VPS Hosting

A VPS stands for “Virtual Private Server.” Let's break it down: as the name suggests, it is a private server, which means that it will be exclusively yours. Having a VPS service gives you a set amount of resources that you don’t need to share with anyone. It’s kind of like having your very own dedicated or private server, but virtual.

In this case, “virtual” means that a partition on a physical server is dedicated to you. This virtual server gives you the chance to gain root access, install your preferred OS and work on your project with unparalleled freedom.

Although the VPS is self-managed, meaning you are doing all the work inside the server, we take care of the back-end business, manage the physical servers, guarantee speed, uptime, and stability.

VPS hosting plans are self-managed. It gives you all the control over your project, while at the same time, it may require a bit of programming and coding knowledge as you will have to configure the server yourself.

The two services are similar, but there are some fundamental differences. A VPS server will let you create multiple instances on a single dedicated server. In comparison, a VDS or Virtual Dedicated Server will do the same but take up the entirety of the dedicated server.

Virtual Private Server hosting is the perfect price-power option for large projects. It grants large amounts of dedicated resources and the most control while being infinitely cheaper than having your dedicated physical server.

Cloud computing uses resources through a network of interlinked remote servers rather than a single, dedicated machine. Cloud computing takes advantage of the high-speed internet and can compute various demanding applications with excellent efficiency using sophisticated software. This kind of computing can manage, process and store data as a regular server. Several significant benefits cloud computing provides: it is incredibly flexible, seamlessly scalable, resilient and stable and allows smooth migration.

There are a few things that make VPS hosting the best option for specific projects. In short: if you need a lot of resources and unparalleled stability - VPS hosting is for you, but the actual answer is a little bit longer.

First of all, VPS hosting gives you dedicated resources. That means you don’t need to share your CPU power, RAM or disk space. You have an allocated amount that you control at your will, entirely.

The nature of VPS hosting guarantees stability. All resources are carefully allocated to users, so high usage periods will not affect server stability.

Lastly, arguably the most significant advantage of VPS hosting comes at the highest price. You get root access and unparalleled control of the resources granted. That means that you can install a wide range of operating systems, work on resource-heavy projects and do much more than with shared hosting. But sadly, the customer support team will only help you with questions relating to VPS hosting management and other back-end-related queries.

VPS and Shared hosting have some similarities, but they’re fundamentally different kinds of services.

Shared hosting packages target small projects, such as personal blogs or similar sites. Projects that require a lot of resources or heavy traffic could run into problems by using shared hosting. That is why we recommend VPS hosting for larger websites.

On the other hand, VPS hosting provides you with dedicated resources that you don’t need to share. Every virtual private server hosting plan makes sure that you get the highest control of your property. Control your CPUs, Burst RAM, manage root access and use your preferred OS. The downside of VPS hosting is that, while we cover the back-end and server monitoring, maintaining it 24/7, we can provide limited help to your project concerning customer support. We will help you with all VPS hosting and control panel questions, but we won't cover programming, coding, or similar queries.

Virtual server hosting is aimed towards more tech-savvy users. If you need a small website, you’re probably better off with shared hosting or premium hosting.

But if you require a lot of computing power and maximum control, VPS hosting is only second to a dedicated server. Intensive websites, web apps, online game servers, databases, and other complex projects are perfect for a VPS hosting service. VPS hosting provides more control than any other service, as you can install your preferred OS and take advantage of root access.

To use all the power provided effectively, technical knowledge is required. In some cases, you will receive help from our customer support. Otherwise, they will advise you to consult the knowledge base and tutorials.

In the end, VPS hosting grants unmatched control of your experience.

VPS hosting is self-managed. However, our customer support team will do their best to help with billing and general questions. Other than that, you are welcome to use our VPS hosting tutorials renowned for their efficiency and easy-to-follow descriptions.

When you read about VPS hosting, some questions naturally arise. Let's say, if there are multiple users on the same dedicated server, running virtual private servers, will they be able to access my data? That’s a valid question to raise, but in this case, we can happily inform you that you’re safe. All VPS hosting services are safely partitioned by specific software, which guarantees top-notch protection.

Additionally, all Hostinger servers are protected by BitNinja, advanced DDoS protection and other custom-built tools that monitor and protect our entire infrastructure.

All VPS hosting plans provide the user with a dedicated IP address.

Yes, you can! That’s the beauty of a VPS hosting service. It gives unparalleled control over your project! On Hostinger, you can pick between dozens of different Linux-based operating systems to suit your needs.

The best time to turn to VPS hosting is when you have gathered up the technical knowledge you may need for this endeavor or when your shared hosting account no longer provides enough resources for your project, and you need to go bigger!

Of course! We have prepared six different plans that can fit any project. With every growth period, you can nearly seamlessly pick a more powerful plan and upgrade with no downtime at all.

No, at the moment, we only provide Linux OS-based VPS hosting.

Bandwidth limit counter resets to zero, i.e., 1st of every month. If the total VPS bandwidth limit is exceeded, the network speed of VPS is limited to a minimum of 5Mbps.

Once a week, we create a copy of your VPS and store it in our servers, so any time something goes wrong, you can roll back your VPS. When the last backup is created the old one gets deleted.

You can extend backups storage time using the daily backups addon. In addition, you can store one snapshot for as long as you need it.

Note: you would not be able to download automated backups and snapshots directly.

As long as the software does not require modification of your VPS kernel and your server has sufficient memory to allocate, you will have no problems running any typical applications, services, or modules that would run on a dedicated server.

You can set up your VPS in one of the following locations: United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Netherlands and Lithuania.
