Looking for something bigger? We also offer hybrid plans.
We also offer OpenVZ plans and a guide to help you find out which is best for you.
Guaranteed Memory
We do not over-subscribe our memory, we ensure there is enough physical RAM to cover the guaranteed memory for every running unit. In the event of a machine failure it might be necessary for an unaffected host to run additional units, in which case all units might be subject to swapping until we effect repairs. Even so all guaranteed memory can still be allocated, and performance will be restored as soon as a replacement host has been brought online.
Swap Space
We provide you with disk swap space in a separate partition, for times when your system is under peak load and requires more memory than the basic amount of RAM. This can degrade performance but allows you peace of mind that your system is unlikely to run out of memory. You should choose a plan with enough RAM to cover your normal usage, and swap should only occasionally be needed.
Swap space is taken out of the total disk space allocation. 2 x RAM is considered a fairly standard amount of swap to have, but we can set aside more or less swap space if you would prefer.
Disk Space
We measure disk space in true SI gigabytes, as is standard practice with hard drive equipment. So with a 15GB allocation, you get 15,000,000,000 bytes.
Stay Connected
When trying to create a successful site the last thing you want to worry about is being too successful. Similarly offsite backups are useless if you are too constrained by your traffic limit to actually use them. This is why we operate a traffic policy designed to keep you connected, and with no additional data fees.
The traffic limit that comes as part of each plan is the total amount of data per month that can be sent or received using all the available bandwidth. Should this limit be reached the connection will be automatically throttled to 128kbit/s for the rest of the month. This way you never lose connectivity, and you never get an unexpected bill.
IP Addresses
By default, we give out one IP address per server since this is adequate for most purposes and IP addresses are a scarce resource. However, you can order more.
If you decide later on that you would like to use more IP addresses than originally planned we can usually accommodate this, however, it may be necessary to restart your server.
Please note that as a provider we have a responsibility to conserve IPv4 space. If you are requesting more than one IP address per VPS, you must supply a reasonable justification for doing so.
