If you're not fimilar with web hosting or the internet you most likely wont know what the features we offer are. That is why we have put together this page to explain each of our main features in detail.

Disk Space (Storage Space)

The amount of included space on the servers harddrive where you can store your files. 1GB of storage will hold thousands of images or webpages.

Bandwidth (Data Transfer)

Every time someone visits your website data is transferred. The data includes images, files, page data and everything else you see when you view a website. The average website will never come close to the amount of bandwidth we provide on each package.

Monthly Price

Server CPU

The amount of server CPU you can use. CPU definition: Stands for Central Processing Unit, a programmable logic device that performs all the instruction, logic, and mathematical processing in a computer.

Dedicated IP Addresses

Dedicated IP addresses can be used for SSL certificates, private name servers, SEO reason, etc.

Xen Technology

Xen vps technology is the closest thing to a dedicated server. Each vps acts independtly and has its own kernel, unlike other vps software including openvz and virtuozzo where you share files and resources with other users.
At SharkSpace our Xen vps have zero overselling. Your vps will be the closest thing to a dedicated server, except with the benefit of our high end server hardware and raid 10 data protection storage.

Ready to use VPS

SharkSpace goes the extra mile to provide you with a VPS that is ready to use.

The extra things SharkSpace does before you even access your VPS (for Cpanel managed vps):

Security:

1) Set recommended security settings (disable anonymous FTP, disable compilers, etc.)

2) Install Mod_security

3) Set Cpanel and WHM security settings

4) Set the SSH port to a non standard number (details in welcome email)

Configuration and upgrades:

1) We configure and upgrade apache to the latest Apache 2.2 version

2) We configure (install all major php modules so your scripts function) and upgrade php to the latest PHP 5 version

3) We configure and upgrade Mysql to the latest Mysql 5 version

3) Install Zend Optimizer and IonCube

4) Configure Cpanel and WHM update settings for nightly updates

5) Secure and optimize FTP and Exim (install dovecot for increase performance)

6) Install Cpanel & WHM

The only changes you will need to make is to add your private name servers (guide is in the welcome email). Then you can start adding your accounts.

For vps without Cpanel and management

We install and update your chosen Operating system to the latest version

 

Raid-10 File Storage and Data Protection

Raid-10 creates multiple mirrors, where data is organized as stripes across multiple disks and then the striped disk sets are mirrored. In total Raid-10 uses four harddrives; when one drive fails the others will take over and your sites will remain online. Raid 10 allows for harddrive hotswaps so we can replace a harddrive at anytime without having to reboot or shutdown the server.

R1Soft Daily Backups

R1soft is the leading backup software (R1soft website). R1soft backups up your entire VPS without creating any server load related issues. SharkSpace keeps 3 restore points from the previous 3 days. If you do not order R1soft backup you will be responsible for your own backups.
