|About Miniserver™ Virtual Machines|

Easy multiple-site Web hosting with cPanel/WHM

If you are looking for a comprehensive, easy-to-use way to host one or many Web sites with all the trimmings then a Miniserver™ Virtual Machine with cPanel/WHM with Fantastico is exactly what you need, and only costs an extra £7.50/mo.

In combination cPanel/WHM takes away the need for any in-depth sys admin skills and makes hosting multiple client domains, sites, email & databases easy, essentially turning the VM into one big Reseller Web hosting account. You can even use it to give each of your Web hosting clients their own control panel. Here are some of the features:


*Package required will be dependent on resource requirements due to volume/size of traffic.


Operating systems

We now offer Windows 2003 server (standard edition) for an additional £5.00/month with all Minserver™ VMs.
We offer Linux-based operating systems including Debian (our recommendation), Fedora Core at no extra charge. We also offer RedHat Enterprise ES for an additional £19.00/month.

What is a Miniserver™ Virtual Machine?

Using the Miniserver™ technology allows us to divide a single powerful server into many smaller Virtual Machines (VMs) each with its own dedicated resources. Although several Miniserver™ Virtual Machines may exist on one physical server, they are as secure as if they were separate machines on the same network, and the resources are partitioned in such a way that one Virtual Machine's activities cannot negatively affect the others.

Why use a Miniserver™ Virtual Machine

As most ISPs and Web professionals know, web site or email hosting is in fact a very low intensity activity for a server - that is why many cheap web hosting providers are able to squeeze thousands of sites onto one physical machine. However, for a site to perform well, it does needs a powerful machine, but it only needs the resources in short bursts.

That is where a Miniserver™ Virtual Machine comes into its own. You get all the benefits of a powerful servers resources when you need them, but cut the cost by sharing those resources when you are not using them (which is most of the time). As well as those powerful resources, the technology allows us to give you other facilities such as Raid Disk space at no additional cost.

Also, unlike other "virtual private server" or "virtual dedicated server" technologies such as Virtuozzo, vserver or vmware, Miniserver™ technology gives true hardware-level para-virtualisation so you are not sharing resources with other users.

For more information on why Miniserver™ technology is superior to that of the other main-stream products such as Virtuozzo, have a look at your Miniserver™ VM technology page.

Technical support

The prices shown are for self-managed virtual machines. We will look after the host hardware of course, and will provide basic monitoring, but if you need assistance with managing your Miniserver VM™ then you should consider our fully managed SLA.
