VPS hosting
Control, flexibility and performance — affordably
A Virtual Private Server runs its own copy of an operating system with superuser-level access, so you can install almost any software you need — dedicated resources without the cost of a dedicated server.
Pricing is based on the resources allocated to your machine — CPU cores, RAM, SSD storage, bandwidth and optional add-ons like backups and managed services. We offer a range of plans, from basic set-ups for small websites to high-performance configurations for large applications, monthly or yearly, with discounts for longer commitments.

FAQ
Is a VPS right for you?
Is VPS hosting suitable for beginners?
It can be a little complex for absolute beginners — but with our managed VPS service we take care of maintenance and the technical tasks.
Can I upgrade my VPS resources at any time?
Yes. One of the advantages of VPS is the ability to scale resources up or down as needed, usually with minimal disruption.
How does VPS differ from shared hosting?
In shared hosting your site shares a server (and its resources) with many others. With VPS you get dedicated resources, improving performance and security.
What's the difference between VPS and cloud hosting?
A VPS is usually hosted on a single physical server; cloud hosting uses a network of connected servers for higher scalability and reliability.
