Hybrid servers are a step up from our VPS option. With a hybrid server you get all the benefits of using a VPS system, except you get your own dedicated hard drive, and a guaranteed (much larger) allocation of RAM at all times. The contention ratio is also much lower, meaning you get more power, more of the time. The Hybrid servers are really just a short step down from the fully dedicated option, but at a much lower price point.
What can i do with my Hybrid Server?
Anything legal! Hybrid servers can be used for anything that a VPS can be used for (mail, database, web server, game server, file server) but with a much larger pool of RAM to access, they can also run much more powerful applications or just more applications and services at once!
What else do I need to know?
Be sure to visit the page on VPS to see all the benefits of moving to a VPS system over a shared hosting platform, and then apply the extra guaranteed RAM and dedicated disk and you should see just why you might want one!
I Need even more power – what can i do?
You can – just like with our VPS systems, adjust the amount of CPU’s available, however you may want to look at our fully dedicated servers.
Draw me a picture please?
The Dedicated Hard Drive and RAM provide your Hybrid server which much more in the way of power and resources – almost that of a fully dedicated box!
How does this compare against a VPS system?
With a VPS hosted package, you get shared access to a disk drive and shared access to the server’s RAM pool.
