OpenVPS
An OpenVPS provides a complete Linux operating environment with administrative (root) privileges and no limit on the number of user accounts, mailboxes or websites. There are hundreds of packages already pre-installed including popular languages and database servers providing a powerful hosting and development environment. Note that pre-installed packages do not count against your space, so out-of-the-box you receive a fully functional server with no space used.
OpenVPS Pricing - Pay Less and Get More!
OpenHosting uses a Utility Pricing Model, where you only pay for the resources you use. The Utility Rates are applied to per-minute averages measuring Disk, Bandwidth, Memory and CPU and you are billed for the accumulated charges monthly. You can discount your rates by committing to a minimal monthly amount. The minimal commit amount is $19.95.
The OpenVPS set up fee for all commit levels is $15.
Below is a guidance chart that gives you an approximate idea of the pricing when compared with the "traditional" web hosting pricing model. As a specific example, www.modpython.org is a site that receives 400,000 hits/month and hosts a mailman mailing list of 600+ subscribers sending out over 150,000 e-mails a month. The usage charges for this level of usage do not exceed the minimal commit rate of $19.95.
| commit level/ discount |
19.95 / 0% | 29.95 / 5% | 49.95 / 10% | 79.95 / 15% | 119.95 / 20% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ideal for | Small site | Small to Medium site | Medium/Java site | Medium/Large site | Large site |
| Disk space | 2GB | 4GB | 7GB | 12GB | 20GB |
| Bandwidth | 20GB | 35GB | 60GB | 100GB | 200GB |
| Memory | 128MB | 192MB | 256MB | 512MB | 768MB |
| CPU time | 20 hrs | 30 hrs | 60 hrs | 100 hrs | 145 hrs |
Note that in the above table memory and CPU are not limits, they are just amounts that if exceeded will bring the price over the corresponding commit rate.
