Why GLiCX VPS?

Based on some of the best equipment available, and some of the most proven cloud computing technology, the GLiCX VPS cluster can easily host your servers without worry of downtime or being ridiculously slow. Our virtual server solution, based on Xen, allows for the quick provision of your service on our cluster. Since it's a virtual server, you get full root access.

For more information, see Server Specifications.

Why GLiCX VPS instead of a dedicated server?

By using Xen-based VPS instead of a dedicated server, you instantly gain superior stability (in the event of a hardware failure, we can just move your VPS to a different machine) for a overall less cost of ownership.

Additionally, many dedicated servers are hosted on cheap, unreliable hardware. We think that sucks, and at GLiCX, we use high quality Supermicro servers.

We use high performance Intel E5400 series as standard processor in all our servers, running 8 processor cores per server! All our servers are on Intel platform.

What can I do with a virtual server?

Virtual servers, also known as VPSes, are a more cost effective alternative to dedicated hosting, and provide superior availability and reliability over shared hosting solutions like webhosts and shell providers. In most cases, a VPS is just as good as a more expensive dedicated server solution.

For example, you can do many things with a VPS from GLiCX Networks like:
* Run a popular gameserver.
* Host a custom web application and have full control over how the webserver runs.
* Host ruby on rails, django, and other web framework based apps.
* Host an IRC server or a SILC server or a Jabber server.
* Use multiple VPSes from multiple providers to create a scalable content distribution network.
* Run a DNS server.
* Run a mail server set up exactly as you want it (no spam please, though).

Obviously you can do much more than that too, with a GLiCX VPS the possibilities are endless.
