Acumen offer a range of site and server hosting to suit our customer’s needs.
Virtual Servers
Virtual Private Servers (VPS) combine the cost benefits of shared hosting with the security and scalability of dedicated hosting. This is accomplished by providing a virtual server that is provided within a single hardware host. Acumen typically use a technical called Paravirtualisation to leverage the benefits of performance and adaptability. With this approach, we can clone (backup, restore, or relocate) servers within minutes, as well as expand your available hard disk or physical memory (RAM) even faster.
Each VPS that Acumen provide is a self-contained secure operating system, which can not be affected or inspected by neighbouring systems. Customers sing our paravirtual environments have full ‘root’ access, as they would a dedicated server, while only paying for the hardware resources that they need.
Dedicated Servers
For those customers needing the highest security and responsiveness, we recommend a dedicated server. Our dedicated servers provide you with exclusive rental of a server system running any and all services that you require, on an operating system that you choose. Our servers are equipped with 100MBps network cards, enabling your customers to reach your site and experience the fastest possible load times.
