Leading Macromedia hosting partner CFXHosting has launched
the world's only full-control Virtual Private Server hosting solution
on a Windows platform designed specifically for the sophisticated Macromedia
developer. The CFX-Advanced VPS plan partitions each client on a server
into an isolated area. Clients are given full-control of their own operating
system, gaining dedicated server control of their partitioned section
of the server. Unlike traditional shared hosting environments in which
many web sites fight for the server resources, each site remains independent
of one another and is therefore not affected by the performance of other
sites on the server.
This unique hosting configuration is made possible by
CFXHosting's proprietary software solution that allows multiples copies
of operating systems to be run simultaneously on one server. Clients receive
root-level server access - via telnet or terminal server -- which is identical
to that given in a dedicated hosting environment. In addition to IIS or
Apache access, clients have control over their own operating system, including
remote rebooting capabilities, the freedom to install customer applications,
and the ability to host additional web sites and web applications in their
partitioned area.
"The main advantage that the CFX-Advanced VPS plan
gives developers is complete server isolation at a much lower cost than
a dedicated server," said Mark Click, Sales Representative for CFXHosting.
"Developers can be confident that their websites will not be affected
by the performance of other sites on the server due to our server partitioning
software. For example, one client can reboot his operating system and
not affect the environment for any of the other clients on the same machine.
This is of paramount importance for mission-critical websites that can't
afford to have their site suffer due to the performance of another site
on the server."
The Advanced VPS plan provides Macromedia developers
with access to the ColdFusion Administrator, a feature that is unprecedented
in the hosting industry. Developers are also given use of ColdFusion RDS
and are allowed to host additional domains in their partitioned area.
"CFXHosting has always prided itself on providing
unrestricted ColdFusion hosting to developers," said Dan Philips,
Technical Support Representative at CFXHosting. "Our Advanced VPS
is perhaps the largest step towards this that CFXHosting has taken. Giving
a developer access to the ColdFusion Administrator is like giving a car
mechanic access under the hood. We are very excited to be among the first
hosts to offer this."
