IcEWoLF Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hey HawkHost, what are your VPS server specs? CPU type mainly. Also CPU speed specs too. last question, what type of virtualization software do you guys use? Xen,OpenVZ,Virtuzzo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 All of our servers are listed at http://www.hawkhost.com/network/serverlist -- on that page just look for anything under the 'Virtual Private Server' category. That said all of them are minimum 2 x Intel E5520s with 24GB memory and 4x300GB SAS drives in RAID10 (same specs are shared hosting). A couple of the nodes are E5620 CPUs though. We run everything on OpenVZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcEWoLF Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Some of those machine specs are impressive. No location available in the west coast for VPS? Also if I request a VPS server, is server migration and initial setup done by you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 We only offer VPS services in Dallas, TX and Washington DC at this time. If you purchase cPanel with the VPS and the account(s) you're moving to the VPS are cPanel based we can assist in the migration once the VPS is setup.

IcEWoLF Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Brian, are the VPS servers optimized out of the box or I have to do the optimization's? I want to make sure I get max performance. Also, you guys monitor the nodes to make sure no one is abusing the machines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 The VPS are provisioned as a default install of whatever OS you choose (CentOS is most popular) so there are not any optimizations done to the individual VPS, that'd be up to you. Plus, this lets you optimize the VPS specific to your environment and needs. The nodes themselves are monitored constantly and should an issue occur we're notified right away. Just like our shared services we make sure the servers are performing optimally at all times, so no worries there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
