Q. Is it OK to run Tomcat on my VPS?

Ans: You can have us install Tomcat on your VPS however do take note that Tomcat and Java application takes up all available RAM and CPU resources and in almost any virtual environment, potentially making your VPS quite slow. Your experience with your VPS account may not be pleasant as a result of this. So, we recommend running Tomcat on a Dedicated Server .

Q. Can I host as many accounts as I want on my VPS?

Ans: The short answer is yes, but the long answer is a bit more complex. If you choose to use a control panel, you will be granted an unlimited software license and can set up as many accounts as you wish. However, that does not mean that every package has the physical resources capable of hosting infinite accounts. We grant you enough resources to set up an ample number of accounts at each package level, but you will find that once you reach a certain level, you will require more resources in order to add further accounts. The types of resources you need will depend on the types of websites you are hosting, and the individual resource requirements of those sites. Because of this, it is difficult to arrive at a specific number of sites you can expect to host. That being said, if an upgrade is ever required, we make the process quick and easy.

Q. What are the default index files on the web servers?

Ans: Depending on the web hosting plan and hosting platform the following files are used:
