An Overview of Your Virtualized Host
What is a Virtualized Host
A Virtualized Host is the term we use to define our very flexible web hosting servers.
What does it consist of?
Our Virtualized Host consists of a light version of Ubuntu with full access to the terminal.
The host comes pre-installed with Apache2, sftpd, Python and sshd for easy uploading and management of your website.
Additonally a basic website that can be edited without coding skills and file uploader are installed by default.
What does it mean?
- You can use the default website builder to make your own website with ease
- You will be fully able to run commands and install what you need through SSH
- You can upload files through the default file uploader or through SFTP
Technical Limitations
For full transparency it is important that the limitations of our hosting services are defined.
The dedicated virtualized host provided is not a VPS though it may have many of the features of a full machine.
Persistence of stored files on the machine is limited to specific root directories and can not be changed.
This is not restriction but instead technical limitations. For More information on this please contact us.
These limitations should not hinder the persistence for website files, configuration or for installed tools.
Ports accessible on the host are also limited not by choice but by technical obstacle of what we can provide to each host.
Additonal ports beyond the default ones provided can be requested before host creation. Read More Here
Additonally there are minor differences from that of the virtualized host that we provide and a full fleged machine running Ubuntu.
This can result in the need for extra attention to configuration of software.
* For a typical small business website you will not need to be concerned of this section.
