How it Works

Virtual private servers are made possible through the use of virtualisation technology which enables a physical servers resources to be split across several virtual servers. The server has its own installation of the operating system for your exclusive use, the difference being that the instance of the operating system shares she same physical server hardware with other instances.

What this means is that each of these virtual servers exists logically in isolation, being compartmentalised in such a way that none of the virtual servers sharing a physical server are aware of the presence of one another. This allows you to benefit from advanced features only available in a virtualised environment such as, a choice of operating systems, snapshotting capabilities and unlimited bandwidth, to name just a few.

The beauty of virtualisation is that if at any given time your processing, memory or storage requirements change then you can scale your server momentarily to reflect your new requirements.
