Data Centre

 

Our virtualization infrastructure is hosted in a top european data centre at KPNQwest in Milan. KPNQwest is directly connected to the biggest European backbones via the italian MIX data centre. In addition to KPNQwest other european web farms are used to host our main website.

Virtualization technology

In computing, Xen is a virtual-machine monitor for x86, x86-64, Itanium and PowerPC 970 architectures. It allows several guest operating systems to execute on the same computer hardware concurrently. The University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory developed the first versions of Xen; as of 2009 the Xen community develops and maintains Xen as free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL2).

 

Xen systems have a structure with the Xen hypervisor as the lowest and most privileged layer. Above this layer come one or more guest operating systems, which the hypervisor schedules across the physical CPUs. The first guest operating system, called in Xen terminology "domain 0" (dom0), boots automatically when the hypervisor boots and receives special management privileges and direct access to all physical hardware by default. The system administrator can log into dom0 in order to manage any further guest operating systems, called "domain U" (domU) in Xen terminology.

 

Modified versions of Linux, NetBSD and Solaris can run as the dom0. Several modified Unix-like operating systems may function as guest operating systems (domU); on certain hardware, as of Xen version 3.0, unmodified versions of Microsoft Windows and other proprietary operating systems can also run as guests if the CPU supports x86 virtualization (such CPUs include Intel VT and AMD-V).

 

Guaranteed resources

 

Xen provides each virtual server with a set of fixed and guaranteed resources. It is in fact impossible to over commit a physical host and therefore your VPS will never be short of CPU power and Ram. No tricks are possible, what you buy is what you get.

Your favourite Linux distribution

Our control panel allows you to install your favourite distribution in a moment. We support the following systems:

 

Raw Linux distributions:


Ready made systems for shared hosting environments:


TurnKey Linux Appliances based on Ubuntu Server:

Our support team is at your complete disposal if you need a personalized installation.

Our VPS control panel

We developed our own control panel as we believe that in order to provide a top service you need to know your tools and know where to put your hands if you need it.

The development stage took over 5 month time, a period which allowed us to tune our infrastructure in dept and therefore have a very reliable and flexible system.

 

Taking such a development commitment was a huge investment in time and resources but we believe that it was absolutely necessary in order to be able to provide a reliable and professional service:

Custom Kernel

Unlike most providers, our infrastructure allow you to compile and install your own custom kernel.

The above is possible as we use pygrub, a tool which allows your VPS to be started from a kernel stored in its file system rather than in the dom0's.

Rescue mode

If you cannot boot your VPS because of configuration error or file system problem, our control panel allows you boot in rescue mode. You will then be able to mount your disks and fix the system or recover your data.
