Software Choices

Any of the following software many be selected when you set up your VPS. Many other applications are available upon request. (DTC-based VPS is limited to Apache/PHP/MySQL applications and a few common programs such as SSH, FTP and webstats.)
Programming Languages
For templates with Apache only.
  • PHP - PHP 4 or PHP5 but not both
  • Python
  • Ruby
  • Java - JDK1.5 - Due to the high memory requirements for JDK, we highly recommend running this on a Premium account for performance reasons.
  • Perl - mod_perl
Databases
  • PostgreSQL - latest version (shared database server for Personal and Basic plans)
  • MySQL - latest version (shared database server for Personal and Basic plans)
FTP
Secure FTP (sFTP) is standard with every VPS, however, for those using software like Dreamweaver, we also provide a "regular" FTP server.
  • proftpd
Web Stats
For templates with Apache only. You may choose which web stats program you want to use every time you set up a new website (Apache virtual host).
  • Webalizer - A straight forward and simple stats logging system that will allow you to quickly see your basic web traffic on the virtual host [demo]
  • AWStats - A less complex web stats facility, but at the same time is much more detailed and better layed out [demo]
Email Anti-Spam
  • GreyListing - With this new shielding method you may block out huge amounts of spam.
Other VPS Options
  • AOLServer for OpenACS - For templates with Apache only. Includes the TCL programming language, but does not include OpenACS installation. Due to the memory and CPU load that AOLServer puts on the server, we highly recommend having a Premium-plan server for performance reasons.
