About KalenTech VPS Hosting

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Developed in 2005 KalenTech VPS is a privately owned debt free company with a simple aim ‘to deliver the best vps hosting solution available for small and medium size businesses’. Our virtual private server technology takes the strain out of server management and allows you to concentrate on running your business rather than running the server, all packages come with managed software upgrades to provide a worry free solution.

We realize that the choices we make have a direct impact on the service you receive, where many companies rent a $99 a month server with cheap bandwidth we don’t, we purchase high quality Dell servers, all with Dell’s 4 hour, on site warranty and all located in a high quality Tier 1 datacenter.

Equally as important, we selected our software just as carefully, we chose Virtuozzo as the platform for our Virtual Private Servers after evaluating many options, in our opinion it is the best solution on the market.

Our support packages have been developed to ensure you get the support you need when you need it, no longer do you have to pay a bundled price for a package with support you will never need, our level 1 support package (included as standard with every package) offers 24/7 support desk access, unlimited free reboots, managed upgrades and 30 days installation support, if you require further support we have support packages designed for all types of customers, what we don’t do is build in a cost for support you may never need. This approach allows us to deliver packages at a ‘fair’ price.
