Xen VPS Hosting Features
We have been receiving requests for a long time to offer Xen VPS hosting for quite a while - many of our customers consider this platform to be the best solution for their needs.
- Greater Control: Having a Xen VPS will provide you with full access to different file system types, swap space, and iptables - if you are a power user who is comfortable with Linux administration, this is the VPS solution you have been looking for.
- Popular Operating Systems: All of VPSLink's Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Fedora OS templates (including our LAMP and Ruby on Rails stacks) are available for use with your Xen VPS.
- Control Panel Licensing: WHM / cPanel licensing is available on Xen.
Xen VPS Considerations
We highly recommend that you consider the ways in which a Xen VPS differs from OpenVZ if you are switching platforms:
- Customization versus Raw Performance: Xen's hypervisor will provide you with more options to configure your virtual private server's kernel, however, this functionality will have a higher cost of resources than the OpenVZ platform.
VPSLink will always strive to provide the best performance at the lowest possible prices, but you may need to consider a hosting plan that is a step up from your present one if you are switching to Xen from another platform. - Swap Space versus Storage Space: Each Xen VPS is configured with swap space equivalent to twice the guaranteed RAM available with its hosting plan. Swap space allocation will have a minor effect on the amount of disk space available for regular file storage.
- Backup Administration: System backups for Xen VPS accounts are self-managed - you will be in charge of your backup schedule.
Ready to get started? Select the Xen VPS hosting plan that meets your needs and, when asked to specify your virtualization platform, choose Xen!
Note: The VPSLink Server Control Center does not support automated plan upgrades for Xen at this time - plan upgrade requests are manually reviewed with a 24 hour average turnaround time.
