Virtual private server (VPS) hosting FAQ

A virtual private server (VPS) is an isolated hosting 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.

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. You can install your own operating system, software, and applications on your VPS.

VPS hosting is versatile and ideal for various needs. Common VPS use cases include hosting websites, running applications, managing databases, and handling high-traffic loads.

Industries such as ecommerce, technology startups, media and entertainment, and financial services often rely on VPS hosting for its security, performance, and flexibility.

If you need assistance, we’ve got you covered. Liquid Web offers 24/7 expert support through phone, chat, and email. Our team is here to help with any questions or issues you might have, ensuring your VPS hosting runs smoothly.

Ready to experience top-notch support? Reach out to us anytime, and let’s get you the help you need.

Yes, VPS hosting is very secure. Each VPS instance is isolated from others, which means your environment is protected from vulnerabilities in other instances.

Unlike shared hosting, where resources and potential risks are shared, VPS hosting ensures that your data and operations remain secure within your private virtual space.

At Liquid Web, we prioritize your security with robust measures and expert support. Ready to safeguard your online presence? Let’s get started today.

Yes, VPS hosting is both fast and reliable. Unlike shared hosting, where resources are shared among many users, VPS hosting gives you dedicated bandwidth and resources. This means you get performance that’s comparable to a dedicated server, ensuring that your applications and websites run smoothly and efficiently.

VPS hosting comes in various forms to suit different needs and technical skills. Explore these options to find the perfect fit for your needs:

Managed VPS: Ideal if you prefer to leave the technical details to us, with expert support and maintenance included
Cloud VPS: Provides scalable and flexible resources, perfect for growing businesses and dynamic workloads. Learn more about our cloud VPS
Reseller VPS servers: Designed for those looking to offer hosting services to others, with features to support multiple clients
Windows VPS: Perfect for .NET applications and RDP needs.

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.

You have more control of your environment with SSH and root access.
You get only the features you want, which even includes the operating system (OS) of your choice.
You get more bandwidth and storage, scaling is fast and easy.
Isolated environments create integrated security and data protection, supported by daily backups.
You can host unlimited sites, build an app, host a game server, and even create your own cloud network.

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.

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.

Liquid Web’s VPS hosting is known for delivering the fastest Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (LAMP) stack performance. Third-party performance analyst firm Cloud Spectator found that our VPS speed is faster than Rackspace, DigitalOcean, and Amazon.

With managed VPS hosting, your provider does the technical heavy lifting, ensuring your server is secure, up-to-date, and running smoothly—from routine maintenance to troubleshooting and software installations.

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