Uses for Virtual Private Servers
With the flexibility to install any application and with complete operating system access, a VPS is a popular solution for the following applications:
Web hosting
Start your own hosting company on a low budget. Combine a VPS plan with a popular hosting control panel such as Plesk and begin offering your own web hosting plans backed by Net24’s fully redundant network and high uptime guarantee.
Online Shop / E-commerce
Benefit from the added security of a VPS. Use a secure VPS environment to host your e-commerce website, keeping your customers details and sensitive transaction data secure.
Web Developers
A VPS gives web and software developers complete freedom to install programs and configure the server to suit their needs. This allows complex hosting configurations that otherwise wouldn’t normally run under a shared hosting plan, to operate without restriction under a VPS plan.
Application Servers
Use VPS to set up your own servers. Ideal for DNS, FTP, database servers like Microsoft SQL and MySQL and even E-Mail servers like Microsoft Exchange Server. Hosting your application servers on a Net24 VPS plan means you benefit from our fully redundant multi-homed network for high application availability.
Centralised Remote Application Access with Terminal Services
With a VPS and Terminal Services you can host multiple, simultaneous client sessions and provide centralised remote application access. The application execution takes place on the VPS, only keyboard, mouse and display information is transmitted over the network. Administrators can install, configure and manage applications centrally on a VPS, saving the organisation from investing in expensive IT systems, and improve application availability by leveraging Net24's redundant network infrastructure.
