Managed Cloud VPS Hosting

Managed VPS Hosting FAQs

• What is a managed VPS?

  VPS is a type of hosting service where the client gains control of an isolated virtual server account with a dedicated set of resources and independent control. The service comes with professional support from the web host, which can include assistance in software installations, updates, server maintenance, security, and more. For more info about managed VPS main conceptions, how this type of servers work and who they are for, visit our blog post with the title “What is a managed VPS?”.

• What is the difference between managed and unmanaged VPS?

  Managed and Unmanaged VPS solutions are the two main types of virtual server hosting. The difference between them mainly stems from the level of extra support you get from the host.

  Unmanaged services will see you gain full control of a bare-metal machine, allowing you to customize it as you wish with full root access. The managed VPS hosting plans add professional assistance from the trained support team. This includes help with the initial setup, software installations, security improvements, technical difficulties, and more.

• What is VPS for?

  Because of its scalability and customizable architecture, there are many suitable use cases for a VPS server. For example, online shops and high-traffic websites are perfectly suited for a virtual server as it is inherently faster and more secure than the shared hosting environment. As you have full customization control, you can also choose to use the server for any other purposes - gaming, mail services, backups, etc.

• How does a VPS work?

  Acting as a middle ground between shared hosting and dedicated servers, VPS servers take the best out of both worlds. This type of hosting utilizes a process called virtualization to split a physical server into several virtual instances. Each of them gets its own dedicated hosting resources and cannot interfere with the others. You also have full freedom to divide your VPS into as many hosting accounts as you need.

• What is the difference between Shared and Cloud hosting?

  Shared hosting is like living in in an overcrowded tenement with nosy neighbors. It’s cheaper, but you must share everything with hundreds of other users. If one of them is hacked or blacklisted, your risk of being hacked increases significantly.

  The VPS server is like living in your own house with a nice yard. You get 100% control, better security, and speed. It is fully managed, so you can focus on growing your business.

  And with our proprietary in-house solutions, now every website owner in the world can finally have their own cloud VPS with a control panel, daily backups & snapshots, fully managed by experts 24/7/365 at a comparable price to shared hosting, starting at just $9.95 per month.
