Windows 2003 VPS

Web24 Windows Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are an excellent solution for a wide range of applications. From single isolated web hosting accounts to Hosted Exchange 2007, a VPS is a flexible and cost efficient solution. As with all our VPS servers, we provide fine grain control over resource allocations - and guarantee each VPS customer receives the promised resources ensuring your VPS performs exactly as expected. 

If you are looking for greater control and performance than a Shared Hosting account can provide, and wish to enjoy the benefits of a Virtual enviornment over a Dedicated Server, our Windows Virtual Private Servers deliver dedicated performance at a fraction of the cost. They come with exactly the same features, autonomy and functionality of a dedicated Windows server, and are suitable for a wide range of tasks such as application development and hosting, multiple virtual domain hosting, high traffic websites or game servers.

Windows Standard VPS's allow you to use MS Terminal Services or Remote Desktop Client to connect to your server and configure it to your requirements.  If you wish to use your server primarily to host websites, databases and email then the  "PLESK HOSTING VPS" solution may be better suited. Plesk Hosting VPS provides you with an excellent control panel system allowing you to manage multiple hosting services with minimal administrative requirements.

Now with Extra Ram!

Web24 is the only Australian Windows Virtual Private Server (VPS) provider that has a burstable RAM facility. Windows VPS's usually suffer from a "hard limit" RAM allocation, meaning your application will stall once the RAM resource is used. Web24 has created a service that allows you to "burst" past your standard RAM allocation for those times when you need to - ensuring high quality services.

Pre-Configured Applications

When you subscribe to a VPS hosting plan through Web24 you can choose from any of the following applications with your VPS. You are not required to choose any of these applications and can install them directly if required.

Windows VPS Pre-Configured Applications

• Windows 2003 Enterprise Server
• SSH Secure Shell
• MSDE SQL 2000 / SQL 2005
• .NET 1.1 & 2.0
• IIS 6.0

Managed or Unmanaged Service.

A VPS has great flexibility which allows you to configure your server in many ways and as such, the management of a VPS requires basic system administration skills.  Web24 can provide complete management services based upon an hourly rate or monthly management contract and this service can be added to your VPS subscription during signup.

Critical Updates and Patches

Web24 manages the OS patches and critical updates for all VPS's, these are installed automatically by our technicians. However any application installed on the VPS is not managed and you should ensuring all applications are kept up to date.  (Please check with Web24 if you wish to install and MS Windows OS patch)

Backups

Web24 provides managed backup services for VPS customers at a rate from $24.95 per month. Our managed backup services provide a daily backup of your VPS to a dedicated backup infrastructure. Unless you have subscribed to a backup service and have an agreement in writing with Web24, VPS backups remain the responsibility of the customer. You can use your Control Panel backup utility at any time to backup your VPS to our online backup servers.  Good practice suggests that you should also take a copy of your backup offline (downloaded).
