What is a shared server?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A shared server is a server whose resources are shared\nbetween several users. Using a shared server is the best option to start and\nhost your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of web hosting can have drawbacks: Indeed, users\nare not administrators of the server and therefore cannot perform advanced\noperations themselves, such as setting up scheduled tasks, white listing a\nsender emails, or any task requiring access via SSH to the server. Site\nvisitors may be penalized by a possible slowness in loading pages, linked to\ntraffic spikes or possible problems (hacking) on \u200b\u200bother sites present on the\nshared server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a virtual server: VM?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A VM (Virtual Machine) – a Virtual Machine – is a\n“semi-dedicated” machine: It is virtual, because it does not directly\nuse a physical server to operate; it is hosted on a larger physical server\ncalled \u201cvirtualization host\u201d which hosts several virtual machines and provides\nthem with the required resources in terms of processor, RAM and disk space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A VM is identical to a dedicated server for use. The\ndifference is mainly in terms of resources and their flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Performance and Reliability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our virtual servers, coupled with an SSD option, are fast\nand efficient. They are virtualized on Dell servers, the most reliable on the\nmarket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Security<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All our servers benefit from optimal security; they are\ninstalled in a latest generation data center, with all the necessary security\nsystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A VM will involve less security risks than a shared server;\nin fact, the latter hosting (in general) more sites than a VM, there is\nstatistically more risk that it is the target of attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Backups<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With this server, you benefit from an optional backup formula.\nThis allows the backup of your entire server (sites, emails, system, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We manage the implementation of these backups and their\nrestoration if necessary. You can choose the data retention period, as well as\nthe frequency of backups (daily, every 6 hours, etc.). You can also restore\nyour data yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We strongly recommend the implementation of this backup\nformula, which will restore your data. Otherwise, we recommend that you make\nyour own backups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Comfort and Flexibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike a shared server, resources (CPU \/ RAM \/ Disk space)\ndedicated to your machine. These resources are guaranteed, so you are much less\nlikely to experience temporary slowdowns due to the activities of other users\non the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your server is delivered ready to use. Our technical\ndepartment takes care of all the technical manipulations related to its\ninstallation and maintenance of the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your needs change, you can choose to increase or decrease\nthe capacities of your VM: the advantage of this type of machine is that it is\npossible to modify the resources without the need for travel by our\ntechnicians, therefore without cost related to intervention. In addition, these\nchanges can be made with a very short interruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Freedom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can customize your server as you wish, according to your\nneeds and requirements: Installation of specific software \/ packages \/\nextensions, appearance, addition or removal of security rules, advanced\nanti-spam configuration, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can access the server via SSH and execute commands (depending\non your needs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Outsourcing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  • Installation of the system, Plesk and various necessary utilities;<\/li>
  • Configuration and security of access (filtering of connections via iptables and Fail2ban, etc.);<\/li>
  • System and package updates (PHP, Apache, MySQL updates, etc.);<\/li>
  • Plesk update;<\/li>
  • Help for actions on Plesk: Creation of email accounts, databases, implementation of scheduled tasks\u2026;<\/li>
  • Installation and deployment of applications or software (on request, and under certain conditions);<\/li>
  • Implementation of the R1Soft backup system, advice and customization if necessary;<\/li>
  • Log management: advice, conservation of logs and rotation times that can be modified on request;<\/li>
  • Supervision (monitoring) of the machine and services 24\/7, proactive action by technicians;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    7. Assistance and hotline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Virtual servers as well as dedicated, benefit from a\nhigh-end service: privileged technical assistance is included, with an\navailable and responsive contact (who knows and knows you) to help you and\nanswer all your questions. 24\/7. An emergency line is accessible for all\nrequests in the evening and on weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    8. Economy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    VMs allow you to take advantage of all the advantages of a\ndedicated outsourced server at a lower cost: it is no longer necessary to\nacquire very expensive hardware and to manage your own servers yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, the installation, configuration and\nadministration of the servers are entrusted to experts, which represents a\nsaving of manpower and time, therefore a saving for businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can also install several applications on your VM without\nany additional cost and thus offer the applications of your choice to your\nemployees (Nextcloud, different CRM or CMS, etc.). We can also install and\nmaintain these applications for you, if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, by outsourcing your facilities, you will reduce\nyour carbon footprint and become more eco-responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    9 . Plesk license and free resource management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    A virtual server makes it possible to host several domains\non the same server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Plesk 10 domains license is included in the price of your\nvirtual server, so you can host 10 domains for free on your server and freely\nconfigure the resources for each domain. You can also increase the number of\ndomains on your Plesk license by opting for a Plesk 30 domains license or\nunlimited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Resource management for each domain is therefore free, you\ncan create as many subdomains, mailboxes, FTP account, databases\u2026 as you wish.\nThe only limits are the disk space, memory and processor of your VM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    10. Better availability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We guarantee internet access of your server via our network\nat more than 99.95%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our technicians continuously monitor all of our servers. A\ncheck of the main services is carried out by default every 5 to 15 minutes, if\nan anomaly is detected, a technician intervenes immediately or comes back to\nyou if necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
