FAQ

What is a VPS?

A VPS is a virtual private server, which offers a fully-configurable environment. Unlike shared hosting, the data is isolated onto a virtual machine with dedicated resources. It offers the benefits of both a web hosting plan and a physical server, combining the stability and high performance of a private environment with the simplicity of managed hardware.

Why opt for a low-cost VPS?

Low-cost VPS solutions from the Starter range are equipped with an SSD disk, and are specially designed to provide pre-production and test environments at an affordable price.

How do I get started with a VPS?

Want to get your project off the ground? Take a look at our guide on getting started with a VPS. You can choose from a wide range of operating systems, including Linux and Windows (excluding the Starter model), and you can also install a content management system (CMS) like WordPress.

What is the difference between a VPS and a web hosting plan?

Unlike a web hosting plan, a VPS provides you with a dedicated hosting space, with full control over how you manage your environment. Once you have selected an operating system, you can customise the configuration to suit your project. A VPS is perfect if your project requires a very specific type of configuration, or if you are looking to carry out tests.

What is the advantage of using a VPS?

With a VPS, you get full admin access to your environment, and you can also select the exact resources you need for your project to work properly. This means you only pay for what you use, and you can always add more resources whenever you need to do so.

Need more performance?

Want to host your website using WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, or PrestaShop? Or perhaps you want to set up a web hosting control panel like cPanel or Plesk? Explore our Elite models, which offer up to 640GB disk space, 32GB RAM and 8 vCores. They are fully-customisable, and offer 2 Gbit/s bandwidth.
