Why host with Digital Pacific? You’ll get your own self-managed Virtual Private Server (VPS) housed in our high-security Sydney data centre starting from just $24.82/month.
Every new Digital Pacific VPS comes with ultra-fast, data centre grade SSD storage for best in class performance. We also include class-leading Intel processors in our entire VPS server fleet, providing dependable and consistent performance for your Self-Managed VPS. For superb network level protection, DDOS protection comes standard and getting online is easy with instant deployment upon payment. Setup is free, too.
Why a VPS? A Virtual Private Server works by splitting a single physical server into multiple ‘virtual’ servers. Each VPS has its own set of processes and resource management, and behaves exactly as a stand alone server (e.g. each server can be independently rebooted). This service is suitable for those who’d like a dedicated hosting solution without the total investment of a physical server. Although you can never beat the power of a dedicated server this is a good starting point.

CentOS is an Enterprise Linux distribution based on the freely available sources from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. CentOS is designed for people who need an enterprise class operating system without the cost or support of the prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor.
Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux. Debian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure operating system; it comes with over 25113 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine. Debian is a freely-available open source operating system.
Ubuntu is a computer operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux. Ubuntu is composed of free and open source software distributed under various licenses, especially the GNU General Public License (GPL). Ubuntu delivers a stable, fully supported and secure platform for hundreds of organisations worldwide. Ubuntu Server Edition is an energy efficient, low memory and disk footprint operating system that helps build server functions that respect our environment with no compromise on agility and versatility.
Digital Pacific operates services in five Data Centres around the globe with primary services hosted in Sydney, Australia and redundant infrastructure services in other locations. Sydney is the largest corporate and financial centre in Australia. Sydney is also the major interconnection point for international traffic traversing to and from Australia.
Each data centre operates N+1 across all critical infrastructure with regular testing and maintanance.
We utilise carrier grade equipment from Juniper Networks and Cisco from the borders of our network down to the server access layer. Connecting servers out to the internet we have multiple gigabit IP transit and peering links with our subnets always advertised to a minimum of two providers.
We carefully choose providers based on route selection and reliability.
Transit Providers:
Peering Links:
We are available for private peering or cross connects in Equinix SY1/SY2, and Vocus Sydney DC.
Private links are available from your office directly to your server with us in the major Australian business districts.
When you use any of our services, we provide you with our worldwide redundant DNS locations at no extra cost. All DNS servers are constantly replicated around the world within seconds. If one of our DNS servers was to fault it would automatically fail over to the next one. This is a reason some of Australia’s largest companies utilise Digital Pacific DNS.
Our DNS Server locations are below:
– ns1.digitalpacific.com.au (Sydney – Australia)
– ns2.digitalpacific.com.au (Brisbane – Australia)
– ns3.digitalpacific.com (San Jose – USA)
– ns4.digitalpacific.com (Amsterdam – Netherlands)
As with all VPS providers, Virtual Private Servers do not come with server management by default unless a managed VPS solution has been purchased.
Managed virtual private server (VPS) plans are typically designed for those who don’t have a system administrator either in-house or at call and require specific needs, that are not supported within a shared hosting environment. With a Managed VPS Digital Pacific can configure the set up your server and help with additional support you may require.
Digital Pacific offers VPS’s in two types:
Self Managed is where you manage all aspects of your server environment, including troubleshooting issues(excl. hardware) and configuring all other aspects of the VPS such as Software Firewalls, IDS, and the installation of patches and updates to control panels and the operating system.
We still assist in the initial setup(Server Provisioning) which includes:
All other configuration and day to day management tasks, including troubleshooting issues need to be handled by yourself. If you would like us to troubleshoot issues (not outlined above), this will be charged as custom support at $95/hr.
If you do not feel comfortable managing your server environment to this degree, please choose one of our Managed VPS solutions instead.
All support for third party software should be obtained directly from the relevant software vendor by the VPS customer.
Fully Managed VPS’s include:
Exclusions:
We don’t hide anything from our customers and there are no hidden costs that may surprise you. The problem with many service providers is that there are other costs associated with the plan that may be unclear or undefined. We can guarantee that you will never have to pay any more than the cost of the Plan unless you order extras.
We don’t believe in contract periods, that’s why we don’t lock our customers in. We have found that our customers stay with us because of our service.
Due to our fault tolerant mirrored hardware setup and the high maintenance of our servers and related network, we are confident to offer a 99.99% uptime guarantee. There is no such option as 100% uptime from any service provider.
If you feel the need to either upgrade or downgrade your account, you can simply log in to your online accounts control panel and perform a real time upgrade or downgrade in 3 easy steps. See our support section on how to do this.
Any website hosted with Digital Pacific is supported by all operating systems.
Many service providers put profits over service and reliability by cramming hundreds sometimes even thousands of web sites on the same server. We are totally against overselling server space and have a server structure plan to which we stick to religiously. We understand that web sites and email space need “room to move” as businesses expand, therefore we leave plenty of room on each server for projected maximum growth. Keeping load to a minimum ensures the smooth operation of our servers and your site. This also reduces downtime to almost ZERO.
There are a few options we recommend customer’s consider to assist in securing a VPS. ModSecurity, Suhosin and ConfigServer Security&Firewall applications are a great addition to securing your server when utilising the cPanel control panel software, and these can be installed easily by yourself based on the developer’s instructions. We also have an additional, more advanced server hardening service that can lock your server down even further and offer additional upload and email protections.
