Whois & Analysis for onliveserver.com

OnLive was a Mountain View, California-based provider of cloud virtualization technologies.

OnLive's flagship product was its cloud gaming service, which allowed subscribers to rent or demo computer games without installing them on their device.

Games were delivered to OnLive's client software as streaming video rendered by the service's servers, rather than rendered locally by the device.

This setup allowed the games to run on computers and devices that would normally be unable to run them due to insufficient hardware, and also enabled other features, such as the ability for players to record gameplay and to spectate.

The service was available through clients for personal computers and mobile devices, as well as through smart TVs and a dedicated video game console-styled device known as the OnLive Game System.

OnLive also expanded into the cloud desktop market with a sister product, OnLive Desktop—a subscription service offering a cloud-based instance of Windows Server 2008 R2 accessible via tablets.

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtual machine sold as a service by an Internet hosting service.

A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting in which the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone else.

This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware, etc.

There is also another level of dedicated or managed hosting commonly referred to as complex managed hosting.

Complex Managed Hosting applies to both physical dedicated servers, Hybrid server and virtual servers, with many companies choosing a hybrid (combination of physical and virtual) hosting solution.

There are many similarities between standard and complex managed hosting but the key difference is the level of administrative and engineering support that the customer pays for – owing to both the increased size and complexity of the infrastructure deployment.

The provider steps in to take over most of the management, including security, memory, storage and IT support.

The service is primarily proactive in nature.

Server administration can usually be provided by the hosting company as an add-on service.

In some cases a dedicated server can offer less overhead and a larger return on investment.

Dedicated servers are most often housed in data centers, similar to colocation facilities, providing redundant power sources and HVAC systems.

A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web.

Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center.

Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for other servers located in their data center, called colocation, also known as Housing in Latin America or France.

A domain name is an identification string that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority or control within the Internet.

Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS).

Any name registered in the DNS is a domain name.
