Virtual
Servers
A Virtual Private Server or VPS (also referred to as a Virtual Dedicated Server and VDS) is the practise of
virtually splitting a physical ‘node’ server into multiple ‘guest’ servers to give efficient, dedicated
resources and control to those who do not yet require an entire Dedicated Server.
A RackSRV VPS or VDS is different to others as each VPS has its own dedicated CPU rather than a CPU quota which
is the inferior industry standard. This means that each VPS on the same node can burst to 100% CPU without being
queued or affecting another client’s performance.
Our automated infrastructure will have your VPS / VDS online within minutes of ordering due to the flexibility of
OpenVZ technology and the unparalleled grunt of Intel’s latest generation of Core i7 processors in all of our
UK based, gigabit server nodes.
VPS
Management
As standard our UK Virtual Private Servers are supplied as un-managed. RackSRV will install a fresh and up-to-date
O/S template of your choice, configure you're user account and then hand over full admin access for you to manage you're hosting
server entirely as you wish (whilst keeping within our ToS).
If you would prefer the peace of mind that one of our experienced Linux or Windows engineers is proactively
managing your VPS then we can provide you with a package to suite your needs whether it be simply rolling
out O/S and security updates or complete management including application installations, performance monitoring and
data backups. Please contact us for a bespoke management quotation.
Operating
Systems
RackSRV currently utilise OpenVZ in our VPS platform which only has support for Linux guests. We have pre-built
templates for the following Linux Distributions which we can setup free of charge although some templates will require
a license to utilise fully (cPanel and DirectAdmin templates):
Centos Linux 5.x (32/64bit)
Debian Linux 5.x (32/64bit)
Ubuntu Linux 9.x (32/64bit)
In the very near future we will also be adding support for XEN containers which will allow us to offer Windows VPS templates too:
Win2k3/2k8 Web Edition - Extra £10 /month
Win2k3/2k8 Std Edition - Extra £15 /month
If you require an O/S which is not listed above then please contact us as we may still be able to help!
