Why Choose A Virtual Server System

The Virtual Server System is based on the idea of multiplexing a single UNIX server into multiple virtual machines or multiple virtual servers, each with its own IP address and domain name (use our Domain Name Check Form to check for availability). When a request is received, the Virtual Server System determines which virtual server will service the request based on this unique IP address and then invokes the appropriate service to respond to the request.

By sharing the UNIX server (and the high speed DS3 bandwidth), you save thousands of dollars on the hardware, personnel, and time required to install, maintain, and service a dedicated connection (which for a typical business is no faster than a T1). The Iserver Virtual Server System is far easier to manage because most of the work is done for you. Iserver offers easy to use utilities such as iManager and iRoot which allow you to administrate your server remotely. Furthermore, the Virtual Server System offers tremendous Internet connectivity via multiple DS3's linked directly to the MCI and UUNET fiber backbones.

Not only is the Iserver Virtual Server System well connected, but it is the most flexible virtual server solution on the Internet. Each virtual server includes its own set of virtual services- http (web), ftp, pop, and email- which operate in a "virtual environment" independent of any other account. Therefore, you are free to customize your virtual server to your liking and needs.

For example, your virtual server includes an entire httpd directory tree comprising in part of your own cgi-bin, configuration files (httpd.conf, et al), and log files (access, error, and referer logs). Thus you can customize and configure your virtual server's WWW service to meet your specific needs (and meet them immediately) since you have complete control of your virtual server. Similar flexibility is afforded for the other virtual services.

The Virtual Server System is extremely affordable. Our prices ranges from $85/month for a basic virtual server to $130/month for the complete package.
