Servers are powerful computer systems for hosting, which host websites or software apps so multiple users can access them at once. Like other computers, servers have certain performance characteristics, for example, the memory, the hard drive and the power of the processors. A virtual server, also known as a VPS (Virtual Private Server), works according to the same principle. However, a virtual server does not use dedicated hardware, like a hard drive or CPU, rather it accesses one or more parts of certain hardware resources. This means a VPS has some performance characteristics that differ from those of a physical server. For example, the virtual hard drive capacity can be spread over various hard drives, or only use a part of a physical hard drive.

The advantage of a virtual server is the flexible allocation of physical server resources, which allows for the creation of tailor-made server sizes and in turn makes renting a VPS very cost efficient. The opposite of a VPS is a dedicated server, where specific hardware resources are rented either in their full capacity, or just one or more processors and hard drives. Our VPS Servers, like a dedicated server, give you full root access. That means you decide how you want to use VPS hosting – completely in private and independently from other users. You can also choose between Linux or Windows-based operating systems. You rent your VPS at an affordable monthly rate. Our virtual server packages offer various performance levels for your individual needs.

The VPS from Alcimi are ideal for small to medium-sized agencies that regularly create or monitor websites for their clients. They are also suitable for the web hosting of the internet presence of freelancers or small businesses. As all our virtual server solutions have full root or administrator access, small to medium-sized online shops can also be hosted using them, depending on the complexity of the shop system used, a number of products and customer traffic. The root access also makes our virtual server hosting an affordable option for telephone systems, database applications and mail servers. The fast external connection to the internet ensures that accessing your website or application is problem-free. The exchange of data is not limited, no matter how much data you upload or access from your servers – the connection capacity remains high. You have a choice between Linux and Windows as operating systems for your VPS. Which variation of the respective system you choose is up to you. This allows our affordable virtual private server (VPS) to support many different applications and hosting purposes. Even though our servers are affordable, we exclusively work with the brand newest hardware and place great emphasis on security and reliability.

The server virtualisation from Alcimi is an affordable and powerful solution for beginners with small to medium sized projects – from websites to online shops and database applications. As not every project requires the same capacities, you can choose between different package sizes. The main difference between them is the size of the virtual memory and the hard drive capacity. At the start of your project, when its dimensions are still relatively small, the hardware capacity of the beginner virtual server package may be enough for you. This delivers high performance with all the important features, comprehensive server security and reliable availability at an affordable price. With time, as your business or project grows, you may require higher capacities. Our VPS grow with your needs. All servers come with additional features. For example, if you want to be available to your clients under a number of internet addresses, simply book additional ones or include external domains from other providers. If you are renting a VPS to host an online store, it is important to secure the exchange of data using an SSL certificate. We also offer different applications for hosting mail servers – from virus protection to mail solutions.
