Solaris Virtual Private Server FAQ

1. Can I upgrade from a FreeBSD Virtual Private Server to a Solaris Virtual Private Server?
   Yes, you can upgrade; however, the process is not automatic. In order to upgrade, you will have to order a Solaris Virtual Server, transfer your content, files, configurations, etc., move your domain name, and then terminate your existing Virtual Server. In the near future, we will have a 'Shadow' process much like the one we currently use for migrating from BSD/OS to FreeBSD.

2. Where are the Solaris Virtual Servers housed?
   The Solaris Virtual Servers are available in either the San Jose, California Data Center or the Dulles, Virginia Data Center.

3. What are the details of the Solaris Virtual Server?

   Hardware
   SPARC Ultra AXI 440 MHz
   1 GB RAM
   36 GB drives

   Software
   Operating System: Solaris 8
   Web Server: Apache 1.3
   FTP Server: ProFTP
   Mail Server: sendmail

4. How many subhosts can the Solaris Virtual Servers support?
   The same subhosting recommendations for the FreeBSD Virtual Servers apply to the Solaris Virtual Servers.

   Solaris Standard: 25 subhosts
   Solaris Pro: 60 subhosts

   Of course the same guidelines and limitations of subhosting also apply to the Solaris Virtual Servers. The Server Administrator is responsible for managing the load created by multiple subhosts.

   Although the Solaris VPS will support subhosts, the intended purpose of this product is to support a single user with more complex web site requirements.
