Virtual Private Server Hosting

Parallels Automation and PVC streamline VPS hosting with full automation of ordering, provisioning, billing, charge-backs, and user notifications. Parallels also simplifies management of applications and quality-of-service parameters. For example, you can:

• Set the VPS up to add applications—either when it’s provisioned or in response to user requests
• Set CPU and memory limits for the VPS, plus priorities for using spare CPU cycles and spare memory
• Set disk limits for the VPS and manage upgrades

For further flexibility, you can link all quality-of-service parameters—such as CPU, memory, and disk usage—to service templates, so users can easily select the options they need. You can also specify additional parameters, such as sockets, processes, TCP connections, and more.

You can choose to deliver both fully managed VPSs, which spare customers the complexities of server manage¬ment and allow them to set server options via a Web front end; and VPSs with root access, where customers manage their servers directly through command lines and scripts. In both cases, customers can order, maintain, and pay for services online, so a decision to buy or upgrade results in immediate service delivery.
