VDS Technology

o completely understand what VDS Technology is, you must first understand the Hosting technologies that the majority of our competitors use. Our competitors choose to use a "Virtual Hosting" technology; which essentially is the Hosting of multiple websites on a single machine that uses the same server software to run each and every website. Websites under a “Virtual Hosting” environment utilize the same web server, mail server, and are located in the same file directory with all other websites. There are security vulnerabilities under this environment that would allow a single compromise to affect the performance and security of the entire machine. “Virtual Hosting” environments also restrict website owner’s access to the server which doesn’t allow for any installs of custom applications.

What is VDS Technology?

Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) Technology fundamentally gives you your own UNIX environment. “VDS Hosting” allows each website to operate independently from all other websites on the same physical machine. Within a physical machine, Virtual Dedicated Servers have their own server software that runs inside an isolated file directory and provides autonomy for each website. Security within a VDS environment is unparalleled to that of the “Virtual Hosting” environment. Any compromise to a VDS would only affect that VDS on the physical machine and not any other VDS that resides on that server. VDS website owners have full control of the environment with administrative privileges and may install additional applications along with creating competitor style “Virtual Hosting” accounts contained by your VDS.

If you're not sure which plan is best for you, our knowledgeable sales team is here to help assess your needs and determine the best solution for you.

Reliability

In a year of Hosting our sites, jumpline’s Web Hosting seems quite reliable considering the fact that its only been down a couple of times during that time. Thanks to their state-of-the-art data center, they can achieve it with ease. They also have been in business longer than most Web Hosting companies and have over 50,000 customers since 1997. Their Web Hosting has never been cheap, but rather the company focus on providing more reliable Hosting for their customers.

Data Center

jumpline Hosting offers one of the most reliable backbones around, thanks to its OC-192 connection with Qwest. The performance of jumpline is on par with that of many of top Web Hosting companies, and their state-of-the-art data center also offers proper cooling and security for their servers, so you can be ensured that your data will be in good hands.

Customer Relations

An email response to jumpline took well over 3 days before we finally received a response, and this is after testing their support for several months, so we know they have not improved. Their customer service responses are also general cover-all situation answers. Oftentimes they would lose the customer’s data and their phone support would not work. This is simply not how Web Hosting business is done.

Control Panel

jumpline utilizes the Sphera control panel. The control panel has the best visual appearance compared to the others we’ve used, however, when comparing features, Hsphere still tops the list. In addition, the Sphera control panel might look good, but it lacks speed. This is one of the slowest control panels that we’ve seen, even on a cable modem. IBM is one of the big corporations that uses the Sphera control panel.
