1. IntroductionA Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtual machine sold as a service. All the VPSes offered by Resello are unmanaged. A VPS runs its own copy of an operating system (OS), and customers may have superuser-level access to that operating system instance, so they can install almost any software that runs on that OS. Our self-managed VPS provides everything you need to support any size and type of hosting busi-ness – instantly. Choose the resources you need and get started in minutes. We’ll set you up with a fully customizable VPS, supercharged with SSD storage and enterprise-class networking equipment. Resello offers numerous VPS images such as Ubuntu, Debian, and centOS and applications such as Joomla!, WordPress and Magento.
