What is VDS Technology?

Hard Hat Hosting has implemented a revolutionary new technology, the "virtual dedicated server" or VDS. A VDS is created when a computer is divided into multiple, isolated servers. Each VDS has its own unique domain name (ie: "yourcompany.com") and performs much like a dedicated server.

More Secure and Stable than Shared Hosting
Unlike shared hosting which stores hundreds of users in the same directory, the data within your VDS cannot be accessed by other users on the same physical server. For added stability, VDS technology completely isolates each VDS, or 'slice' with it's own disk space, and network space.

Just like a dedicated server, each VDS has it's own independent operating system with isolated instances of Apache (web server), Sendmail (mail server) and all installed software. A crashed application (Apache, Sendmail, MySQL etc.) in another customer's VDS has no effect on your VDS.

Comparison Between Shared Hosting and Virtual Dedicated Servers

Shared Hosting Environment In an unsecure Shared Hosting Environment all of the accounts on a server are in the same directory and can be viewed by other account holders. Since all accounts share the same operating system and applications, an error on one account will cause the entire server to be rebooted.

Virtual Dedicated Servers VDS Technology divides up the disk space and network space, creating a more secure and reliable hosting environment. Each VDS has it's own operating system. If a VDS on the same physical server crashes it will not affect any of the other accounts on the server.
