What you get with a Virtual Dedicated Server

A Virtual Dedicated Server acts just like a real dedicated server, although in some ways it is even more convenient. You can connect with VNC to the console to install your chosen Linux distribution - in graphical mode - just as if you were sitting in front of it. Once installed, you can log in to your server as root (through VNC or by SSH) and configure whatever services and users you need. You take full control of (and responsibility for) setting up the machine, though we can offer some advice; if you need a server preconfigured with specific installed packages, please email us for a quote.

Our Virtual Dedicated Servers also come with our unique admin console. This allows you to reboot and "power cycle" your server, load different CD images into the virtual CDROM drive and set credentials for VNC access.

What's behind it?

Our virtual server are provided using the KVM / qemu virtualization system. The "host servers" are located in our facilities in Telecity in London's Docklands, ensuring excellent connectivity and very extensive UPS coverage.
