More control for growing projects
A virtual private server (VPS) provides a virtualised server environment with allocated resources and more configuration flexibility than many shared hosting plans. It can suit developers, applications, business portals and websites that require custom software or more control over the runtime.
What matters when choosing a VPS
- CPU, memory, storage type and traffic allowances.
- Operating system choices and supported control panels.
- Root or administrator access and your responsibility for updates.
- Backup snapshots, monitoring, firewall and recovery options.
- Network capacity, data-centre region and support response terms.
- Upgrade path and costs as resource requirements change.
Managed or self-managed?
A self-managed VPS offers control but expects you to handle system administration, updates and security. Managed options may include help with routine administration, depending on the package. Select based on your technical capacity and the importance of the application.
