Unmanaged Cloud VPS Hosting FAQs

• When should I choose a managed cloud VPS over an unmanaged cloud VPS?

  The difference between a managed and an unmanaged virtual server is the level of support you can expect. On a self-managed plan, you can expect the host to take care of the initial account configuration and give you absolute freedom to handle the server as you wish. On the other hand, a managed deal often includes software installations, maintenance, troubleshooting, and monitoring services that allow you to focus on the site building alone.

• Can I host multiple websites on my unmanaged cloud VPS server?

  Yes, it is absolutely possible to host as many websites as you wish on a single virtual private server. As long as you fit within the confines of your available resources (like disk space) - there is no limit to the number of websites or apps you can host.

  If you want to add a new project but lack resources, you can easily obtain more with a single click of a button.

• How long does it take to activate my cloud VPS hosting with ScalaHosting?

  Your initial server configuration is an automated process, and it takes less than a minute after you complete your order to get the Welcome Email with your credentials and the important information you need to start operating it.

• What kind of technical support can I get on a self-managed plan?

  The nature of the self-managed service implies that there is no support available to assist you during your hosting journey. Still, you can count on your host's operators to take care of the initial server configuration and any possible downtime caused by a problem in your data center.

• Which operating systems can I use on an unmanaged Cloud VPS hosting plan?

  ScalaHosting gives you a wide range of operating system options when you choose an unmanaged server account. Upon startup, you can select between RockyLinux, Alma Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, and a few Windows Server versions. The latter include a licensing fee, which will be added automatically during the order process.
