Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between managed and unmanaged VPS?
With managed VPS hosting, our team handles all server administration including security patches, software updates, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Unmanaged VPS gives you full root access and control, but you are responsible for all server management tasks. We recommend managed VPS for most businesses without dedicated IT staff.
How much RAM and CPU do I need for my VPS?
This depends on your applications and expected traffic. A typical business website with a WordPress installation runs well on 2GB RAM and 2 CPU cores. For busy e-commerce sites or high-traffic applications, we recommend starting with 4GB RAM and scaling from there. Our team can help you size your VPS correctly.
Can I upgrade my VPS plan without downtime?
Vertical scaling (adding RAM or CPU) typically requires a brief restart of your VPS, usually completed in under a minute. Our team can schedule this during low-traffic periods to minimise any impact on your visitors.
Is VPS hosting suitable for running multiple websites?
Absolutely. A VPS is ideal for hosting multiple websites, particularly when you want isolation from other customers and consistent performance. With cPanel or Plesk installed, you can manage dozens of websites from a single control panel.
Do you offer Windows VPS hosting?
Yes, we offer Windows Server VPS plans alongside our Linux options. Windows VPS is particularly useful for applications built on the Microsoft stack, including ASP.NET applications and MSSQL databases. Please contact us for Windows VPS pricing.
