Virtual Private Servers

Linux Virtual Private Server Hosting is A Premium Solution

While other providers provide infrastructure, and require customers to manage the server themselves or pay extra to have it done, Verio delivers a completely managed VPS Hosting solution including OS and core services management, system and security monitoring and triple data backup. This makes Verio’s VPS Hosting solutions the ideal choice for companies that want to stick to their core business capabilities and leave the technology management to someone else. Our  Philosophy incorporates these key principles:

1. With VPS Hosting You Control the environment:
   • Control file ownership and permissions for all files
   • Stop and start all services
   • Stop and start the entire account/server
   • Create and modify other users, roles, access and permissions
   • Install software and packages on the server
   • Modify or disable core services
   • Run installs from our application portfolio thru virtual root access
   • Modify the system crontab and cronjobs
   • Modify “privileged ports” below 1024
   • Use root access to modify all account services, files, directories, users, programs, software, and configurations,( the root user is the only user who truly has control over the system. All other users have some type of restriction.)
   • Review log files and implement fixes (if the issue is not at the kernel or with the OS)
2. Verio delivers quality services:
   • Proactive server & security monitoring - Verio takes the headache out of managing your website resources. We closely monitor the network and every physical server, paying attention to security vulnerabilities, excessive resource use and other potential issues. This allows us to proactively take action to resolve problems before they even exist. You won’t just get the tools to monitor servers yourself, Verio’s experts do it for you – saving you time and hassles.
   • Three levels of system management
     1. OS: We load security-hardened server software and continually update and patch so you never have to think about it.
     2. Core Services: We optimize server setup with secured and ready-to-use web, mail and ftp servers that are ready for your applications. Plus ongoing upgrades, patches and updates are included.
     3. Triple data backup - Verio provides two fail-safe levels of data backup with no size restrictions, at no extra charge. Plus a third, off-server option is available for an additional fee. This can restore data from earlier dates.
   • Add-on Applications - You continue to save time with our simplified administration tools for easy installation and configuration of many popular apps from our application portfolio.
   • Tons of extras, with no hidden fees
     1. No bandwidth overage charges or limit
     2. No limit or extra charges on email accounts, domain names, or users
     3. No additional charge for control panel and other key applications
