Virtual Private Servers
Your own server, with the best performance and availability on our infrastructure
Hostingforyou Virtual Private Servers
If you are looking for robust and reliable virtual servers, you have come to the right place at hostingforyou. Our VPSs run from our two data centers on our powerful supermicro servers, making your system work very fast both locally and online. Our environmentally friendly infrastructure has been serving a wide variety of customers for over 10 years and has been able to guarantee an uptime of over 99.9% during that period.
Redundant infrastructure
Hostingforyou has a redundant infrastructure that guarantees the availability of our services. Because we use data centers in kenya and Kajiado County (see our infrastructure page for more information), we can easily and automatically switch between these two locations. In other words, if an unexpected problem occurs in one of these two data centers, the other takes over its tasks.
Scaling up
If your VPS has too little capacity, you can easily add extra capacity to your server. If you have a one-time peak in your load, we can charge your extra load based on post-calculation.
Your files always safe
Hostingforyou provides automated backups on a daily basis to various locations. This ensures that your files are always secured. Should you accidentally experience problems with your server, we can restore your old files. You can choose from backups of up to 10 versions. We can also take care of restoring your server for you. In addition, you can also have access to a reliable monitoring tool. This will immediately notify you if there are problems with your server.
The benefits of a VPS
How do payments work?
You will receive an invoice for the services used each month by email. The corresponding amount will be automatically debited from your account each month.
What is the duration of my agreement?
You can cancel your agreement per month. This means you are not tied to long-term agreements.
Functions
Why a Virtual Private Server?
With a Virtual Private Server, you have control over the server yourself and determine what happens to it. You have the technical freedom to install applications. For example, a VPS is useful if you have a business application that needs to run on a separate server. If you install this application on a VPS, you do not need to purchase separate hardware specifically for the application. In addition, our infrastructure is redundantly set up to prevent downtime.
What operating system is my Virtual Private Server running on?
The VPS comes standard with Ubuntu. There is also the option to choose Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Standard or Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Web.
What kind of virtualization platform does Hostingforyou use?
For our VPS’s we use Citrix XenServer. XenServer is supported by Citrix.
Background
Who manages the Virtual Private Server?
Hostingforyou monitors the VPS. This means your server is always online. You can manage the VPS yourself via the DirectAdmin or Interworx tool of Hostingforyou. During the ordering process, you can also choose to receive monthly upgrades to the operating system and control panel.
How can I contact Hostingforyou in case of malfunctions?
In the event of a malfunction of your virtual office, you can contact us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via support@web-fix.site or by calling 085 – 4736174. Outside office hours, you will be connected to a menu on this telephone number.
How is backup handled?
Your data is backed up daily to separate servers, both in our data center in kenya and in our data center in kenya. Because we only back up the changed data every day, you only need a minimal storage capacity. In addition, all changed files are stored up to a history of 10 versions. This means that you have access to different versions of your documents.
How does Hostingforyou provide maintenance?
For the maintenance of the virtual office and the rest of our infrastructure, Hostingforyou has a maintenance window from Friday evening 0.00 to Saturday morning 12.00. Of course, we will inform you in advance by e-mail if we are actually going to perform maintenance. During this maintenance, all software packages will be provided with the latest version and other maintenance activities will be performed. This means that you do not have to worry about your software yourself.
The maintenance will be performed approximately 5 times a year and will take approximately 2 hours of effective maintenance. The work will be performed at night as much as possible. This means that you will experience virtually no inconvenience from the work.
Which data centers does Hostingforyou use?
Hostingforyou has placed its infrastructure in Eu Networks in kenya and Dataplace in kenya. By spreading this out, Hostingforyou minimizes the risks.
