VDS Web Hosting - Reliable, Secure, Affordable

RefinedMedia has rolled out a ground-breaking concept in web hosting, the "virtual dedicated server" or VDS. A VDS is a simulated dedicated server that runs on a dedicated server. Since multiple VDS's can run on one computer, we can deliver you many of the benefits of a dedicated server at the price of conventional shared web hosting.

More Stable than Shared Hosting
Unlike shared hosting where users on one server vie for the resources, resources are isolated to the VDS. Just like a dedicated server, each VDS has its own independent operating system with isolated instances of Apache (web server), Sendmail (mail server) and all installed software. A crashed application (Apache, Sendmail, MySQL etc.) in another customer's VDS has no effect on your VDS. If another VDS uses all of its allocated resources, it has no effect on your VDS.

None of the dedicated server headaches
Since your VDS runs on RefinedMedia servers, you don't have the hassles of a dedicated server. RefinedMedia takes care of the hardware and operating system. There's no drives, memory or software versions to worry about, we take care of that for you.

Priced liked shared hosting
It's true, a VDS has many of the desirable qualities of a dedicated server, but is priced liked shared hosting. RefinedMedia Networks VDS pricing starts at $14.95 a month, a fraction of the cost for a dedicated server.
