Datarealm Internet Services (DIS), a provider of web hosting services, has introduced a new line of Xen-based virtual private servers (VPS) that can be scaled, over time, to grow with its customers.

The company said that the VPS enables clients to have complete root access and install their own Linux kernel modules to make their VPS specifically tailored to their needs. Additionally, clients are also provided console level access so they can log directly into their system.

In addition, DIS web-based management system allows users to manage and re-image their VPS. If they are experimenting and make a mistake, they can simply click the ‘reimage’ button and they are given a brand new system.

Further, if the clients want to try a different operating system, they can select it from the drop-down menu before choosing the ‘reimage’ option.

The VPS hosting features include, choice of 32 or 64 bit Linux OS; automatically reimage your VPS; dedicated IP address; and guaranteed RAM with Xen technology. DIS services include shared web hosting; dedicated servers; and VPS.

Andrew Auderieth, president at DIS, said: "We’ve been using cloud-type hosting technologies such as load balanced server farms for our shared web hosting environment for more than a decade.

"However, the power to scale and manage these new Xen VPS servers is just unbelievable when compared to older, web-hosting technologies."
