In a typical example by a large corporation with a of a traditional stand alone server environment to a Green Grid type setup, the corporation was able to reduce the amount of servers used from 30 to 9! These new servers also are running energy star rated products unlike their predecessors. On top of the reduction of energy used, GeekHosting.com is a Carbon Neutral company, not by buying “Carbon Credits,” but by planting thousands upon thousands of trees to offset our carbon footprint. (We feel this is a much more pro-active way to save the environment and feel very strongly against the promotion of “Carbon Credits”)

Say goodbye to data loss and extended downtime. All data in the Green Grid is automatically mirrored across the grid it resides on. When a server fails, all your data remains available and any affected appliances are automatically restarted elsewhere on the grid. This means your application will be back online within minutes, not hours or days. Best of all, it all happens automatically.

Every Hyper-VDS Solution comes with a guarantee that what you see is what you get. There is absolutely no sharing of memory, space, or core processing power.  Here are our packages:

Geek Hosting uses Windows Hyper-V for their virtual solutions and we do this to benefit the customer’s experience and performance.  Hyper-V, unlike all competitors, does NOT allow the over selling of their services.  Windows VPS Hosting allows the customer to control their own virtual dedicated server for the fraction of the cost of a full stand alone server.  You have all the abilities of a regular server and have full admin access to the server at all times, and can choose the software you install as you go.

That’s right, we have been talking a bit lately about the Window Hyper-V hosting and how GeekHosting.com has been offering these new solutions to one and all.  GeekHosting.com is beyond excited to finally offer all of our customers and the rest of the world something we have been testing and working on for quite some time. Windows Hyper-V was an amazing release and allowed us to bring you the best possible solution without worrying about overselling or server bottlenecks. Geek Hyper-VDS is a solution that really fits every company’s needs. Whether you are the eCommerce site that needs security of your own server but just don’t have the budget to pull it off, or if you are the major corporation that needs multiple instances with the security and the clustered blanket,GeekHosting.com has the right answer for all your needs.

But what exactly is Microsoft Hyper-V technology?
Hyper-V is a virtualization platform that provides reliable and scalable platform capabilities along with a single set of integrated management tools to manage both physical and virtual resources. Hyper-V is a thin layer of software between the bare metal hardware and the Operating System (OS) that allows multiple instances of an OS to run (virtual machines), unmodified, on a single physical server at the same time. Hyper-V virtual machines are scalable, reliable and highly available and can be managed from a central management interface. A key feature of Hyper-V is the virtualization of multiple operating systems, including Windows and Linux, on the same server, allowing users to consolidate systems into a single environment without losing control, security or performance. This is a true hypervisor-based platform. Hyper-V also offers large memory support and provides backup/restore, system snapshots and easy transition of virtual servers from one physical server to another.

So what’s so great about Windows Hyper-V R2?  For starters it has limits.  Simply put, it limits the amount of VMs (Virtual Machines) you can put on a single node (physical server) so you don’t mess things up.  Why is this good?  Why would we want those limits?  Great questions, and the answer is very simple.  GeekHosting.com has NEVER been a fan of the “Unlimited Plans” and “Overselling” servers for the sake of a few extra bucks.  Hyper-V polices us for the benefit of our customers.  We will NEVER oversell, EVER!

One might wonder why the owner of a hosting company would be so excited about that, but I personally hate slow servers, upset clients, and long nights transferring accounts off of a dying server.  Hyper-V I love thee so much.

I will be writing more on my love for the new systems and the latest news with GeekHosting.com, for now if you would like to know more about Hyper-V, then just click HERE.
