Top VPS Hosting Provider

According to Jeremy Adams, myhosting.com’s Product Manager, “Windows VDS and virtual server hosting services are designed to meet the demands of businesses that need servers to operate in the new cloud environments with minimal downtime.” Partnering with Microsoft, myhosting.com has now released an optimally-designed Hyper-V VDS cluster, designed to give businesses the best of scalable, flexible VDS.

myhosting.com was able to develop a solution, in part using Microsoft’s Dynamic Data Center Toolkit, which allows workloads to be seamlessly moved to another server during scheduled maintenance with as little as one ping of downtime, helping to reduce time lost due to maintenance and other scheduled processes by up to 50%. In addition, the new Hyper-V VDS architecture developed by myhosting.com is scalable and agile, allowing businesses of any size to make the move to a virtual dedicated server.

The company has also been able to enhance their Hyper-V based private clouds, and in partnership with strong market players like NetApp, has been able to improve their VPS hosting as well. Netapp’s storage services have given the company the ability to provide High Availability Virtual Private Servers that can synchronize backup files, secondary storage systems and snapshot vaults, all while handling all levels of disk I/O to improve performance.

The use of Hyper-V VDS, the Microsoft Dynamic Data Center Toolkit, as well as technology from leaders like Cisco and Netapp, has allowed myhosting.com to improve the VPS, VDS, and private cloud experience for customers of all sizes. With an increase in speed, stability, and with reduced downtime, the company is able to offer small and medium-sized businesses a viable path to the cloud, and offer businesses of any size a suite of comprehensive Web hosting services.

According to Steve Jobs, “if the hardware is the brain and sinew of our [Apple] products, the software is their soul”. As of July 2011, the soul of the Mac OS will be upgraded in the form of a new OS called “Lion”. But while this new OS comes with a number of shiny new features, what does it mean for server admins that are more concerned with their server than their desktop?

First up, it looks like the non-server version of Lion is going to allow users to run native, virtualized versions of Mac OS X Lion. This matters because in the past, Apple has limited this ability to run VPS servers to only those who bought the server version of their OS, and would require each user to buy a license for every single copy they wanted to be virtualized.

For $30, a user can upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion, and the “server app” addition is only $50 more, meaning that the new Mac OS X comes in as one of the most cost-effective virtual server tools on the market – something many IT admins and cost-watching execs will be happy about.

It seems that Apple is doing its best to infiltrate the server virtualization market by making it virtualization platform both affordable and simple to use. Though there are more powerful server tools on the market, Apple is well-known for their easy-to-use GUIs, and many IT users may decide to make the move to Lion for the simple fact that they will be able to easily deal with most events that occur within their data center.

Though Apple is playing catch-up in the virtualization market, Mac OS X Lion looks to have great potential.
