Still have questions?

A VPS, or virtual private server, is a way to split a physical server into different virtual machines. Each of these virtual machines works independently and has its own operating system and resources like RAM, CPU, and disk space. This setup gives you a similar experience to a Dedicated Server, but at a lower cost.

If you’re looking for an easy upgrade from your Shared Hosting account and want to keep using a user-friendly control panel like cPanel, we suggest choosing a Managed VPS account. Our support team can also move your existing website to a Managed VPS at no cost!

If you’re an experienced developer comfortable with using the command line and want root access to fully customize your server, then an Unmanaged VPS is a better choice for you.

Custom Operating Systems – You can easily customize your VPS by choosing from popular Linux operating systems, like Ubuntu, CentOS, or Debian. If you’re working on a project and need to switch to a different version or another OS, you can change and reload your operating system whenever you like.

Custom Software – Your VPS is not just customizable; it’s also very flexible. With full root access, you have administrative control, allowing you to install and run software that may not be available in managed hosting. You also have complete control to boot, shut down, and reboot your server.

Custom VPS Management – Although our virtual private server plans are mainly designed for command line management, you can choose to add cPanel for easier VPS management! cPanel is user-friendly and helps you manage files, databases, email, and websites. Plus, when you add cPanel, you can use Softaculous to install popular software with a single click, including WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Magento, PrestaShop, and more. You’ll receive notifications when new software versions are released and can easily log into your cPanel to update your software with one click.

Custom Data Center Location – We offer worldwide data center location options for even more customization. Select a datacenter near you or your visitors to minimize latency and enhance performance.

Looking for a fully managed hosting solution? Check out our Managed VPS Hosting plans, which include both the easy-to-use cPanel and our Pladinum Management.

Although we don’t manage the server for you, our support team is available 24/7 to help with infrastructure issues like network problems, hardware failures, and questions about our platform.

For software and configuration issues, we offer detailed documentation in our Help section and on our blog. Keep in mind that with an Unmanaged VPS, you are in charge of server management, but we are always ready to assist with the infrastructure.

Sure! Our Unmanaged VPS plans are very flexible. You can easily upgrade your CPU, RAM, and storage in the Customer Control Panel. For most upgrades, we have a live migration option to reduce downtime. If you want to downgrade or switch between SSD and NVMe storage, you’ll need to reinstall. Our support team is here to help you plan your upgrade.

While you handle server security, we offer various features to secure the infrastructure. All VPS plans include constant DDoS protection. You also receive a dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 address, with the option to buy more if necessary. For better server security, we suggest using firewalls, keeping your OS and software updated, and following security guidelines.

Yes, you can run multiple websites or applications on one Unmanaged VPS. The number of sites or apps you can manage well depends on your VPS resources and how demanding your projects are. With full root access, you can set up your server to host different domains, enable virtualization, or use tools like Docker. Just be sure to keep an eye on your resource usage and upgrade when needed to keep everything running smoothly.
