What is VPS Hosting
Virtual Private Server Hosting is an innovative approach to partitioning physical servers into several virtual machines. It is the future of new hosting as it provides the power and functionality of a high-end dedicated server but at a much lower price.
By purchasing a VPS Cloud Hosting plan, you get a 100% individual machine with root access and your own dedicated CPU, RAM and SSD storage. Our Virtual Private Servers are powered by XEN and its XEN Hypervisor technology – a thin software layer inserted between the server’s hardware and the operating system.
Each Virtual Server can run under its operating system (Debian, CentOS or your custom Linux distribution) or have custom configurations of its own.
What can VPS offer if you’re already using another hosting package? Compared to shared hosting a VPS might seem a little harder to manage but we are providing an Easy VPS Control Panel (similar to the Shared Hosting Control Panel), so you can easily manage your VPS.
This is the best experience an unmanaged Linux VPS Hosting service could offer.

VPS Hosting Advantages
Self-Dependency
VPS Cloud Hosting has better security to count on because of its self-dependency. That is because every virtual server uses its resources and OS, it can be rebooted and configured independently from the other virtual machines, and it’s not affected by other users’ actions.
Self-dependency makes VPS Hosting more secure than, say, shared web hosting.
Dedicated Mail Server
Our VPS Hosting offers a dedicated mail server with a separate IP address, saving you the troubles of getting into SPAM blacklists or experiencing bounced emails because of somebody else’s SPAM activities on a shared mail server.
Performance and Reliability
Every virtual server uses its own CPU and RAM resources that are not shared, thus facilitating the service by providing a predictable environment for you to administrate.
Of course, that allows the server to perform better and to be more reliable. We would recommend VPS hosting over Semi-Dedicated for websites that have sudden spikes in RAM and CPU usage.
Custom Installations
VPS Hosting allows for custom configurations and installations because it gives you full root access to the virtual server. This is feasible because you are the sole owner of the VPS. An absolutely independent OS can be installed and configured on every virtual server of the VPS host.

The Cutting Edge of Linux & Open Source at Your Fingertips
Have you ever tried to purchase a VPS in order to find out that the OS for which you want to use is not available? Have you been frustrated to find which OS are offered for the VPS plans in a particular hosting company? AWARDSPACE.COM is the solution to your problems and we are now happy to inform you that we have added 2 new OS to our VPS platform. We believe that our clients should be able to choose from a variety of OS depending on what they are comfortable with.
DEBIAN 9.0 “STRETCH”
The first OS which we have added is the recently released on June 17th, 2017 Debian 9 “Stretch”. In Stretch, the default MySQL variant is now MariaDB. Thanks to the Reproducible Builds project, over 90% of the source packages included in Debian 9 will build bit-for-bit identical binary packages.
This is an important verification feature which protects users from malicious attempts to tamper with compilers and build networks.
The Stretch release is the first version of Debian to feature the modern branch of GnuPG in the GnuPG package. This brings with it elliptic curve cryptography, better defaults, a more modular architecture, and improved smartcard support.
THIS RELEASE INCLUDES NUMEROUS UPDATED SOFTWARE PACKAGES, SUCH AS:
- Apache 2.4.25
- Asterisk 13.14.1
- Chromium 59.0.3071.86
- Firefox 45.9 (in the firefox-esr package)

- an updated version of the GNOME desktop environment 3.22
- GNU Compiler Collection 6.3
- GnuPG 2.1
- Golang 1.7
- KDE Frameworks 5.28, KDE Plasma 5.8, and KDE Applications 16.08 and 16.04 for PIM components
- LibreOffice 5.2
- Linux 4.9
- MariaDB 10.1
- MATE 1.16
- OpenJDK 8

The second OS that we have added to our VPS platform is Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS, with the codename “Xenial Xerus”, which was released on April 21st, 2016.
Although it is not the newest version available it is a new addition to our platform which you can now install on the VPS. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS introduces a new application format, the ‘snap’, which can be installed alongside traditional deb packages.
