Q. Do you offer Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Virtual Private Servers (VPS) ?

Can I run a game server on VPS or Dedicated Server ?

For hosting game servers we recommend using a Dedicated Server, VPS hosting is not recommended for a game server since the processor power and memory allocations for a VPS are less compared to a single Physical dedicated server. If you wish to test the game server application on a VPS then you can consider our VPS Enterprise for a month but we do not provide support for game server web hosting on a VPS.

You can operate the dedicated server as a game server. We will provide you the dedicated server, and will install the operating system, if you would like to install game server software on it then you can of course do so. You have full access to the game server to install what you like. We do provide assistance with game server installations at no additional cost for Dedicated Server clients.

WebHosting UK Server Network Speed

Every individual dedicated server gets a 100 Mbps connection. A choice between 10 Mbps and 1 Gbps is also available for dedicated server customers. Our shared & reseller web hosting servers have a direct link to one of the many ethernet gigabit backbone connections within the datacenter facility. The semi-dedicated and vps hardware nodes are all connected to independent 100 Mbps lines. The whole Network Operations Center / Datacenter has multiple lines of 15 Gbps from almost every Tier 1 provider. This not only gives us redundancy, but it also acts as a good buffer in times of a sudden spurt in bandwidth requirements. Leaving aside any unforeseen circumstances or during times when we face nature’s fury, there are no problems of connectivity which you would have to put up with.

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.

Here are a few reasons why one should signup for a Web Hosting UK VPS

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.
