VPS Web Hosting Services

VPS Hosting, short for Virtual Private Server Hosting, is a versatile solution that balances the benefits of shared hosting and dedicated servers. It involves dividing a physical server into multiple virtual servers, each with its dedicated resources like CPU, RAM, and storage. VPS hosting is ideal for businesses needing more control and resources than shared hosting but without the complexity of a dedicated server.

As the stepping stone between Shared Web Hosting and Dedicated Hosting, VPS Hosting is a reliable and scalable hosting option. With full root access, you can customize your virtualized server environment, install software, and make configurations to fit your specific requirements. VPS hosting also offers enhanced security and isolation, making it suitable for projects handling sensitive data or requiring advanced security.

VPS hosting delivers the performance, control, and scalability growing projects demand. Whether you’re running a website, application, or multiple digital properties, VPS strikes the ideal balance between other web hosting options, offering the flexibility and reliability professionals need to move forward with confidence.

You or your business needs VPS hosting when you have a large website or online application that requires more resources, control, security, and scalability.

Here are some situations where VPS hosting may be necessary:

• Your website or application receives high traffic: If your website or application receives a large amount of traffic, shared hosting may not be able to handle the load. VPS hosting can provide dedicated resources to ensure that your website or application runs smoothly even during peak traffic periods.
• You need more control over your hosting environment: VPS hosting allows you to have more control over your server environment, including installing custom software and configuring settings to meet your specific needs.
• You need greater security: VPS hosting provides a higher level of security than shared hosting because you have your own dedicated resources and can implement your own security measures.
• You need scalability: VPS hosting can be easily scaled up or down to accommodate changing traffic or resource needs. If your website or application falls into any of these categories, then VPS hosting is a suitable choice for you.

Managed VPS Hosting is a plan that offers complete hands-off management of your server. The management of the server such as OS security patches, cPanel or CWP, and WHM updates, is overseen by a team of in-house experts. Managed VPS plans also include Premier 24/7 Live Support, Launch Assist, cPanel, and Web Host Manager (WHM).

Self-managed Cloud VPS has cheaper options, as they do not come with cPanel, nor other graphical user interface (GUI) software for server management, only SSH. These servers are for technical users with command-line capabilities, and who don’t need assistance with their hosting plan.

The number of websites you can run on a VPS depends on the plan you choose and the resources required by each site. A robust VPS web hosting plan can host multiple websites, including those with dynamic content, high traffic, or complex applications. With VPS hosting with cPanel, managing multiple domains is simple, and you can efficiently allocate resources across websites, making it an excellent option for businesses, agencies, or developers.

The traffic your website can handle on a VPS depends on the plan’s allocated resources, such as CPU, RAM, and storage. High-performance VPS hosting is designed to manage more traffic than shared hosting, making it suitable for websites that experience regular spikes in visitors or have consistent high traffic. When you buy VPS hosting from a reliable VPS provider, you’ll get scalable resources that grow with your needs, ensuring your site remains fast and responsive even as traffic increases.

Yes, one of the main advantages of virtual server hosting is the ability to install custom software. With VPS hosting, especially Linux VPS hosting, you have root access to your server, giving you the freedom to install, configure, and run any software you need. This flexibility makes VPS hosting ideal for developers, businesses, and anyone requiring specific software not available on standard hosting plans.

All Managed VPS Hosting plans paired with cPanel or Control Web Panel include free website transfers and server setup through Launch Assist. Launch Assist is a service we offer for our high-end plans to help customers easily transfer or launch your site. A VPS with an added control panel comes with two free hours of dedicated support with a trained SysAdmin who can help migrate or customize your server. Take advantage of Launch Assist for zero-downtime, fully-managed website migrations, and custom server setups with a team of experts.

The choice between cPanel, CWP, or no panel depends on your specific business needs and preferences.

• If you prefer a more standardized and widely used control panel or if you require specific features that are only available in cPanel, then cPanel may be the better choice for you.
• If cost is a major consideration, then Control Web Panel (CWP) may be a better option for your business. Keep in mind, using any control panel can make it easier to manage your website and hosting environment, especially if you have little to no experience in server administration.
• “No panel” refers to the practice of managing a server or website without the use of a web hosting control panel. This requires a greater level of technical expertise and comes with with a higher level of risk as it is harder to manage. No panel can also be more time-consuming than using a control panel if you are not familiar with command-line access.

Our expert Sales Team can help you determine which control panel best serves your needs. Changing your control panel at a later time requires you to purchase a new hosting plan as cPanel and CWP have different operating system requirements. This means that there is no way to swap out the control panel on your existing server environment if you decide it isn’t right for you.
