VPS technology creates isolated, secure virtual environments (sometimes referred to as a sandbox) on a single physical server. VPS technology enables better server utilization and ensures applications do not conflict. Your VPS account performs and executes your requests like a stand–alone server.

You can reboot your VPS account independently and configure root access, users, files, applications, system libraries, and configuration files. Your VPS account behaves as a stand–alone Linux server. It uses standard startup scripts and software from multiple vendors.

You can change any configuration file and you can install additional software. The file system and processes are fully isolated from any other account. Your VPS account includes its own IP address. Traffic snooping is not possible. FairShare resource management controls the amount of resources available to your account. This enables the quality of service to meet the service level agreements associated with your account.
