Untitled Document
VPS mimics dedicated server environments within a shared server. Thus, it combines the best aspects of the two – dedicated resources at an affordable price. A VPS Host splits a single piece of hardware (the parent physical server) into multiple virtual servers using virtualization technology, called a hypervisor. In turn, it creates several separate servers on the Internet. While each VPS customer gets “reserved” resources, such as RAM or CPU, not having to share them with other users, in reality, they are still sharing the physical server with others. In addition, VPS servers are much faster, more reliable, and secure than shared servers. At the same time, this piece of software that emulates dedicated hardware is much more affordable than dedicated servers.
Managed VPS Hosting
Your hosting provider takes care of all server maintenance tasks, including server hardware, operating system, software installation, and security. Managed VPS hosting can be expensive, but it offers a lot of convenience that may be worth the investment. This type of hosting is more suitable for beginners and people who do not have the technical experience necessary to handle maintenance. After the server is set up you will have access to your cPanel account where you can manage your website and applications.

  • Server settings and backups are preconfigured
  • 99.9% uptime with fault-tolerance
  • Scalability. You can easily upgrade server resources like RAM, CPU and bandwidth

Cons
  • Managed VPS hosting is more expensive
  • Since almost all of the technical things will be taken care of by your provider, you will have less flexibility in terms of which plugins and software versions you want to install.

Unmanaged VPS Hosting

You will be responsible for setting up the server, configuration options, maintenance, upgrades, and installation of software.
