Introduction to VPS

VPS - Virtual Private Server is a server virtualization technology whereby a physical server is divided into several independent virtual server, with each virtual servers (known as VPS) isolated from the other. Each VPS has its own dedicated resources and operation system which gives user greater stability compared to traditional shared hosting service. VPS gives users the luxury of a dedicated server at a fraction of its cost.

Dedicated Performance

Mainframe-like resource utilization, monitoring and control of hardware fully partitions each VPS. As a result, each VPS has full dedicated-server functionality: root access, ability to install any application or service, manage firewall, and even run different OSs - Red Hat, Debian, Suse, FreeBSD - on the same physical host. At the "root" level, a VPS dedicated server is virtually indistinguishable from a typical dedicated server.

VPS behaves exactly like dedicated server

Has its own processes, users, files and provides full root access
Has its own IP addresses, port numbers, tables, filtering and routing rules
Has its own configuration files for the system and app software
Use own versions of system libraries or modify existing ones
Delete, add, modify any file, including files in /root, and install own application software or custom configure/modify root application software

Why VPS?

Skydio has adopted Plesk Virtuozzo powered VPS technology for our high quality server. Our VPS services offer a good balance between total control (root access privilege) and a tight budget. Having a VPS account is just like operating a dedicated server. Skydio's VPS offers the following advantages.

Full Root Access
You can set up any services, or daemons as you like, such as DNS servers, email servers, web servers, java servlet, database servers and more. Imagine having a dedicated server now at a very affordable price.

Freedom to install any software and configure your system the way you want it.

Security
In a traditional shared hosting environment, one account can access other's files when not secured properly. A VPS account (disk space, memory) is totally isolated from other VPS accounts, because each VPS account is located in its own "Virtual Environment". Other VPS accounts can not access your files nor data in the memory. You will have your own copy of Apache web server, DNS servers, Database server, and user accounts. This VPS security model makes it ideal for secure credit card processing in e-commerce applications.

Performance guarantee.
Skydio's VPS utilizes virtualization technology that provides performance guarantee to your VPS account, so that no matter what other VPSs are doing, your VPS environment will continue to receive guaranteed amount of CPU, Memory and network resources.
