Selecting a Hosting Plan
The Virtual Private Server platform is an ideal Hosting Platform for E-Commerce. We recommend the FreeBSD or
Linux VPS Starter or Basic plans as a starting point.
Why the Verio Virtual Private Server platform recommendation? For just a few of the following reasons:
- Performance and Reliability
- Dollar for dollar you cannot beat the Verio VPS the original and only true Virtual Private Server. Verio invented the technology and is still the leader.
- Scalability
- The FreeBSD or Linux VPS scales well as your business grows without busting the budget.

- The Linux VPS can easily be configured to pass PCI Compliance Scans
For more robust high traffic sites we recommend the Managed Private Server platform.
