All VPS solutions are not created equal. OpenVZ or Virtuozzo based VPS solutions are more closely related to shared hosting. Cartika VPS servers are legitimate virtualized and isolated instances powered by Citrix Xenserver technology. Each VPS is the equivalent to a dedicated server. Complete and independent OS install. Dedicated resources to just your VPS server (no more fighting for resources). Powerful servers with quad core or hex core CPUs and up to 96 GB RAM. Redundant everything with respect to components on the server. A Cartika VPS is superior to any mid range dedicated server, it will be more redundant, more powerful, more flexible and more cost effective. |
