Virtual private server (VPS) hosting FAQ

A virtual private server (VPS) is an isolated environment created within a physical server. Unlike shared hosting, VPS hosting provides your business with dedicated resources—without the complexity of managing physical hardware. Each VPS operates independently, offering the security, speed, and scalability of a dedicated server at a fraction of the cost.

With VPS hosting, you’ll enjoy enhanced security and performance, as well as the flexibility to scale resources like CPU, RAM, and storage as your business grows. You get the freedom to run your own operating system, install the software you need, and have full control over your environment—making it ideal for businesses that require more power and customizability.

At Liquid Web, we go beyond just offering VPS hosting. Whether you need a fully managed solution or prefer more control, our experts will guide you through the setup process, ensuring that your VPS is optimized for your business needs. Plus, we handle all the backend physical server management, ensuring uptime, speed, and security, so you can focus on what matters most: growing your business.

Ready to get started? Liquid Web’s tailored VPS solutions deliver the perfect balance of power and simplicity, all backed by our 24/7/365 support. Let’s set up your VPS today.

VPS hosting splits a physical server into several separate virtual servers using special software called a hypervisor. Each virtual server, or VPS, acts like its own independent server.

This means you can install your own operating system, software, and applications on your VPS. Each VPS is isolated from the others, so you have your own dedicated resources like CPU, RAM, and storage, which means better performance and security.

At Liquid Web, we offer VPS hosting with flexible options to fit your needs, whether you want more control or prefer managed services. Our VPS hosting provides fast, secure, and scalable solutions to support your business. Ready to get started? We can help you set up today.

Chat with an expert

VPS hosting uses software called a hypervisor to split a physical server, often a bare metal server, into multiple virtual servers. Each virtual server, or VPS, operates independently with its own operating system and resources. This creates several hosting benefits, including a private, secure space on the server with dedicated resources just for you.

At Liquid Web, our VPS hosting solutions offer the flexibility of dedicated resources and the convenience of a virtual setup. Whether you need control or managed services, we’re here to support your business with fast, secure, and scalable hosting. Ready to get started? Let us help you today.

VPS hosting delivers several important benefits that combine the best features of shared and dedicated hosting. VPS features will vary based on your needs and uses.

Empowerment: You get SSH and root access to your environment, giving you more control.
Customization: You get only the features you want, which even includes the operating system (OS) of your choice.
Growth: VPS hosting provides more bandwidth and storage than shared hosting. Scaling is fast and easy.
Data protection: VPS hosting makes it easy to perform server backups. With Liquid Web, daily backups are standard for VPS environments.
Security: VPS environments are isolated from each other, making them more secure than shared hosting environments.
Versatile: With a VPS, you can host unlimited sites, build an app, host a game server, and even create your own cloud network.

We offer several types of VPS hosting, including self-managed, managed, CPU-optimized, memory-optimized, and general compute-optimized.

Not all VPS hosting plans are managed at Liquid Web. Some of our VPS hosting plans are self-managed to suit every business need. Choose from these options:

New companies on a shoestring budget: If you’re primarily choosing hosting based on budget and don’t fall under regulations like PCI, shared hosting will be a cheaper option. However, there are security and performance trade-offs.
Businesses with zero technical skills: Because VPS provides root access to the server, it’s typically used by companies that have at least a basic degree of IT administration and troubleshooting capabilities. If you do have a skill gap, you can use a managed hosting provider for VPS to handle virtually anything that requires root access. You’ll still need the ability to use cPanel and Plesk for basic tasks.
Enterprises that need an entire dedicated server: If you don’t need to split environments into isolated VMs, dedicated servers will most likely be a better choice for you. For example, streaming, database-driven, bandwidth-intensive sites, and game development typically require a dedicated server.

Chat with an expert

The security of a VPS largely depends on how it’s configured, maintained, and managed. Here are a few key ways to improve VPS security:

Use root access: With root access, you can implement customized security measures, like installing firewalls, configuring intrusion detection systems, and setting up automated security updates to address unique threats relevant to your applications. Liquid Web offers several of these features as add-ons.
Regular updates: Keeping the operating system, software, and applications up to date is crucial. Liquid Web performs regular updates and patches for known vulnerabilities on the operating system level, reducing the risk of exploitation by hackers.
Regular backups: Regular backups ensure that you can quickly restore your system in case of a security breach or data loss, minimizing downtime and potential damage. Liquid Web offers an Acronis backup solution where you can customize frequency, snapshots, and more.

VPS hosting costs depend on a number of factors, like the provider’s level of service and support, performance, bandwidth, and the features included. Overall, you can expect to pay more than you would for shared hosting but less than you would for dedicated.

Less direct control over server management

With a self-managed VPS, your hosting provider handles the basics—delivering the VPS, maintaining the hardware, and running system health checks. The rest is in your hands. You’ll be responsible for server maintenance, monitoring, updates, and making any necessary adjustments.

Pros of self-managed VPS hosting

Cost savings: Save money upfront by taking control of server management.
Total control: Customize your server exactly how you need it, with no restrictions.

Cons of self-managed VPS hosting

Time-consuming: Management tasks divert attention from your core business operations.
Requires expertise: Your IT team will need advanced skills to manage and maintain the server.
Manual updates: OS updates, patches, and security fixes aren’t automated.
Increased risk: Without proactive monitoring, security and reliability can take a hit.

Choosing a self-managed VPS means your IT team takes on the work of a dedicated hosting staff while juggling their regular duties. And unless you’re prepared for round-the-clock server management, the potential for downtime and security vulnerabilities grows. While the upfront savings might seem appealing, businesses often find themselves paying more in the long run due to unexpected downtime or security breaches.

Chat with an expert

A core managed VPS strikes the perfect balance between full control and essential support. While you still have flexibility and autonomy, your hosting provider takes care of critical software installations, updates, and support. This includes OS patches, security enhancements, full web server management, and proactive monitoring with quick response and restoration when issues arise.

Pros of core managed VPS hosting

Enhanced security: Regular OS updates, patches, and security measures keep your server protected.
Proactive monitoring: Your provider watches for potential issues and responds before they cause problems.
Reduced workload: Core server management tasks are handled by experts, freeing up your team.
Reliable support: Full web server support and assistance with core software provide peace of mind.

Cons of core managed VPS hosting

Less control: Some customization and server management are offloaded to your provider.
Higher cost: You pay more for the added management and support compared to a self-managed VPS.

Core managed VPS hosting is ideal for businesses that want a balance between maintaining control and ensuring their server is secure and up-to-date without requiring constant oversight from their in-house team. It offers peace of mind, letting you focus on growth while the experts handle the technical heavy lifting.
