With our new virtualisation servers, we are able to offer turnkey virtual appliances. What is a virtual appliance? It’ s a Virtual Private Server preinstalled with your application of choice, configured and ready to run with your content. The advantage of this type of virtual appliance is that it’s a custom version of Linux stripped of all the unnecessary components and all that is left is only what is needed to run your application. The advantage over shared hosting is that you will have a dedicated resources of a complete operating system running only for your application. It’s faster and you get better response.
