Virtual Private Server FAQ’S

What type of hardware will my VPS be hosted on?

The hardware for your VPS depends on the plan you choose. Specifically, we offer several tiers, including Basic, Standard, Enterprise, and Corporate VPS plans. Each plan comes with specific allocations for memory, disk space, and bandwidth to match your needs.

Generally, our server specifications are as follows:

Basic VPS Plan:

• 2 vCPU Cores

• 2 GB RAM

• 25 GB SSD Storage

• 1 TB Monthly Transfer

• Choice of Linux distributions

• Plesk or cPanel (Optional)

Price: $14.99/mo.

Account Setup and Management

What control panel choices do you offer?

Currently, we offer the industry-leading cPanel/WHM control panel to help you manage your VPS.

How long will it take to set up my account?

We configure our VPS plans to provide you with access to your server administration panel within 12-24 hours. However, provisioning can be delayed if an order receives a high fraud score. Therefore, to ensure we build your account quickly, please avoid using free email services and always provide accurate billing information.

Technology and Software

What software do you use to provide VPS functionality?

Bodhost.com uses OpenVZ to create our powerful VPS environments. SW-Soft recently released OpenVZ to the Linux community, and there are plans underway to add it to the core Linux kernel. Because OpenVZ is the foundation of SW-Soft’s popular commercial VPS platform, it provides excellent stability. Although there are a few differences between OpenVZ and its commercial counterpart, using OpenVZ allows us to offer a rock-solid, low-cost VPS alternative to everyone.

Furthermore, for your operating system, we provide CentOS 4.x, Fedora Core X, and Debian OS for your VPS.

What development languages/tools are included?

All our VPS servers come ready with GCC, Python, Perl, and PHP. Consequently, you can compile and run today’s most popular open-source applications right away.

Technical Specifications and Policies

What is the speed of your network?

All of our VPS nodes are directly plugged into our gigabit Ethernet backbone. As a result, you will have access to multiple gigabits of premium tier-1 bandwidth.

Will my OS count against my disk space?

Yes, your operating system files will count against your total disk allocation. Typically, operating system footprints vary between 125-300 megabytes.

Is the APF firewall supported?

Yes, we fully support the APF firewall. In addition, we also support TAP/TUN.

Can I host an adult site?

Yes, you can host an adult site as long as it complies with our terms and acceptable use policy. In other words, the content must be legal, and you must hold all copyright and model releases for the information you publish.

Can I upgrade my kernel?

No, OpenVZ does not allow for any kernel modifications. You will be running a variant of the Linux 2.6 kernel, which is the latest stable version.

Upgrades and Flexibility

Can I upgrade to another plan later?

Absolutely. The bodhost.com members’ area allows you to upgrade to another plan at any time in just a few seconds. Even a dedicated server can’t offer that level of instant scalability!
