With recent advances in software and hardware in the field of
virtualisation, it has become common to use the Virtual Private
Server (VPS) as a solution to server infrastructure
requirements.
In simple terms a VPS is simply an instance of a server, running
its own operating system on virtualised hardware. A typical setup
has several VPS servers running on a 'host' server - the physical
computer. It offers all the advantages of a full, dedicated server,
but with the cost benefits of a shared hosting environment.
Linux is available on all plans; Windows requires a plan with
at least 15GB storage. Excess data usage is charged at $0.50 per
Gigabyte (unless bandwidth pooling is
used).
No contracts: pay in advance by the month with no setup
fee.
Root/Administrator access provides full control of your server;
install any software you like.
Check your server status, reboot, reinstall, change operating
system, and more - all from our easy-to-use web control panel.
Each plan comes with 1 IP address and 1 free backup per
week. Additional IP addresses or backups can be purchased as
required.
Change your plan - or individually upgrade disk, memory, data
limit - its all automated and occurs within minutes. A pro rata charge is
made to facilitate mid-month changes.
Built-in rescue feature based on VNC lets you
access your server even when it will not boot or you configure
firewall to deny access.

* Each VPS is backed up once a week at no charge
** Additional backups are priced in terms of the VPS disk size.
For example, purchasing a second backup for a VPS with a 10GB disk
would cost $1.00 per month ($0.10/GB x 10GB)
The Mammoth platform was built from the ground up
to offer a reliable and cost-effective platform for
virtualisation.
Dual processor Xeon servers with RAID-10 storage provide
fantastic site performance.
Our servers are hosted in an enterprise datacentre on Kent
Street in Sydney, Australia. Internet connectivity is provided by
Soul, operators of Australia's largest independent carrier
network.
Our current connection is 200mbit incoming (from the internet
to our facility) and 200mbit outgoing (from our facility to the
internet).
We use high quality commodity hardware, ensuring that
all components are easy to replace and upgrade, and are readily
available. We've focused on performance and uptime, spending
countless hours running tests to find the best configurations for
each aspect of the service.
Lower cost - A server setup that is equivalent in most ways to
a dedicated server, for a fraction of the cost.
Complete control over the server - you get full root access and
can manage every aspect of the operating system.
Ease of setup and provisioning (signup video) - a VPS can typically be spun-up
on demand within minutes after your initial request. There's no
waiting for hardware to get installed.
Ease of
expansion - VPS means you can start small and scale up as
required.
Improved availability - by sharing the
underlying hardware costs across a number of customers, we can
provide fully redundant hardware that is matched by only the most
expensive dedicated servers.
Ultimate flexibility - you're not subject to the typical
limitations of a shared hosting service. (See Supported
Applications)
Ease of operation - no more waiting for a technical support
person to reboot your server. Virtualisation offers easy remote
reboots. (Check out our mPanel Video).
