What exactly is a Virtual Dedicated Server(VDS)?
Our Virtual Dedicated Servers bring together all the advantages of Dedicated Servers and VPS. Thus, it can be considered as a hybrid between a VPS and a Dedicated Server.
By means of virtualization multiple VDS exist on a host server system the same way as VPS, but each Virtual Dedicated Server has its own dedicated hardware resources, so computing power in the form of CPU Cores and RAM ready to be used only for your own applications without sharing them with other VDS on the same host server system. Because of this, VDS can be fully used for any kind of virtualization projects and support real-time sensitive applications perfectly. Moreover, VDS come with additional VNC access and can be provided as quickly as VPS. Of course, you get full root access to a VDS, too. In addition to that, you can add additional Storage to your VDS and thus it offers more customizable hardware options than our VPS. Because of that, our VDS are often referred to as a slice of a Dedicated Server.
Can I change from a VPS to a VDS?
Generally speaking, it is possible to switch from any other product to one of our VDS, but there is no one-click migration offered.
The proven approach and general process is: Order the VDS model of your choice, send the initial payment, and after the provisioning of your new VDS you can transfer your data from the “old” product to the new VDS, then cancel your “old” product. As a result, you will keep the new VDS only, and the change would be accomplished. If this approach is not feasible for you for whatever reason, get in touch with us instead, providing us with the information on the product that you wish to be replaced and the VDS model that you desire. We will do our utmost to find a working solution for you then.
Can I change my VDS hardware?
Partly. While both the CPU cores and RAM cannot be customized, you can always add additional Storage space of up to 8 TB as well as additional Unlimited Bandwidth (depending on your VDS plan). In order to do so, kindly get in touch with our Customer Support Department.
What operating systems does my VDS support?
SmartAss hosting supports many operating systems (we firmly believe in offering as many choices as possible to our customers). You can choose from a wide range of popular Linux distributions: CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, and many others.
We also offer Windows Server for those who prefer to roll with Windows. If you choose Windows Server, then note that the Windows license fee is added to your monthly VDS fee.
