VPS Plans

Each VPS is based on a direct allocation of real, physical hardware; and is fully isolated from all other VPS on the hardware node. Xen "ParaVirtualization" technology allows near-native performance, and you can compile and load your own kernel modules. The kernel itself however, is shared with the host machine.

New orders are setup within 5 minutes of payment, subject to automated fraud screening. Every VPS has access so SolusVM for Reboots, Operating System Reloads and status checking.

Want a free upgrade? Pay for your VPS annually and we will double all of your resources! Just open a ticket after you order.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1) Do you provide custom reverse dns records?
Yes. You can set custom PTR records at any time from within our SolusVM control panel.

2) What support is included with my VPS?
We provide support for hardware issues, network issues and anything relating to the host machine. As an unmanaged provider, this means the rest is down to you. In return you get a professional, rock solid platform, with enterprise-class hardware at unbeatable prices.

If you would like a Managed Xen VPS, please contact our parent company PC Smart Hosting for a quote.

3) Do you allow IRC/Bittorrent/Warez Linking?
We do not allow IRC, Bittorrents or Warez Linking. IRC ports are filtered out on all of our host machines, and any user found to be using their VPS for IRC, Bittorrents, Warez Linking or any other illegal activity will be terminated.

4) How is CPU allocated?
CPU is allocated by Xen's fair-share credit scheduler. Unlike many VPS providers, we believe that CPU should scale with the size of a VPS. Otherwise a VPS with 4GB RAM has the same CPU power as a VPS with 128MB RAM!

Each VPS can burst upto the full speed of the host machine, however larger plans have a larger nubmer of cpu credits, and therefore have access to more CPU power when the host machine is under load.

5) Do I get Burst RAM?
Each Xen VPS has Dedicated RAM and Swap, just like a dedicted server. We do not provide burstable memory. While the concept of burstable memory is good, it often causes instability as it's only available temporarily, and some applications will try to permanently use Burstable memory, which just causes problems.

We accept payments via PayPal, Google Checkout and Credit/Debit cards.
