VPS Hosting

VPS hosting, or Virtual Private Server hosting, provides a virtual server with allocated resources such as CPU, RAM and storage. It gives you more control over your hosting environment than typical shared hosting and is suitable for websites, applications and projects that need configurable server resources.

Shared hosting places multiple websites on a shared hosting environment, while a VPS provides a virtual server with its own allocated resources and greater administrative control. VPS hosting is a useful option when you need more flexibility or control over your server configuration.

Self-managed VPS hosting gives you control over server administration and configuration. You are generally responsible for maintaining the operating system, installing software, applying updates and managing server security. It is best suited to users who are comfortable administering a server.

The VPS hosting service is advertised with root access, allowing you to administer your server and configure supported software and services. The exact configuration and available management options depend on the VPS plan you choose.

Control panel availability depends on your server configuration and resource requirements. The 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM plan is listed as Linux-only without a control panel. For Windows or a resource-intensive control panel, the page recommends at least 2 GB of RAM.

Consider the number of CPU cores, amount of RAM and storage your applications require. Smaller projects may need fewer resources, while busy websites and resource-intensive applications may benefit from a higher-RAM configuration. Review the specifications of each plan before ordering.
