What is VPS hosting?
VPS stands for Virtual Private Server, and is an increasingly popular form of web hosting and IRC Hosting. KIRE.net provides a highly customizable Virtual Environment Platform using Linux, that lets you configure your own server complete with root access, without the burden of a dedicated server's upkeep, maintenance, and co-location fees. VPS Hosting is about creating multiple "servers" within one physical server. Each server space is totally separate from each other, and performs just as well as if it were its' own physical standalone server. VPS/VDS hosting is an attractive option for people looking to get the server control offered by a dedicated server at a fraction of the price.

VPS Virtual Private Server Hosting - What exactly can I do with it?
The answer is simple, everything you could do with a dedicated server. Each VPS server within the main physical server can have its own dedicated resources, IP addresses, etc. You can decided exactly which software you want to run within your VPS and you can have your own custom configurations and wont be affected by what anyone else is doing on the same server. You can install, update, and run any package, connect to IRC, run eggdrop bots, or any program or process you desire. Our VPS servers come preinstalled with everything you need to get started, and allow remote SSH access.

VPS Hosting Benefits
For a start, VPS hosting is very secure because all VPS accounts are in their own enclosed private space, separate from any other other customers on the same server. VPS hosting allows maximum configurability and costs less than a dedicated server, this is great if your website has special software requirements that a shared hosting company could not provide adequately.

Do you charge me for the bandwidth I use?
No, unlike most VPS hosting, we're not going to send you a $3,000 bandwidth bill at the end of the month. We understand that bandwidth overage bills can be a headache, and for that reason, we give you Unlimited Data Transfer on all of our VPS servers. What this means, is that you can transfer as much data as you want and we're not going to charge you extra for it. What we do limit is how fast you can transfer the data, which bursts during load times, but you'll always pay the same low monthly fee.
