Disk-Space: - The amount of allocated storage you are given on your VPS is called disk space (this is a small part of the hard-drive on the VPS). This enables you to store files, Web pages, email, databases and graphics. Web space is measured in MB (megabytes).

Bandwidth:-While bandwidth and data transfer are somewhat synonymous, the two are typically referred to from unique perspectives. In a nutshell - both have to do with the amount of data that is transferred to and from your VPS either by you uploading files, your visitors viewing pages and downloading files, and your emails if you are using your host for your email service. If someone comes to your web site and downloads a 1MB file, you've just transferred 1MB of data. If 1,000 people download that file than you have transferred 1,000MB or 1GB.

Burstable RAM: - This is a technology supported by SWsoft. Whenever a user needs more RAM than usual and there is a surplus of RAM used by other users on the server, "Burstable RAM" will allow that user to use more RAM for a limited time. If your VPS constantly requires greater resources than your package guarantees, then you would have to quickly upgrade you to a package with greater guaranteed resources. as burstable RAM can only be used for very short periods. Availability of burstable RAM also depends on the amount of free memory on the main node.
(This is given with only Linux - VPS Plans.)

Equal Share CPU: - All VPS' are given a certain portion of CPU as per the package signed up for.  If additional CPU power is required, it will only be available depending on the free CPU on the node. The share depends on the plan you buy. A WinVPS ENTERPRISE would always get more than a WinVPS STARTER.
(This is only given with Windows VPS Plans.)

(iv) All issues on which our technical staff has to seek / await advice from cPanel, SW-Soft, Mail-Enable or the concerned software / application vendor, estimating a time-frame for final resolution wont be possible. It all depends on the response times of the vendor and the severity of the issue which has been forwarded to them.

(i) WebhostingUK provides fully managed VPS services. This includes the hard-ware node, the network, control panels and the software which come with those control panels. The hard-ware node is monitored pro-actively. The support team is not responsible for processes running within individual vps'.  The support team will come into the fray only after the customer contacts the technical support staff.

(ii) WebhostingUK recommends a control panel to manage individual vps'. although customers may opt for a plain VPS (without any control panel).  However, it will be the customer's responsibility to configure user accounts, mail accounts, ftp accounts, websites, DNS and all other such settings which are necessary for the VPS to function. The support team will only do this for customers who have a control panel for their VPS. When a customer purchases a plain VPS, we expect them to be fully aware and have knowledge of configuring their VPS.

(iii) WebhostingUK always recommends that customers use the Virtuozzo Power Panel. This helps customers to perform several administrative tasks like start / stop processes, reboot, repair, backup, process management et.al.

(iv)  WebhostingUK has an intensive fraud detection process. Under this, all customers who signup for a VPS are subject to verification through telephone. We start processing and set-up only after confirming the order received. All VPS' are setup in about 3 hours from the time of the order being verified and confirmed.

(v) WebhostingUK delegates rDNS only for a full subnet of /24. Delegation is not done for a lesser block. Customers may purchase a /24 block at an additional cost.

(vi)  WebhostingUK won’t be responsible for any third-party applications, software, fire-walls and anti-virus programs.  The technical support staff will ONLY install the software for customers. It is the customer's responsibility to configure and run such software, programs, applications etc. The support team will only attempt to trouble-shoot and if possible resolve issues arising out of the usage of such programs, there is no guarantee of a resolution being provided.

The support team will install third-party applications only when they have time to spare after attending to support issues. We give a low priority to third-party software installations.

(vii) The welcome email includes the login details and the IP addresses allocated to the VPS created for the customer. This also includes the Private DNS which are registered for the exclusive use of individual VPS'.

(viii) Incase, a customer wishes to switch from a windows vps to a Linux vps or vice versa, only the website files .i.e. the data present in the Vhosts folder and the public_html folder for the websites. All other files and data will have to be moved by the customer.

(ix) WebhostingUK strongly recommends that customers do not install Service Pack 2 and also that the option for “Automatic Windows Update” is turned off at all times for their Windows VPS. Customers who have a Linux VPS are requested to consult the support staff before running any cPanel or kernel updates. WebhostingUK will not be responsible incase a VPS needs to be recreated owing to the above.
