What is a Virtual Private Server?
Moving from a standard web hosting account to a Virtual Private Server is like moving from public transport to your own chauffer driven limo; you have increased privacy, increased security and increased performance.

If you have outgrown the realms of shared hosting, but are not yet ready to front the cost of your own dedicated server, then our VPS plans couldn't be more perfect.

How do VPSs work?
VPSs are based on the concept of partitions on mainframes that allow dozens of divisions to run multiple applications on the same server with advanced resource scheduling. In short, Virtual Private Server technology enables one physical server to house several Virtual Environments which behave exactly like an isolated stand-alone server.

Each VPS has its own IP addresses, ports, routing rules and system configuration files for both system and application software, giving you total control. You can choose your own flavor of Linux, install your choice of control panel, test scripts under development without risking bringing every other Virtual Envronments to a grinding halt and lots more besides...

Unparallelled Performance
Our VPS mainframe servers are incredibly powerful, offering you a level of power shared web hosting or low end dedicated servers simply cannot parallel at very affordable prices. The VPS mainframe servers, backup systems and software amount to several thousand dollars - yet we make all this available to you from under $50 per month!

Dell Dual Intel Xeon 3.0GHz Processors with HyperThreading
8GB ECC Registered RAM
6 x 73GB 320mbps HotSwap SCSI Hard Drives utilizing RAID5 Technology
Off Server Daily Backup

Many other VPS providers will not utilize such high specification servers, meaning that the quality of service you receive may be less than you should expect.

Proven Technology
We utilize the leading VPS platform, Virtuozzo from SW-Soft, to power our Virtual Private Servers. No other VPS platform is as complete, powerful, secure or efficient, so you can be confident that when you choose a Kualo VPS solution, you are partnering with the best.

Will I be able to cope with the transition from shared hosting?
We'll work to make the transition from shared hosting as smooth as possible. If you do not want the hassle of administering your own VPS, let our qualified technicians take care of it for you with our Full-Serv VPS plans, which are as managed as our shared hosting plans. Should you want to start to dip your feet into the world of server administration, however, our Self-Serv VPS plans provide full root access - but don't fear, our admins are always on hand should you ever get stuck.
