The whole concept of a Virtual Private Server or Virtual Hosting (which is what most other hosting providers offer) is based on remote administration. Many small to medium sized business simply cannot afford to install a T1 into their office (let alone a DS3) and lay down the capital, time, and human resources necessary to maintain a dedicated connection to the Internet. A Virtual Private Server allows you to have a dedicated presence on the Internet and maintain it remotely via a low cost dial-up connection.

User Interfaces

There are several user interfaces that allow you to administer your Virtual Private Servers in an easy-to-use and comfortable environment.

  • iManager
    Our most comprehensive tool is iManager. iManager provides wizards that guide you through the step-by-step process of uploading files to your Virtual Private Servers, managing files, creating e-mail accounts, and much more. Because iManager runs from your web browser (Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, and others), accessing your Virtual Private Servers is as easy as surfing a web site.

  • Telnet or SSH
    Providing shell account access to our Virtual Private Serverss is a fundamental part of our philosophy. By using a Telnet or SSH client, you can connect to your Virtual Private Servers from anywhere in the world, and log in as if you were sitting right in front it.

The UNIX O/S

At the core of of our hosting technology is the UNIX Operating System (O/S).
