Questions

[Metallerz]

Hello,

I like the look of your service but I have some novice questions for you.

I have never used a Virtual Server or Dedicated Server before, will a novice like myself be able to understand and set up sites without having to read tutorials?

I have no idea what SSH Root Access is or how to use it, does this matter?

I currently run a site on Cirtex Hosting, it has been growing steadily over the past year and lately at times the site seems slow and sluggish, what advantages will my site have on a Virtual Server?

Currently my site does not make much money, I am doing this as a hobby and have no intention of making money but I do want to keep my users happy, barring this in my mind I will only be able to afford your VZ1 plan. Will this be enough to give a site currently on shared hosting a significant boost or will the improvement be barley noticeable.

Thank you.

A virtual server / dedicated server is all ran by virtuzzo, cpanel & whm. so its just as easy to set up as your website on cirtex.

SSH is used for making changes to your server configuration Secure shell. you can install software using it and other things.

Having a virtual server will greatly improve speeds because there are less sites on the VPS Servers. around 200 on a shared hosting server (at cirtex) around 30 - 50 on a VPS (HostV)

The improvement will be noticeable very much so and you will have greater control over the security of your server.

If you want to make some money to cover the costs there are things you can do which will pay for them such as Google ad sense, cirtex affiliate scheme ($30 per sale

With the newest version of cpanel - which is vps optimized a VZ1 should be an improvement for your site. Before cpanel was a big memory hog - so VZ1 sometimes wasnt enough for both a busy site + cpanel. But now its okay. As for using it - you can know as little or as much as you want. You would need to go over WHM and how to setup and create an account- but once the accounts are setup and going you don't have to do anything if you dont want to. We provide management for your vps/server so all bases are covered. Root access if you dont want to use it you dont have to. Any other questions do let us know.

Thank you Parody and Cecilia.

I have a few final questions before signing up.

Extra Bandwidth is $35.00 / 350GB. ($0.10/GB), I assume this is billed monthly?

Is there a cap on my bandwidth or will I be charged $0.10 for every GB I go over or will I be charged the full fee of $35.00.

Is all the software installed on the VDS Managed by HostV, or is it up to me to keep these up to date like FFMpeg etc.

I think that is all for now.

Thanks.

Hi,

1) Yes that is extra bandwidth billed monthly
2) There is no cap but you don't get charged overage fees either, you will be capped if you go over your usage and we'll notify you.
3) We will keep everything setup for you and you can notify us if you require any changes/updates.

Hope that answers it all.

Cheers

Hello again,

I still have not moved to Host V but that may change this week.

I have some more questions.

If I purchase VZ1 and want to upgrade to VZ2 can you explain the process?

Will my sites be moved to a new server featuring only VZ2 accounts or can the upgrade be added to my current sites without disruption and without moving all my files to another server?

I have 2 separate accounts with Cirtex Hosting, I would like to move the files myself but will it be possible for Host V to import my MySQL databases only?

Lastly my main site is hosted elsewhere which is why I am considering the move to Host V. Once again I would be moving all my files from my old server to the new one myself however my MySQL database is over 500 MB.

How would I go about importing this to Host V?

Thank you.

When you upgrade from VZ1 to VZ2 its a backend process. No need to move anything, we do everything behind the scenes within a few minutes. No interruption at all.

We can move any databases you need moving. No problem at all.
