- Full control of all iptables modules
- Loadable kernel modules
- Access to remote console for troubleshooting
Xen VPS Hosting Features We have been receiving requests for a long time to offer Xen VPS hosting for quite a while - many of our customers consider this platform to be the best solution for their needs. - Greater Control: Having a Xen VPS will provide you with full access to different file system types, swap space, and iptables - if you are a power user who is comfortable with Linux administration, this is the VPS solution you have been looking for.
- Popular Operating Systems: All of VPSLink's Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Fedora OS templates (including our LAMP and Ruby on Rails stacks) are available for use with your Xen VPS.
- Control Panel Licensing: DirectAdmin licensing is available on Xen.
Xen VPS Considerations We highly recommend that you consider the ways in which a Xen VPS differs from OpenVZ if you are switching platforms: - Customization versus Raw Performance: Xen's hypervisor will provide you with more options to configure your virtual private server's kernel, however, this functionality will have a higher cost of resources than the OpenVZ platform.
VPSLink will always strive to provide the best performance at the lowest possible prices, but you may need to consider a hosting plan that is a step up from your present one if you are switching to Xen from another platform. - Swap Space versus Storage Space: Each Xen VPS is configured with swap space equivalent to twice the guaranteed RAM available with its hosting plan. Swap space allocation will have a minor effect on the amount of disk space available for regular file storage.
- Backup Administration: System backups for Xen VPS accounts are self-managed - you will be in charge of your backup schedule.
