Cloud Computing Made Simple

What is a VPS?

Virtual Private Server (VPS) is an upgrade from simple web hosting (shared hosting) that allows you to have greater control and flexibility of your outsourced website and web applications. Like having your own dedicated server, VPS allows you to install applications and gain direct access to the underlying operating system, but at a fraction of the price of dedicated hosting.

A VPS is great if you need:

Customisation
for a specific setup unique to you – i.e. special software configurations.

Isolation
to protect your data from others who share the server. Particularly useful if you run ecommerce.

Flexibility
to gain root access to the virtual server to better manage your data needs.

Super Fast
Hosted on our super fast scaleable cloud platform with SSD RAID and 10 Gig backbone.

Risk Free Trial
Free Trial and 30 day money back guarantee

Dynamic updates.
Need more RAM, CPUS or diskpace? No need to reboot just “upgrade” in seconds.

Virtual Private Servers are a revolutionary approach to outsourcing website and IT management, and have become the option of choice for both businesses and individuals interested in gaining more control and flexibility from their website hosting without the need for an expensive dedicated server. Fido’s Cloud approach provides high performance, low latency, quality hosting with 100% uptime guarantees on network and services. Truly the choice of professionals.

Gain more flexibility and control

VPS gives you total control and isolation: install and deploy your own applications, restart the virtual server, gain access to the underlying operation system. With VPS, unlike basic website hosting, you get complete isolation — your data is protected and isolated from everyone else.

Enhanced Performance + Reliability

Virtual servers have burst-able memory and CPU resources so you can scale-up performance if and when you need it. Also each VPS behaves like an isolated stand-alone machine and is insulated from failures or performance issues of other virtual environments. You’ll get rock-solid uptime and availability.

Save time managing your servers

Easily manage your servers. Save valuable time. Manage your server with an intuitive user interface. monitor virtual server resources, Start/stop, backup/restore/repair with just a few clicks of your mouse.
