Disk Space refers to the amount of storage space available for the content you want to host on your web site. Every page, every image, every email and every record in a database contributes to your disk space quota.

SSD or Solid State Drives use storage devices that don’t have spinning disks inside them. The benefit is that they can access data much faster then a traditional spinning disk. The downside is that they are more costly per gigabyte. If your site sees heavy traffic and utilizes extensive databases, SSD is the way to go.

If you have concerns about the reliability of SSD technology, don’t. Today, SSD drives have the same reliability and track records of traditional spinning disk drives. These are enterprise grade Solid State Drives, not the stuff you buy at your typical electronics retailer for your home PC.

Bandwidth is the amount of traffic your web site transfers. If someone downloads a file from your web site that is 10 MB, that constitutes as 10 MB of bandwidth used on your account. Uploads count as well, so if a visitor to your site uploads a file, that too will count towards your bandwidth.Bandwidth is calculated every month and resets to 0 on your monthly anniversary.

RAM is the memory that runs your server. Typically you only need a little RAM to make a web server function, but the more traffic you have and the more your site relies on a SQL database, the more RAM you have can make a big difference in your web site’s performance.

Full Root Access come standard with every VPS account. This allows you to have Linux command line access to your server and run sophisticated applications and management tools. But remember with great power comes great responsibility. Root Access should only be used if you know exactly what you are doing. If you need something special set up on your account, contact us and we’ll be happy to lend a hand.

cPanel allows you to quickly and easily maintain your web site. We run updates frequently and cPanel ensures that your account continues to use the latest security patches. cPanel also gives you great control if you need to segment your account in to smaller pieces, giving you granular control of who can access what on your hosting account. cPanel comes standard on every VPS account.

You can request a VPS without cPanel, however that will limit the support available on your account.
