Enjoy the benefits of a Virtual Private Server hosting setup.

Progressive Web Marketing and Design are proud to offer generous hosting packages on our Virtual Private Server for all of our customers. Virtual Private servers divide a single physical server into hundreds of mini-servers, which provide total separation between individual user accounts on the system. This is in contrast to a shared hosting setup where users share the same environment and the potential exists for conflicts and hackers to gain access to other accounts on the system. A virtual server has many of the benefits of having your own dedicated server, but without a lot of the added costs.

Increased Security

In a shared hosting environment, there is little separating every account from one another on the system. The potential exists for users of the system to gain access to any other account if they can find a suitable security hole. Using a technique called virtualization, a virtual private server completely separates each and every user. There is absolutely no potential for one user of the system to affect another in any way. Because you are confined to your own private server environment, you are completely isolated from any malicious users of the system. The potential for a criminal hacker to purchase an account on the same web host as you and break through their system and into your account is completely removed.

In addition there are further security benefits such as protection against hackers from accessing database information and also from accessing control off files regardless of permission settings. The busier a site gets, the more it becomes a target for malicious hackers and the more it stands to lose if they manage to take over the site. A virtual private server can protect you without any additional effort on your behalf.

Unrivaled Flexibility 

Because a virtual private server is like having your own real server, you can install whatever you like on it without risk of it interfering with other users on the system (or them interfering with you). This gives you the flexibility to install complex web applications, the libraries or languages they depend on and configure them exactly the way you require.

Improved Performance and Greater Resources

Unlike shared hosting, the traffic and activities of other VPS customers will not adversely affect your operation. Instead, having a dedicated allotment of resources allows visitors to enjoy faster load times. In addition, VPS hosting provides you with more disk space, traffic bandwidth, CPU processing power and RAM.

A virtual server offers you the flexibility and control you would get by having your own server, but frees you from having to worry about the core operating system and hardware requirements. The web host handles all of the nitty-gritty details of the operating system for you and presents you with a clean and stable version of UNIX which you can use to do whatever you like.

Problems with "inferior" hosting

• They have inferior technical support.  (Often manned by inadequately trained people who speak poor english.)
• Many do not offer phone support. (They only communicate via email.)
• They take forever to get anything done. (We've had instances where foreign hosting companies have taken over a week to make a simple changes for us so we can fix a client's site.)
• Usually any work they perform for us is billed at a premium rate.
• In our experience, "cheap hosting" is often the most expensive option.
