Managed virtual private servers (VPS) in the cloud is a service where your website or application is hosted on a virtual machine that uses resources from physical servers in a cloud infrastructure. This service combines the benefits of a cloud hosting solution with individual management and support from the provider. This means that you don't have to worry about tasks such as software installation, server configuration, operating system updates, security and monitoring, as these duties are taken care of by us.
This service is ideal for people and businesses who want to take advantage of the power and flexibility of a VPS, but don't have the technical skills or time to manage a server.
The difference between managed VPS, unmanaged VPS, and shared hosting lies in the level of control, technical support, and resources you receive. Here are the main differences:
Managed VPS Server
The provider handles configuration, updates, security, and monitoring, providing the power of a VPS without the need for technical management. You get dedicated resources (RAM, CPU, disk space) that are not shared with other users.
Unmanaged VPS
You are responsible for all aspects of server management – installing software, configuration, security, and maintenance. This requires significant technical skills. Similar to managed VPS, you receive a separate virtual server with allocated resources that are yours only. You have full control over the server, but without provider assistance for management.
Shared Hosting
The provider manages the hosting, but your control over the server environment is limited. Resources are shared with other users, which may impact performance. Control is limited to basic website settings, and you typically do not have access to server configurations.

Resources (RAM, CPU, Disk Space)
RAM: The amount of RAM is crucial for server performance. Ensure that the selected plan offers enough RAM to support the smooth operation of your applications.
CPU: The number of CPU cores determines the speed of processing requests. For busier sites or applications, choose a plan with more CPU cores.
Disk Space: SSD provides faster data read and write speeds, which improves server performance.
Security
DDoS Protection, the plans include protection against DDoS attacks, which safeguards your site from malicious attempts to overload the server.
SSL Certificates
Security Monitoring
Technical Support
24/7 Support: It's important to have access to round-the-clock technical support to resolve issues immediately.

Consultations and Advice
Upgrade of the Current VPS Plan
Increasing resources: We offer upgrades to your VPS plan's resources, such as adding more disk space. Contact us for assistance if needed.
Changing the plan: You may need to upgrade to a higher plan that offers more resources and features. This can be done easily and quickly through your user account using the Upgrade option.
Optimization of Current Resources
Optimizing software: Sometimes the issue can be solved by optimizing your application or website. This may include optimizing code, caching data, optimizing databases, and using more efficient algorithms.
Cleaning up unnecessary data: Remove unnecessary files or data that take up disk space and perform regular database maintenance.
24/7 Support: Providers like us that offer 24/7 support have shorter response times, regardless of the time of day.
Service Level Agreements (SLA): The initial response to a critical incident should be provided within 30 minutes.
Depends on the type of the project: Determine the type of your project – whether it's a personal blog, corporate website, online store, or a complex web application. Different projects have different requirements for resources and performance.
Expected traffic: Estimate how many visits and the level of traffic you expect. High-traffic projects or resource-intensive applications require more resources and power.
Technical requirements: Identify the necessary technologies, platforms, and software. Some plans offer specialized configurations or software, which may be critical.
