Virtual Subhosting


Virtual Subhosting, is one of the most powerful features of our Virtual Private Server System. This feature allows you to support multiple domain names that each resolve to their own unique subdirectories on a single Virtual Private Server. In other words, you can host "bob.com" and "jim.com" on the same VPS, each with its own domain name and unique site content. You can also offer each subhosted customer their own unique FTP login with access to their own subdirectory and e-mail addresses using their own domain name.

This feature is offered free of charge for the Virtual Subhosts you maintain. For performance reasons, we have established guidelines with regard to the number of Virtual Subhosts you should place on a single VPS. Keep in mind that these guidelines are suggested such that the performance of your own server, and the other sites that you subhost on the server, is not compromised.
FreeBSD Standard:   5 low volume subhosts

FreeBSD & Solaris Pro:   25 low volume subhosts

FreeBSD & Solaris Pro+:   60 low volume subhosts
When used correctly, Virtual Subhosting offers you a powerful, low-cost product that you can use to get your "foot in the door" with prospective clients. You can use Virtual Subhosting to provide clients with a small sample site for $10 to $20 per month, later upgrading them to their own full Virtual Server as their needs expand.

We will add a new domain name (Virtual Subhost) to an existing Virtual Server for a one time $25 setup fee per domain name. You can request an additional domain name for a Virtual Server by using our Order Processing System.
