server with CloudSigma, you'll be benefiting from dual power, multiple gigabit networking and large burstable outside IP connectivity. Such infrastructure is not economic or used for virtual private server hosting.

100% Service Level Agreement with x50 Compensation

Have peace of mind with a 100% Service Level Agreement (SLA) that includes a x50 compensation rate for any qualifying downtime. Its CloudSigma's responsibility to maintain infrastructure and ensure availability. Maintaining infrastructure is what we do and part of our core business letting you concentrate on your core business and serving your customers better.
