What's a Virtual Dedicated
Server? Virtual dedicated servers offer many of the
capabilities and features of dedicated servers, including admin
(root) access and dedicated IP addresses, but at a much lower price.
The customer shares server space with a small number of other
customers. But because each virtual dedicated server is effectively
isolated from other accounts on the server, the user has full
control over the server space.
What's a Dedicated Server? Unlike normal
hosting plans, which put many customers' accounts on a single
server, a dedicated server is reserved exclusively for the account
and usage of a single customer. The dedicated server customer has
exclusive rights to the server's bandwidth, memory and storage
space; performance will not be affected by traffic and usage
patterns of other customers.
Which Server Operating System is right for
you? Your Web server operating system is not necessarily
related to your own computer operating system. The difference is in
how your web site is developed. If you are unsure which type of
hosting server to choose, please contact our customer support
team.

What is eBay Hosting?
eBay Hosting is essentially web hosting that ebay sellers use too host their auction images as well as create a custom store front too sell their products outside of ebay.
Why do you need eBay Auction and Image Hosting?

Can I create my own online store to sell my products?
Absolutely, our hosting plans support OS Commerce (very popular Shopping Cart software). So, in addition to hosting images on your online auctions, you can also drive customers to your storefront where you can sell your products without paying for listing fees.
How much will you save?
You can save a ton on hosting your own images, lets do the math.
eBay image hosting fees
Additional image fee $0.15 X 3 images = $0.45 Supersize image fee $0.75 X 1 images = $1.00 Total cost to host your images for one auction $1.45.
Total Savings with ebay hosting account:
One day of hosting costs $0.26. Therefore your total savings per auction will be $1.19 per auction.
Now let us assume you are a power ebay seller and list 100 auctions per week. The total hosting cost would be $1.82 and the total costs to host all of those images would be $14.50. Therefore your total savings per week will be $12.68.
