Each HVM is fully virtualized and has a guaranteed amount of RAM, Bandwidth and Disk Space, fully isolated. You can customized your OS via VNC or our control panel in real time. The whole customization or OS installation process is done by you in a complete isolation! Normally the physical server contain only 4 ~ 5 HVM, depends on the capacity of each HVM. With this, you can even have install a virtualization platform in your HVM!

We had recently ordered new server in Falkenstein, Germany. This is mainly the expansion plan to cover the customers from Europe countries. This will give better latency and reduce the route to EU countries.

With this expansion, we ordered server with Hetzner AG, one of the large dedicated hosting provider in Germany with full automation to the end user including of OS reload, emergency rescue….etc. Below is our server spec:

Server Spec
Intel® Core™ i7-920 Quadcore @ 2.66GHz with Hyper-Threading Technology
12 GB DDR3 RAM
1500 GB SATA-II HDD with RAID 1
1 GBit OnBoard NIC connected at 100 MBit (unfortunately Hetzner didn’t provide with 1GE, yet)

You can get the details of the server here http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/eq6/

With this expansion, we are now able to serve the EU customer who which to have closer VPS node to their base and we believe with this hardware node, we able to serve the needs of each customers!
