What can our Linux VPS hosting be used for?

• Asterisk VOIP
• Our customers are using the Trixbox VPS or standard OS VPSs w/ Asterisk self-installed to host their own SOHO IP PBXs and calling card shops.  Our standard VPS hosting is perfect for low to medium volume Asterisk solutions, or even development of Asterisk related software and management solutions. If you have higher volume requirements, check out our "dedicated" VPS services.

• Special Requirements Website
• So you have a site with some special requirements and environmental settings that you can't seem to find from shared hosting?  With a VPS plan, you can customize your hosting to exactly the specs you need to get your site online the way it should be.  We have customers running Zope, Tomcat, and many other webserver applications.  You can even install a specific PHP optimizer/cache (IonCube, Eaccelerator, Zend) or deploy a JSP hosting environment.

• Reseller Hosting
• A VPS is a great way to begin offering hosting services.  It is a low cost entry level solution for providing PHP, Email, DNS, MySQL, and many other Internet services.  Best of all, you have the power to choose the software and versions you want to deploy, like PHP5.

• Software Research and Development
• Software developers and development companies especially love our VPS hosting because it provides a low-cost environment for R&D of new technologies.  Many have active CVS or SVN repositories for global collaboration and code management.

You also have the ability to configure them exactly the way you want, whether you're authenticating from a SQL database, using special SPAM/Virus scanning, etc.  Bets of all, there are no limits on the number of E-mail accounts or forwards available.  You can even launch web-based Email, like Squirrelmail, Roundcube, Horde, et. al.

• With our standard OS VPS plans, you can choose the  smallest amount of resources and start hosting your DNS records for redundancy.
