“The Microsoft Hyper-V hosting platform allows Apps4Rent to deliver an improved offering over traditional VPS offerings generally available in the marketplace while still maintaining VPS type price point,” said Wade Dube, Manager, Apps4Rent. “These are fully isolated virtual machines, equivalent of dedicated servers, with CPUs and memory resources of separated from the physical server”.

Advantages of Microsoft Hyper-V hosting over dedicated server are that Hyper-V hosting allows virtualization of multiple operating systems, including Windows and Linux, all on the same server. Hosted Hyper-V virtual machines deliver better availability than dedicated servers because they can be migrated from one server to another with no downtime or can be restored from backup with ease. Hosted Hyper-V virtual machines are also easier to scale without purchasing additional hardware, and more secure because each virtual machine is completely isolated from the hardware and from other virtual machines.

Apps4Rent enhances the Hyper-V hosting with add on managed virtual dedicated server offering and installation and support for the most commonly used applications. Customers can choose to go with managed virtual dedicated server and leave troubleshooting, patching, 24×7 monitoring of services and backups to the expert IT staff from Apps4Rent.
