Hyper-V Virtual Dedicated Servers |
|
 |
Apps4Rent offers virtual dedicated servers powered by Microsoft’s Hyper-V platform as a superior alternative to dedicated server hosting, shared hosting, or popular VPS hosting such as Virtuozzo. Hyper-V virtual dedicated servers are functionally similar to competing virtualization platforms such as VMware and Citrix Xen. As an added benefit, by using Microsoft’s Hyper-V virtual machine you may also save on some of the licensing costs for windows server license. Each virtual dedicated server performs and behaves exactly like a stand-alone server. |
You can load your choice of operating system, a flavor of linux or a version of windows server software. On top of that you can add applications that you have licensed or are available through open source, customizing and configuring as per your need. Virtual Dedicated Servers occupy the market segment between less powerful Shared Hosting and more expensive Dedicated Server model. A virtual dedicated server offers many of the capabilities and features of dedicated servers, including administrator or root access and dedicated IP addresses, but at a much lower price. Users share a server, but because each virtual dedicated server is effectively isolated from other accounts, the user has full control over the server space. You can pick virtual dedicated server plans that fit your need for RAM, storage, and bandwidth. It is easy to upgrade to more powerful plans on a short notice. If you want to save the time, energy and money it takes to set up, monitor and maintain your Hyper-V virtual dedicated server, check out our Server Administration Plans.
Hyper-V Virtual Dedicated Server vs. Shared hosting and VPS
Hosted Hyper-V virtual machines are superior to shared hosting or to virtual private servers (VPS) because they get their own dedicated operating system and are fully isolated from other virtual machines on the server hardware. As a result, customers no longer have to worry about having their hosted service overrun by another service on the same box.
Hyper-V Virtual Dedicated Server vs. Dedicated Hosting
Hosted virtual machines deliver better availability than dedicated servers because they can be migrated from one server to another with no downtime. Hosted virtual machines are also easier to scale without purchasing additional hardware, and more secure because each virtual machine is completely isolated from the hardware and isolated from other virtual machines.
IT managers choose hosted Hyper-V from Apps4Rent because it delivers performance, security and uptime that is superior to lower-priced dedicated or other VPS hosting, plus 24x7 management and support.
