Apollo VPS Hosting Review

Get a dedicated IP, CPU, memory, and storage without the cost of a dedicated server plan. Apollo VPS hosting customers get added email control and protection with their own, dedicated Sendmail client as well, instead of being lumped onto a shared Sendmail client (an easy way to get banned from search engines because of some other webmaster's wrongdoing). Apollo VPS Hosting's self-stated modus operandi is "access, economy, security". If that's what you're looking for, then look no further than Apollo Hosting VPS.

Probably the main feature that stands out for Apollo VPS Hosting ahead of its competition is that it offers a full suite of Windows-based servers with the Plesk control panel for the same price as Linux-based servers. Many people who require Windows-based servers running Windows 2003 will find it refreshing to get top-notch servers from Apollo Hosting VPS with a full suite of support and backup services available to them for the same price as Linux. So if you have Windows based applications, ASP.net requirements Apollo VPS Hosting may be the right company for you.

If you are looking for a more powerful and reliable alternative to shared hosting, but are not ready to get your own dedicated server, then Apollo VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting is for you. It is less expensive than dedicated server hosting but has many of the same features including dedicated CPU, dedicated storage, and dedicated memory. With a VPS environment, you even get your own Sendmail Client which allows for a much more reliable email environment than the shared Sendmail Client used in the shared hosting environment.
