Your questions answered

What is a VPS, and what is it used for?

A virtual private server (VPS) is used for hosting websites (e-commerce, content, visual media) and software applications (portals, extranets, collaborative solutions, wikis, CRM). Unlike shared hosting, the data is isolated onto a virtual machine that is dedicated to the user.

The VPS is a perfect compromise between web hosting plans and physical servers, combining reliability with the high performance of a dedicated server — but without the difficulty of managing a server's physical hardware.

Who are VPS solutions designed for?

Using a VPS requires basic knowledge of server administration. This knowledge is essential for managing the operation system (Linux, Windows, PrestaShop, or WordPress) installed on the machine, and configuring the applications.

Can I host several websites on a VPS?

Yes. A VPS can be partitioned, and organized to suit your requirements. This means you can use it to host several websites or projects, by allocating a private space to each one. You can choose the volume of each space as well. To simplify how you do this, you can install a web hosting control panel like Plesk or cPanel.

Will I get a domain name and email service included with my VPS?

No, OVHcloud VPS solutions do not include a domain name or email service.

How do I choose between a VPS and a web hosting plan?

Using a VPS is the next logical step up from using a web hosting plan. Virtual private servers offer a wider range of options, and more flexibility in terms of configuration, access, and features (root access, Apache PHP.init). You can also install an SSL certificate and any other software you want.

However, we would like to emphasize the importance of choosing the right VPS for you. A VPS needs to be configured in a way that suits your application requirements, and the growth of your business.

How do I choose between a VPS and Plesk web hosting?

With a Plesk web hosting plan, you are provided with a storage space that has Plesk pre-installed. You can manage your websites, but you are not the administrator of the service. You can only use it for managing your projects.
If you choose a VPS, you are the server admin, and OVHcloud has no access to its content. This way, you are free to configure it in whatever way you like.

What are the differences between VPS and Public Cloud solutions?

A VPS is a solution adapted for pre-production and production environments. The OVHcloud Public Cloud offers a multi-server infrastructure, with high availability for servers. vRack, a private network service, is also available with the OVHcloud Public Cloud services. 

What are the advantages of a VPS, compared to a dedicated server?

A VPS hosting account is less expensive than a full dedicated physical server. OVHcloud VPS plans can be customized to meet your needs so you pay for what you want but you do not need to deal with any of the features you will never need.  Many VPS hosting plans are easily scalable. We recommend using a dedicated server if you want to manage the hardware aspects yourself, build more elaborate architectures, create an infrastructure that includes a private network (vRack), and deploy other complex solutions that are not web services.  

Can I increase RAM, CPU, or Disk space after my VPS is delivered?

You can modify RAM, CPU, and Disk, or upgrade to the next tier of VPS through the OVHcloud Manager. But please note that VPS services ordered in data centers outside of the United States regions will not be able to be modified or upgraded after delivery. Please consult our upgrade guide.

*For VPS solutions hosted in Sydney and Singapore: 1TB traffic/month for the Starter and Value ranges, 2TB/month for the Essential range, 3TB/month for the Comfort range, and 4TB/month for the Elite range. Bandwidth is reduced to 10Mbps once the monthly quota has been exceeded. Since our VPS Epyc cannot be deployed in these regions, they are not affected by these restrictions. Please note that VPS services ordered in data centers outside of the United States regions will not be able to be modified or upgraded after delivery.
