What indeed is a virtual (private) dedicated server? When you buy a VPS (virtual private server), you can at an affordable price receive advanced management services, especially if your usual virtual hosting plan is not enough to maintain all traffic. In comparison with a virtual hosting account, VPS gives you the opportunity to install configured programs and guarantees a 10 megabit per second connection of ports. With a VPS hosting service, the use of a dedicated server becomes quite simple, while configuration features are preserved. You can choose any one of the six pre-configured plans so that it could be much easier for you to begin working with our servers. If the initial information is not enough, you can find additional materials on any subject on our technical support pages: "Virtual Dedicated Linux Server" and "Virtual Dedicated Windows Server". What is the difference between a VPS and a dedicated server? The key difference is that a dedicated server is a whole server dedicated personally for your site; a VPS isolates your site from other sources that are hosted on the same server. This ensures root (administrator) access, provides a large amount of features, a separate IP address and much more. Servers are divided into sections such that a separate VPS functions independently of other accounts on the same server. This gives a stable and robust server performance even when the primary server encounters power failures. Who can become a VPS user? First and foremost, the hosting service for virtual dedicated servers provides multifunctionality, an acquired VPS, root access, and opportunity to install any software and program on the server. A VPS is easy to use by anyone – individuals and enterprises who own heavy-traffic websites. It is indispensable for sites installing complex applications that require high throughput capacity. Our virtual servers offer high performance, large disk volume, and a high passing ability. Is it possible to set up VPS from Legionbox? What if I don’t know how to configure a virtual private server?

VPS management To access the virtual private server through the hosting Control Center, you need to log into your Legionbox account and select "servers". Then press "start" near the VPS server that you want to use. Going to the virtual dedicated hosting manager, you have the opportunity to control the server at a basic level: you can customize your account, control the traffic and plan server reboot. Having installed the control panel on your server to ensure full operation with advanced server features, you will be able to solve problems connected with the virtual private server, sending requests for correction of malfunctions. "Protection against exceeding the bandwidth limit" - what is this? Protection (or suspension of your account) is triggered automatically when you exceed the bandwidth allowed for your plan. To restore server operation, you will need to buy extra bandwidth, or wait until the next billing. This feature cannot be added to the server if the limit has been exceeded. You can also stop your account manually or buy extra bandwidth until the next billing period comes (see "Adding bandwidth protection"). Where can I receive help for my virtual server?
