† Processor specifications represent the typical level of performance of a virtual server. Performance is guaranteed to be at least half these levels, and will typically meet or exceed them as we allocate spare capacity where it is most needed.
* Some hosting providers claim to offer unlimited bandwidth, but their customers' experiences appear to vary rather significantly. We, and our customers, prefer our policy of transparency and highly competitive rates on additional bandwidth usage.
You have complete control to choose the operating system, applications and configuration of your machine, and can even upload and boot your own custom disk images.
