Server resources may be capped, and you may be unable to install the necessary scripts, apps, or plugins on your website.

If another customer's website starts using too many computing resources, your website's performance will be negatively impacted.

If another customer's website on your shared server gets hacked, your website could also be compromised, and remediation would be beyond your control.

You may not be able to install important applications in your shared hosting environment due to excessive resource requirements.

With shared hosting, you can receive low to moderate amounts of traffic. Traffic surges may require additional computing resources.

VPS gives you the freedom to install any script or app you need, reboot the server, and even allocate resources where required.

With a VPS, the resources on your server are yours alone, so another customer's usage will never harm your website or application performance.

A dedicated IP address keeps your VPS account isolated from others, and you have the freedom to implement any additional security measures you see fit.

You can install applications and other intensive scripts requiring custom server configurations and enhanced computing resources on your VPS.

A VPS can handle heavy traffic surges, and you can upgrade your account at any time if you need additional computing resources.

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is an independent, virtual partition on a physical server. Think of a server with different "containers" within it. When you sign up for HostPapa VPS hosting, you get one of these containers to manage as you wish⁠–install applications or scripts and arrange your web files the way you want. It's private, secure, and flexible.

While you will share some hardware resources with other VPS customers on your server, nothing your neighbours do will affect your container and vice versa. You get many benefits from your dedicated server at a fraction of the cost. On a shared server, you rely on the performance of the platform provided. By choosing VPS, you can select a configuration best suited for your applications, requirements, and growth.

VPS hosting is an affordable option when your business requirements outgrow the capacity of shared hosting. The next logical step is substantially more capacity and control for just a bit more money. Users on a shared web hosting server share the computing resources for the websites, email, and databases. There is no guarantee of CPU or RAM on shared web hosting. VPS hosting provides dedicated computing resources for your websites, files, email, databases, etc., keeping you in complete control. In addition, you get more control with root-level access to perform configurations which are not possible in shared hosting.

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) allows you to easily host sites (storefronts, eCommerce, content, media) and software applications (primarily web: portal, extranet, collaborative solutions, wiki, CRM). Unlike shared hosting, VPS hosting allows you to isolate multiple applications within the same container. VPS offers several advantages over shared hosting. As a VPS user, you can:

Run specific applications that are not allowed in shared plans, such as custom forums.
Access additional capacity⁠—fewer customers share each server.
Enjoy the reduced risk that your business will be disrupted due to a co-hosted site on the server.
Be independent. If another customer compromises their VPS, yours won't be affected.

Users are guaranteed the resources on their VPS server for their web hosting accounts. This means that your account will always be allocated the set amount of RAM, CPU, and disk space you've chosen, regardless of what other users on the server are doing. This allows for greater stability and performance of your website, applications, and email. You also do not share the operating system with any other users, providing better security for your website files.

Two words: cost and maintenance. Running your own dedicated server is possible but comes at a higher cost and is self-managed. You must keep up with patches, hardware upgrades, server maintenance, and storage. You can also rent dedicated servers, but the price is substantially more than that of a VPS.

A VPS offers the perfect compromise between the constraints of a shared hosting plan and the commitment of a dedicated server. You'll have much more flexibility, capacity, and control at an affordable price.

Managed VPS hosting means that we will handle just about anything to do with your server: nuts, bolts, wires, drives, connectivity, racking, storage, security, and so on. All you have to manage is your own container, which you can do using the provided control panel software or through root access. You can install, manage, and operate software/scripts of your choice. Customers who acquire either managed or fully managed service for VPS hosting will receive cPanel/WHM licenses. Installation of non-cPanel supported applications will not be supported by our customer service.

Managed support services include, but are not limited to:

Server boot failures
Email configuration
Package manager installations
Google Apps setup
Firewall setup/troubleshooting
Hardware failures
Network issues
Software upgrades and migrations
Custom Apache configurations
DNS configuration
Security audits
Troubleshooting script configurations/website errors
Perl/PECL module/extension installations
And more

For further information on the differences between managed and fully managed VPS services, please click here.

With HostPapa, you have a choice to either self-manage your VPS or acquire a managed or fully managed service. HostPapa's Managed VPS service includes updating and patching the core operating system, backing up content and data on the server, installing SSL, and more. Fully Managed VPS is a white-glove service that includes a dedicated team of server admins, server setup, DNS setup, content migration, custom firewall rules, and more. For more details about this and other managed VPS services, please click here.

Using VPS hosting is not more complicated than using a shared hosting service, but some prior experience in hosting will be an asset. Remember, a VPS lets you take control of your server space. It's a logical step if you require more computing resources or flexibility than a shared hosting environment can provide.

You must register and use private nameservers with a VPS Hosting plan. If you already have private nameservers, you must update them with your new VPS account's IP addresses. Click here to learn more about setting up private nameservers.

HostPapa has been in the web hosting business since 2006 and has developed a solid reputation as a reliable hosting provider. We also have 24/7 support to help with any issues you may encounter along the way. Our experience, exemplary support, and proven reliable track record will all serve you well as a HostPapa VPS customer.
