A virtual server compared to a shared web hosting service provides you with more flexibility, resources and speed. You will be able to install and run any special requirements you may need for your website or applications. You won't be sharing a server with thousands of other websites, so the virtual server is dedicated to run anything you want, super fast!

What is Burstable RAM?
To stop shared resources slowing down response times, we now offer burstable RAM. You get a guaranteed allocation of memory and as there is always more RAM than the allocation total, the extra memory is dynamically deployed to the server that needs it most at that time. This applies to our Linux servers only.
