VPS or Virtual Servers?
Home > Virtual Servers > VPS or Virtual Servers?
Ninefold’s virtual servers are a robust, flexible alternative to a virtual private server (VPS). Unlike a traditional VPS setup where you’re often sharing a physical server with other customers, cloud virtual servers give you dedicated memory plus the ability to take on more CPU allocation when you need it. And because you’re not competing for space with other users, your site runs fast and you don’t have to worry about over-burdened servers crashing.
- Better than a traditional VPS set up. Our powerful cloud-based virtual servers give you all the benefits of a VPS plus dedicated CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network I/O – you don’t have to share with other customers.
- Scale up and down as you need. Got a high traffic month coming up? Increase your server sizes instantly.
- Choose either Windows® or Linux®. Build whatever you want on our Windows servers or Linux servers.
- Cheap Australian virtual server hosting. Prices start from as little as $30 per month plus bandwidth. Sign up now and receive a $50 AUD credit*.
- Instant setup with no minimum commitment. Create an account and get started today without being locked into a number of months or minimum spend.
- Your data stays in Australia. All our virtual servers are based at our Tier One Australian data centre for added speed and reliability.
