The Freedom server line represents the most advanced UNIX virtual server system available today, providing a level of freedom, control and flexibility that has never before been possible in a shared hosting environment. Freedom servers are designed to take full advantage of e-commerce solutions. You can use your Freedom server to host a single Web site, or many different sites.
In simplest terms, your Freedom server provides nearly all of the functionality of a dedicated server but at a more economical price because you share physical server resources (hardware) with other customers. Despite the fact that the physical server resources are shared in this way, you can rest assured that your virtual server is isolated from and runs independently of the other virtual servers on the machine. In fact, Freedom server products are virtualized (separated, isolated) to such an extent that it is impossible to tell that there are other Freedom servers on the machine at all.
Your Freedom server comes preinstalled with a variety of the most popular Internet server applications, which power Web, mail, and FTP services, SQL databases, Windows-compatible network file sharing and more. A library of easy-to-install tools and applications is also available to you, which can greatly extend the functionality of your server to suit your specific needs. The Freedom 400x and above also include a collection of nearly 4,000 ready-to-compile software ports which can also be built and installed on your Freedom server.
All of our Freedom servers provide a number of powerful, easy to use administration tools and interfaces that are not even found on most dedicated server products. VAdmin is a Web based administration interface that allows you and your users to perform common functions ranging from changing your password to configuring your email services to assigning user privileges. There's also FATSI, our Flexible Account Testing and Support Interface, which allows you to perform diagnostic tests and administrative functions through a secure console interface.
And as if this weren't enough, the Freedom 400x and above provide you with root-level access, allowing you even greater control and flexibility.
Freedom OS, the operating system that powers your Freedom product, is based on FreeBSD version 4.1. In addition to the applications in our Software Applications Library and ports collection, the vast majority of applications that are designed for FreeBSD will run on your product without a problem. There are a small number, however, that are not well suited for your Freedom server. Be sure to check our list of applications that we've classified as ""unavailable"" before installing an application obtained from a 3rd party source.
