Xen Virtualization

Virtualization can save you money and offer more flexibility. The Xen Paravirtualization (PV) technology features virtual private servers (VPS) that are committed to physical hardware compliments of the host machine. Isolated from any other virtual machines that might be running on the host, this gives customers an experience similar to having a dedicated server managed by professionals. This means almost native performance, especially thanks to PyGrub which is featured on every single VPS. Customers can run their own kernel revisions via their own VPS.


SIMPLEXHOST offers an impressive inventory of operating system (OS) templates, so customers can run the OS they want—with almost instant re-installs. VPS shoppers know what they want and what they deserve. The majority of VPS seekers discover that Xen paravirtualization is their technology golden ticket for best performance. You already know the benefits of virtualization. Take it a step beyond with Xen paravirtualization and enjoy the highest quality performance available.
