Cloud VPS Hosting

Cloud Server Hosting at InMotion Hosting is a powerful, unmanaged Virtual Private Server solution for tech-savvy users. It offers a blank canvas, allowing you full control over the operating system and web applications without the clutter of unnecessary software. This hosting is built on a high availability infrastructure, meaning your server is replicated across three servers for maximum reliability and uptime. Ideal for those comfortable with Linux and command-line interfaces, Cloud VPS requires you to handle your own maintenance and setup due to the absence of a control panel. This setup ensures your server’s resources are fully dedicated to your website or application, providing a streamlined and efficient hosting environment.

Cloud Server Hosting is ideally suited for developers, system administrators, and businesses seeking a balance between performance, control, and cost. This hosting solution is perfect for those who require the flexibility to customize their server environment to their specific needs while benefiting from the scalability and reliability of cloud technology.

Choosing the right cloud server for your organization demands careful consideration of your business’s unique requirements. Whether you’re navigating through security mandates, governmental regulations, or internal policies against recurring rental charges, understanding what you need from your cloud server is crucial. Before making a decision, thoroughly assess your business obligations and the specific server functionalities you require.

InMotion Hosting recognizes the diversity of business needs and offers the opportunity to create a custom hosting plan tailored specifically to your company’s demands. If your organization has specific requirements or if you’re unsure which hosting solution aligns best with your objectives, we encourage you to reach out.

Ansible communicates directly with servers by sending them modules. These Ansible Modules are small programs written in Python and serve as the resource model for the desired state of the system. Once these modules have run, Ansible removes them.

What makes Ansible so simple to use is that modules are executed easily over SSH and can be managed with simple text files.

The InMotion Hosting UltraStack Playbook that we provide will be the entry point to your Automation.

Three simple steps will get you started:

1. Log into your Control Node
2. Manage your Ansible Inventory

There are many key differences to consider when choosing between a Cloud VPS and Managed VPS Hosting Plan.

• Self-Managed Cloud VPS is the cheaper option but does not have cPanel nor other graphical user interface (GUI) software.
• Cloud Server Hosting plans range from $6-$224/monthly with multiple scaling options, so you only pay for the resources you need.
• You can choose between four operating systems (OSs) – AlmaLinux, Debian, and Ubuntu – and re-OS your Cloud Server at any time. However, there’s no cPanel or other graphical user interface (GUI) for managing the server – just SSH.
• Server OS updates, backups (excluding AMP snapshots), and other server management tasks are your responsibility.
• Unmanaged cloud servers allow you to set up your desired stack from a blank canvas, with complete control over the operating system and web applications installed.
