Virtual Private Servers
Starting with version 2.3.1 Final and higher, H-Sphere comes with Virtual Private Server support. It offers a series of advantages and privileges in that you get your own Linux server with root access, whereas in regular user accounts you could only request non-root access from the administrator. You can do the following in your user control panel:
Checking Virtual Server Status
