Your own Linux or Windows server that allows you to install any web or database software (which may not be available in the College’s shared hosting environment). Your application(s) will be hosted separately from the rest of the College’s web applications, providing greater performance, dedicated RAM and additional disk space. The Virtual server is placed on redundant computing hardware, which keeps your application responsive during a network, storage, or CPU failure. You will get full administrative access to the server and a suite of web-based monitoring tools. This is an alternative to our shared hosting environment and the $200/year hosting fee for database-backed websites.
