Dedicated Container Hosting (VPS)

The dedicated container (VPS) is isolated hosting environment with dedicated and guaranteed server resources, this hosting solution is great for webmasters who need full control over their web server, here is a list of dedicated containers benefits:

Flexibility:

With (optional) root access, you have full control of every aspect of your Web hosting environment. You can fully configure every service and application, such as MySQL caching, allowed PHP functions, shell access, Perl modules, firewall settings and much more.

Scalability:

You can instantly scale up or down your Dedicated Container with more (or less) resources, including CPU, RAM, and disk space. Save money and only pay for what you need!.

Guaranteed resources:

Unlike shared hosting, where many Web sites compete for the same server resources, Dedicated Container Hosting guarantees your site the resources it needs to perform. With Dedicated Container Hosting, your Web site has access to dedicated RAM, CPU, and even hard disk I/O usage.

Powerful:

Up to 30 dedicated containers share 8 Xeon 5430 processor cores with 16 GB of RAM, providing each container with guaranteed 512MB of RAM and 25GB of disk space on RAID protected hard drives. Each Dedicated Container provides more robust performance and scalability than even low-cost dedicated servers.

General features:

Every Dedicated Container Hosting package comes with these essential features:
  • Apache 2.2, MySQL 5, Perl, PHP 5, Ruby, Mongrel and Python installed
  • Server software and operating system optimized and tuned for maximum performance and security.
  • Ability to have your private name servers and private hostnames.
  • cPanel/WHM with fantastico Installer and RVSkin
  • SSH Access

Management & Support

2MHost provides each Dedicated Container as fully active hosting environment, ready on day one to host your Web site. This fully managed environment allows us to provide you with the best possible performance and most up to date software.

If you would prefer to self-manage your Dedicated Container, we will provide you with root access to your hosting environment. With this access, we will no longer provide management for your Dedicated Container, and you will be responsible for all management and maintenance tasks.
