What is a Managed Virtual Private Server?
If you need more power and control than a shared hosting account offers, but not quite as much as a dedicated server, consider a Managed Virtual Private Server (VPS). They're a great solution for small-to-medium-sized businesses who are butting up against the limits of their shared hosting accounts, but don't need to jump all the way to a dedicated server. Managed VPS accounts are more affordable than dedicated hosting, as well, because they share server resources with other Managed VPS accounts (though it's a much smaller number than a shared hosting account). However, because of the way we've created each Managed VPS account, you have full control (i.e. root access) to the server space. We also offer the following features on our Managed VPS accounts: Root Access To give you as much control as possible over your Managed VPS, we provide root access to the server. This lets you optimize the server's configuration to best fit your needs. Import cPanel Shared Hosting Accounts If your Managed VPS uses cPanel and you have an existing site on a Iwebslog cPanel shared hosting account, you can easily import it into your VPS (more info). Seamless Upgrades If you find that you need a more powerful server, we offer in-place upgrades that require no work on your end (more info). Disaster Recovery Backups We keep backups of your server that we can use to restore your server's hard disk to a previous state. This restoration erases all other data on the server, but it can help you recover from serious issues. To prevent needing these backups, though, we always recommend keeping separate backups. We create and maintain maintain these backups for free, but there is a fee to have your server restored using one. Patching If your server uses cPanel® or Windows®, its built-in patching services can help maintain your server's software. Basic Security To protect your server from being taken offline by Distributed Denial of Service attacks, we harden оur network and implement multiple layers of security. Network & System Monitoring We continually monitor your Managed VPS server's hostnode for any issues. If we detect any issues at all, our team of network professionals are notified immediately and begin working to resolve the issue. |
