We have been developing this offering for the past several months and our customers who have tried the service have been enormously impressed with its performance. We are offering a fully-managed virtual solution that will give any mid-level dedicated server a serious run for its money.”
Similar to a Virtual Private Server, Managed Dedicated Container Hosting provides users with guaranteed access to server resources and a fully managed hosting environment. Plans start at $69/monthly for at least 512MB of RAM, 25GB of disk space and 25GB of backup storage. A maximum 30 users share each server, powered by 8 Intel Xeon 5430 processor cores with 16 GB of RAM.

LAMP Tutorial for Debian and Ubuntu
You’ve always wanted to set up LAMP on your Debian/Ubuntu server but never knew how, right? Well, now you can. We’ll walk you through setting up LAMP on your server step by step.
Let’s start off by installing Apache 2 and PHP 5.
On Debian:
apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5
On Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5
Once this has run, you will now have accomplished the “LAP” part of “LAMP”. Apache and PHP are now installed, and since you’re on Debian/Ubuntu, Linux is done too.
Let’s test out your PHP set up and make sure it’s working.
Run:
cd /var/www
echo “<? phpinfo(); ?>” > index.php
That command will create index.php with inside of it.
Visit http://yourip/index.php, you should see a PHP info page. If so, you’re good to go.
Now, let’s install MySQL to finish this job up. The following will install MySQL 5 and the PHP module for it.
On Debian:
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql
On Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql
Once this is done, the actual LAMP setup is finished. Now it’s time for a few little tweaks. We strongly recommend setting a MySQL root password. To set a MySQL root password, there’s a simple command to run:
mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
Once this is set, restart Apache and your setup is finished.
The command to restart Apache is:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Your LAMP setup is ready to go! Good luck.
