Wire And Light - Green Web Hosting - Virtual Private Servers, VPS

We offer Red Hat Enterprise 5, Ubuntu Server 8, CentOS 5, and Windows Server 2003, and Fedora 9, and others.

We recommend CentOS for maximum performance running in para-virtualized mode. Learn more about this technology here.

Based on an open source project hosted by the University of Cambridge, Xen is currently the best-performing and most secure hypervisor in the industry.

Xen typically has 10 times less overhead than competitive proprietary offerings.

On average, a server will run at a wasteful 5 - 40% utilization. By "breaking up" a powerful server into independant virtual machines, we utilize the entire machine while maintaining very high performance.

Wire & Light VPS is hands-down the best value in zero-emissions VPS. Shop around and compare features! We offer a wide range of features and services, combined with the flexability to custom-tailor your product. Environmental stewardship is what our business is about - you can have the comfort of offsetting carbon emissions - we don't create any!
