Q. What exactly virtual private servers (VPS) means?

Virtual Private Server (VPS) technology presents multiple isolated server environments on a single physical server. VPS allows multiple customers to share the expense of hardware and network connections without sacrificing privacy, performance or preference. Each VPS is completely independent from each other and it can be rebooted independently and has its own root/administrator access. VPS provides the flexibility to add and change modules and install your own software.

Q. What is the contention ratio of your Virtual Private Servers (VPS) Hosting ?

Ans: The contention ratio is the amount of vps users we put on the same vps node. Some vps web hosting providers practice the nasty habit of overselling; that is, creating as many vps hosting accounts onto the same vps node as possible and praying that they don’t all use their dedicated resources at the same time. That is not what we do. Even if all the vps hosting users on one of our VPS nodes were to use 100% of their vps hosting resources simultaneously, there would be enough to go around with plenty to spare. You can rest assured that your vps hosting account will always be stable and unaffected by the actions of any other Webhosting UK VPS hosting user. We make sure that each VPS receives its guaranteed amount of resources.

What is guaranteed RAM?

Guaranteed RAM is not a limit, but a minimum availability of RAM for your VPS. No matter how much RAM other VPS’s use, this amount is available to you at all times.

What do you mean by ‘burst RAM’?

Bursting means that while you are always guaranteed a certain amount of system resources, far more is available on each box than simply these guarantees. Hence, should you require your loads to spike higher than your guarantees, as long as the resources are available on the box at that time, you can use them, up to your ‘burst’ level.

The burst allotment is not the same thing as your resource guarantee. You cannot count on constant, sustained utilization of your burst resources. If your VPS constantly requires greater resources than your package guarantees, then you must upgrade to the higher VPS or Dedicated server plan.

Note:- WebHosting.uk.com provides only Guaranteed RAM with all the VPS hosting plans. Burstable RAM feature is not supported with any of our VPS hosting plans.
