Elements
Name	Type	Required	Nillable	Description
cpu_model_name	xsd:string	false	false	For example 'Core 2 some model or another'
default_kernel_i386	xsd:string	false	false	The default kernel set on the server for i386 architectures.
default_kernel_x86_64	xsd:string	false	false	The default kernel set on the server for x86_64 architectures.
host_mem_mb_free	xsd:long	false	false	The memory on the host server available to be allocated to VPSs. Note that RimuHosting may reserve memory on the host. So you may not be able to add all of this memory to your VPS. e.g.
host_mem_mb_total	xsd:long	false	false	The memory size of the server. Older/smaller shared hosts are typically 2-8GB. Newer host servers have 72GB of memory or more.
host_num_cores	xsd:int	false	false	The number of CPUs on the host server times the number of cores per CPU.
host_uptime_s	xsd:long	false	false	How long the host server has been up and running, in seconds. Typically host servers run until it is prudent to put a new version of the Xen hypervisor on them. Or if they hit a hardware error.
host_xen_version	xsd:string	false	false	The version of the Xen hypervisor on the host server.
hostload	zero or N[xsd:float]	false	false	The minutely, 5 minutely and 15 minutely load on the host server. You would typically want this to be as low as possible. When it gets higher (e.g.
is_host64_bit_capable	xsd:boolean	false	false	Whether the host server can run VPSs with 64 bit kernels.
running_vpss	xsd:int	false	false	The VPSs running on the host server. Typically a host server can be very responsive with 6-16 VPS per host server CPU core.
