would a virtual private server be considered dedicated? You get full root access...then again you are sharing this amoung other customers on one physical server. Then again VPS' are usually marketed as a cheaper alternative to dedicated servers.

*shrug*

dunno, I'm new here :D

I see it as a cheap alternative to deds. So i posted it here, if the mods don't want it here then they will move it.

5GB space and 10GB of bandwidth... hmm, that's an awful big gap. Not sure I can see a company offering an account with 500MB space and 1GB bandwidth.

And you can have your resellers on WHM to resell your 5G monthly transfer ? :)

From my experience with ServerCentral.net's virtual servers, it's not full root access.

For example, you can't bind to priviledged ports and the Apache executable isn't owned by you, so you can't recompile Apache if you need some custom functionality.

I'm not sure whether whw's virtual servers are like that, though.

wow...there may be hope for my previously premiere service yet...

I dont know what kind of setup ServerCentral's is, but mine, and most other, VPS offerings are really root. You compile, run, and do whatever you want in you own little slice of the server. It's like VMware; only the host and the guest OS are the same [in my case FreeBSD 4.7] Linux has FreeVSD along with a few other projects that acheive the same functionality. I'm not familiar with it, but perhaps ServerCentral is running something like that, only locking them down tighter for some reason?
