This form of hosting is also commonly referred to as a "Virtual Server" or "Bulk Hosting" because you purchase a set number of domains hosting accounts, or a set amount of disk space and bandwidth, and can manage it yourself without the assistance of an administrator. This gives you most of the control you would have if you had your own "Dedicated Server" without the high setup fees, and ongoing costs of maintaining your own equipment.

many as the hardware allows, which depends on the amount of available RAM, disk, and system resources—or up to 64 virtual machines.

A virtual server is a system in which a single machine will resolve multiple IP addresses. This allows a single machine to act as many separate systems. The design of Netsongs Virtual Server System is to maximize customer's use, control, and design of their own site. This is quite unlike "Virtual Hosting", such as Apache and others, which merely spoofs the domain name of a company to point to a subdirectory of a server controlled by someone else.

Each virtual private server looks and behaves exactly like a real dedicated server system, complete with your own set of unix init scripts, user logins, system processes, file-systems with unlimited root access, and custom application software such as the apache web server. VPS servers provide the highest level of security just like a dedicated server, complete with customizable firewall protection and secure isolated disk space.

A.) New accounts for first time customers typically take one to two business days while we verify billing information and secure agreements.

A Virtual Server is defined as a service port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP. For example, if you have an FTP Server at 205.20.45.34 and a Web server at 205.20.45.35, then you need to specify the virtual server in the mapping table.

The term "Virtual Server" stems from the idea of subdividing one Physical Machine into multiple and separate "virtual" systems. When one single machine can host multiple Virtual Servers, the cost of each individual Virtual Server is significantly less than the cost of a dedicated server without sacrificing performance, flexibility, and power. Blue Reef has designed its Virtual Server System to maximize customers' use, control, and design of their own web sites.

Blue Reef STRONGLY recommends that you pay for your Virtual Server with a credit card. Payment with a credit card will ensure that your account is not deactivated due to lost mail or other problems. Please update Blue Reef with your credit card information if you receive a new credit card number and/or expiration date. Problems may arise with your account if your card expires. There is a reactivation charge of $50 for accounts deactivated because of nonpayment.

Virtual Utilization % represents the percent of virtual memory that is currently being used by the host.

One virtual system? is ABT's phrase to describe the skillful integration of multiple, disparate systems which actually share information: It is one system composed of many. ABT's technology makes one virtual system a reality by integrating all of a customer's software applications into a single desktop view, using a common database and a single point of access. The ABT system generates a layer of communication between software programs, even if they do not share a common language.

This message will be displayed if EarthNow! is unable to connect to the server at USGS EROS. This could be caused by a network error between your personal computer and the server at EROS or if too many users are connected to EarthNow! simultaneously.

We already have our own custom web stats apps, so what we really need is the raw log files and not just summaries.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) Technology is a new technology based on the concept of partitions on mainframes and advanced resource scheduling to divide computers into many virtually isolated servers. A VPS simply put is, a server that runs inside another server. VPS's are now offered as an advanced web hosting platform providing superior performance, security and cost savings over standard 'shared hosting' options of the past. Each VPS acts like a dedicated server but shares hardware.

There are usually 60-80 Virtual Servers configured on each physical server. The load on each physical server is closely monitored and load balancing is employed to insure that the resources on one server are not unfairly taxed by a single Virtual Server.

Servers A, B, and C each have a $50 setup fee, as do our Solaris Servers. Server M has a $100 setup fee and includes SSL. When paying by credit card, the setup fee will automatically be charged to your card when the Server is first setup. When paying by check, order processing begins upon receipt of the setup fee and a deposit equivalent to the cost of one month of service.
