VPS Questions
Answers to the questions we get most often about virtual private servers, managed VPS and how it compares to shared and cloud hosting.
A VPS is a virtualized server that provides dedicated CPU, RAM, storage, and root access in a shared physical environment. It is isolated from other VPSs and more affordable than a physical dedicated server.
Shared hosting divides server resources among many websites. A VPS provides guaranteed resources not shared with other users, delivering better performance, security, reliability, and root access.
Consider a VPS when your site receives more than 10,000 monthly visitors, requires custom software, loads slowly, runs e-commerce, handles sensitive data, or needs stronger security and isolation.
Basic technical knowledge is useful but not essential. Managed VPS options cover maintenance, security updates, and technical issues. For unmanaged VPS, you should be comfortable with command-line and server administration.
With a managed VPS, we handle maintenance, security updates, monitoring, and support. With an unmanaged VPS, you handle all server tasks. Managed VPS suits teams without IT staff; unmanaged VPS offers more control at lower cost for experienced users.
