Web Hosting

All ranges on the same platform, from low-level shared to medium-power virtual server to powerful dedicated servers – seamless scaling up in the same safe virtual private server .

Server consolidation

Put together your existing servers and use more powerful and reliable hardware.

Increase availability

Keep an up-to-date copy of your virtual private server on another server, and start it in seconds in case of failure

Education

Each student gets its own virtual server with root access

Testing

Safe experimentation on the machine that runs another services

Clean sandbox

Install each service in its own freshly created Virtual Private Server, and you will never have to resolve dependency problems.

Multiversioning

Keep “snapshots” of the project you are working on and be able to switch back and forth in seconds

Improve network services security

Run each server in its own Virtual Private Server. If the application has a security hole, only this particular virtual private server will be compromised, never the whole system.
