What is a VPS?
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtualized environment created on a physical server, allowing you to use a dedicated portion of the host server's resources. Unlike a dedicated server, where all resources are allocated to a single user, a VPS shares memory and processing power with other independent VPS instances on the same physical machine. This setup provides the benefits of a dedicated server, such as control and customization, without the need to manage the underlying hardware. VPS solutions are typically more cost-effective than dedicated servers, making them an ideal choice for hosting websites, deploying sandbox environments, gaming, and other applications that require a reliable and scalable environment.
One of the key advantages of a VPS is its scalability. You can easily increase resources such as disk space, RAM, and processing power to meet your growing needs. This flexibility allows you to adapt your server configuration to suit your specific requirements.
You can host your virtual machines in one of our data centers. By selecting a data center that is geographically close to your users, you can optimize webpage loading times and ensure compliance with local data protection regulations.
To enhance your VPS experience, consider these options for improved performance and reliability:
-
Failover IPs: Ensure continuity of service for your systems and applications by switching to a backup IP address if the primary one fails.
-
Geolocated IPs: Improve your international SEO by using IP addresses that are geolocated in different regions, making your site appear closer to users in those areas.
-
Load Balancer: Distribute network traffic across multiple servers to enhance scalability and ensure a highly available infrastructure.
-
Additional External Storage: Expand your infrastructure's storage capacity, making it more scalable and adaptable to your needs.
-
Automatic or Manual Backups: Safeguard your data by scheduling regular backups, either automatically or manually, to protect against data loss.
How Much Does a VPS Cost?
A VPS offers a cost-effective alternative to a bare-metal server, providing high performance in a dedicated and scalable environment. With a VPS, you can enjoy unlimited traffic and bandwidth speeds of up to 2 Gbit/s. The pricing for a VPS starts as low as £4, excluding additional options, making it an affordable solution for those seeking a balance between performance and budget.
