• Our VPS hardware is maintained by local technicians from our company - this means that any issue, no matter how big or small, is dealt with by our own staff. Unlike other VPS hosts who colocate their hardware thousands of miles away, BigVPS is an offshoot of a colocation provider (colo4jax, LLC), thus we have local access all day every day. Other companies who colocate their gear are typically far away and pay top rates for remote hands (upwards of $150 per hour!).

• Because we also provide dedicated servers, we have a HUGE stock of hardware - this gives us maximum buying power and prevents downtime because we always have spare parts available.

• We offer FREE OFFSITE REMOTE BACKUPS with every plan purchased from this website. Don't be caught without your data - simply ask us for remote backup when you sign up and consider it done.

• We only sell Xen, the most robust VPS software available - Xen requires dedicated memory resources so we *can not* oversubscribe our host nodes. Xen also behaves the most like a dedicated server, allowing you to compile your own kernel and to have full control over your environment. Unlike Virtuozzo and OpenVZ providers, our resources are *dedicated* to our customers. You'll never encounter host swapping or any of the classic deficiencies of those other platforms - insist on Xen!

• We operate our own network infrastructure - our parent company (colo4jax) is a member of a unique club of only 20,000 ISPs worldwide who operate an Autonomous System of networks connected to the global Internet. This gives us the same standing as large global backbones like Level 3, Global Crossing, AT&T, Savvis, MCI/UUNet/Verizon, Qwest, etc. Because of our unique position, we do not have to depend on any other single entity for Internet connectivity.
  

If you're considering a host who can not boast of the same criteria, you should probably consider BigVPS instead.
