We used to accept that servers will go down during heavy resource spikes and you deal with it by being responsive. CloudLinux does it better by isolating and controlling resource spikes to prevent entire servers going down. That means less support calls and less time tracking down and suspending accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Cloud Server?

A Cloud server is a server that runs on a software layer such as KVM or XEN. This provides the resources that the virtual server uses and is what makes it much easier to scale. Resources can be added or removed without the need to physically touch the hardware host. Cloud Servers can also be migrated to new hardware hosts while still running, so makes for good redundancy. A cloud server can run any of a number of operating systems and does not rely on the host for kernal operations.

What are the advantages of a Cloud Server?

Operational expenses are reduced with cloud computing. You pay only for what you use; costs are directly proportional to your requirements. Also, the cost of setting up the system is less. Cloud computing does not need businesses to get additional hardware or software. Moreover, the implementation is done remotely. With cloud computing, businesses do not need to set up a team to handle system updates and back-ups. Automation is one of the biggest attractions of this technology.

What hardware does your Cloud Servers run on?

VpsCity's hardware nodes run on HP and Dell Enterprise Servers with 8 or 16 core Intel Xeon E5 processors and SSD RAID hardware arrays. SSD RAID provides disk I/O in excess of 1.2GB/s performance. Each hardware node contains up to 1TB of memory.

Will my Cloud Server be backed up?

If you require your Cloud Server to be backed up, we strongly urge you to subscribe to the service during the checkout process. We offer an extremely customisable backup program that is very affordable.

What operating systems do you support?

Cloud Servers are full virtualisation servers so you are able to install most operating systems from windows to BSD. Think of Cloud Servers as dedicated servers with some added benefits.

How long does it take to setup your Cloud Servers?

After you have ordered your Cloud Server and paid for it, it will be running within 5 minutes ready for your use.

What is the difference between container based virtualisation and hypervisor virtualisation?

Hypervisor virtualisation mechanism emulates the hardware, you can run any operating system on top of any other, Windows on Linux, or the other way around. Both the guest operating system and the host operating system run with their own kernel.
Containers are the products of operating system virtualisation. They provide a lightweight virtual environment that groups and isolates a set of processes and resources such as memory, CPU, disk, etc., from the host and any other containers.

What software can I install on your Cloud Servers?

As Cloud Servers operate like real bare metal servers there are no limitations to the applications that can be installed. The Cloud Server has full kernel level access and is not limited in any way, however some the following content is prohibited on our Cloud Servers: pirated software, hacking sites programs or archives, distribution of music files or any other material in which the user does not own the copyright, any other material deemed illegal by South Africa law.

Are game servers allowed?

Due to the nature of game servers and the unfortunate ability they have to attract DoS attacks, we unfortunately do not allow them on our network. We provide a predominant corporate network with many businesses running services and can not afford the disruption that DoS attacks bring due to gaming servers.
