Virtual Servers
|
How It Works
The Virtual Server System is based on the idea of multiplexing a single UNIX server into multiple virtual machines or multiple virtual servers, each with its own IP address and domain name. When a request is received, the Virtual Server System determines which virtual server will service the request based on this unique IP address and then invokes the appropriate service to respond to the request.
By sharing the UNIX server (and the high speed DS3 bandwidth), you save
thousands of dollars on the hardware, personnel, and time required to install,
maintain, and service a dedicated connection (which for a typical business is no faster than a T1). Furthermore, the Virtual Server System offers tremendous Internet connectivity via multiple DS3's linked directly to the VerioNet fiber backbones.

What You Get
The core services of the Virtual Server System- WWW, FTP, Email, and POP- are all completely configurable. For example, your virtual server includes an entire httpd directory tree comprising in part of your own cgi-bin, configuration files (httpd.conf, et al), and log files (access, error, and referer logs). Thus you can customize and configure your virtual server's WWW service to meet your specific needs (and meet them immediately) since you have complete control of your virtual server. Similar flexibility is afforded for the other virtual services.

CGI Library
The CGI library is meant to offer solutions for the basic scripting needs of our customers. The CGI library includes friendly advice and help setting up CGI scripts such as imagemaps, send comments cgi, guestlists, search engines, and counters (and more). The scripts are absolutely free and include
source code.
Java applets and javascripts can be easily installed on the Virtual Server System. Many third party applications are also supported by the Vtual Server System.
