Q. Can I host as many accounts with on VPS Hosting

Ans. There is no fixed number of accounts you can host on a VPS. You can host as many accounts you wish as long as the space, bandwidth and other resources are available on your VPS. If you purchase a control panel with your VPS, you will be granted an unlimited software license and you can set up as many accounts as you wish. However, that does not mean that every package has the physical resources capable of hosting infinite accounts. We grant you enough resources to set up an ample number of accounts at each package level, but you will find that once you reach a certain level, you will require more resources in order to add further accounts. The types of resources you need will depend on the type of websites you host, and the individual resource requirements of those sites. Because of this, it is difficult to arrive at a specific number of sites you can expect to host. In case you need more resources you can upgrade your account anytime quickly and easily.

Q. I get dedicated IPs with my VPS which will be used to set-up nameservers, So will I be provided the IPs designated for my VPS? And then, with my domain registrar I register new nameservers with the IPs provided?

Ans. Yes the Dedicated IP’s will be used to set-up nameservers. Once you order the VPS with us, the login details regarding your IP’s will be forwarded to you at your registered email id after your VPS is configured/setup.

Thereafter you can assign your private nameservers to the allocated IP’s.

Q. What is the port speed of your VPS and Semi Dedicated Servers?

Ans. All our servers are on a 15 gbps network and each server gets minimum 1 gbps connectivity. Every VPS has a 100 Mbps full duplex shared connection. All connections are DDoS protected, to maintain the faster connection speed to each user.

Q. Can I Run A Game Server on a VPS Server?

Ans. VPS Hosting is manageable if we host 10 - 15 VPS on each node, but if one VPS starts overloading the node due to a game server application or other similar product, then things can become difficult.

You can browse through game server hosting plans at http://www.eukhost.com/game-server-hosting.php.

This solution is completely dedicated for gaming sites hosted on shared as well as a dedicated platform.

Basic configuration will cost £99 per month. You can take a look at http://www.eukhost.com/dedicated-server-hosting.php for more information on our dedicated servers.

You get full root access on the dedicated servers. Minimum network speed each server gets is 1 gbps so it will be perfect for gaming.

Q. Can I restart my Apache server?

Ans : Yes, you can restart your Apache server (VPS Hosting) without affecting or killing other existing processes on your VPS. For this you should use the graceful restart command.

COMMAND : service httpd graceful.
Graceful restart command will not kill any existing apache processes.

If you wish to kill the existing http processes and restart your apache server then use the following command :-
service httpd stop
service httpd startssl

Apache can also be restarted, along with any other service, from WHM. Simply login, and select the service you wish to restart under the “restart services” section.

Q. Is it possible to install additional perl libraries via cPanel?

Ans. If you are on shared hosting or reseller hosting, then you cannot install these perl libraries at your end. You can only install perl modules from your end if you are on a dedicated server or a VPS. If you want, we can install additional perl modules as per your request. All you need to do is open a support ticket or contact our livechat support and we will get this done for you.

Q. How many VPS’s do you host per physical machine?

Ans. We keep 3 nodes in rotation for new signups and we don’t fill more than 15 VPS accounts on any of our nodes, though we have the ability to run 5 - 10 VPS on the configuration we have.

It also depends upon the VPS plans which need to be setup on the node i.e. if we need to setup 5 L-VPS-03 accounts on the node then then we will be able to create only 8-10 VPS.

Q. I want to run two or more websites which would have their own individual control panel? Do you have any hosting plan which I can use in this case.

Ans. Our Reseller Hosting and VPS Hosting plans would be perfect for your requirement. You can setup unlimited accounts with individual control panel access under reseller and VPS plan. All of our VPS Hosting and Reseller Hosting plans are installed with cPanel and WHM. WHM allows you to add, create and manage unlimited number of accounts, and hence you can have multiple sites with their dedicated control panel access.

Q. Because I have not used a virtual server before, I am on a shared one at the moment, I want to know if it looks just the same as a shared one, that is log on and I am presented with cPanel? Where I can add domains etc? Say I had a max of 12 domains hosted what would be your best price?

Ans. A VPS is just like a dedicated server, it’s not so easy to manage a Dedicated Hosting Server as it has many functions and most of the time you will need the help from our technical department to setup different options for you. We are here 24×7 and we will help you with everything you need. Our Reseller Hosting would also be good to get started as that will give you a comfortable WHM panel to setup new accounts and manage your domains and it’s very easy to manage a reseller account as we have flash tutorials for WHM as well as cPanel in our support section. You can opt for VPS Hosting, but if you wish you could have a Dedicated Hosting Server to yourself.

Q. PHP/MySQL version used on VPS?

Ans. We can setup any version of PHP and MySQL for you although the recommend versions are MySQL 5 and PHP 5 if you wish to order a new Virtual Private Server.
