If you're looking into file hosting or web hosting services for your organisation, you might be considering a Cloud VPS service. A VPS is a "Virtual Private Server" and could be the best way for you to resolve all of your hosting needs. Read on to find out more about using a Cloud VPS and what it can do for your business.
When you have a thorough understanding of each of the components of a Cloud VPS, it's easier to establish exactly what a Cloud VPS is and what is does. The aspects of a Cloud VPS are:
Full protection from DDoS attacks on your VPS Technical support in the event of an error Both Windows and Linux support Flexible storage, supporting your business as you grow
Ordering a Cloud VPS service from our team means that you can trust in your Cloud VPS to give you all of the performance you need whenever you need it, all at an affordable price.
We know that no two businesses are exactly the same. An insurance company will have different storage needs from a media hosting business, while a web design company will have different hosting needs to a plumber.
This sheer range of businesses means that we are happy to offer tailored packages, designed to suit the specific requirements of your company. Our plans have a number of differences, including:
Server management is one of the most difficult parts of IT infrastructure management. Rather than relying on systems such as command prompt to keep your information managed, with Hostworld, you can make use of a control panel.
We can provide our users with scaled licences for either cPanel & WHM or DirectAdmin, so your technical support staff can keep all of your institution's data under control, with automated server updates retaining its security. Website management is also significantly easier, with site hosting features partially automating the setup process.
cPanel & WHM is the industry leading control panel of choice amongst many hosting providers. We are pleased to offer this feature-rich yet easy to use control panel straight out of the box for our VPS Hosting customers. Upon ordering your VPS plan simply select the number of cPanel accounts you want to license and our automated provisioning system will install cPanel for you. cPanel takes the pain out of running a server. It includes automatic updates and has an intuitive control panel that is packed with fantastic features.
DirectAdmin is web hosting control panel software, similar to cPanel, that lets you administer your web site and hosting options using a graphical, web-based interface. You can manage an unlimited number of websites, email accounts, etc. using a DirectAdmin control panel. DirectAdmin automates tasks so that web servers can be easily shared and give web site owners a way to quickly set-up and manage web sites. You can order a DirectAdmin licence when you order your VPS plan and we include the installation instructions within your welcome email.
