VDS/VPS is a virtual dedicated server. It combines all the features of a dedicated server and the flexibility of virtual hosting. If you have a large project with high traffic, using free hosting can lead to problems with the availability of the site. This also applies to cheap mass hosting. VDS/VPS is suitable for serious projects and support of a large number of sites on one server. The ability to customize native software and operating system are the main advantages of a VDS server.
The choice of an operating system (OS) depends on requirements for software to be installed on the VPS.
On Linux VDS, we offer CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD and Gentoo. After purchase, the operating system can be reinstalled automatically from the control panel.
For Windows VDS, we offer Windows Server 2019/2012/2008. After purchase, the operating system can be reinstalled automatically from the control panel.
If you have no experience with server OS, we recommend choosing a plan that includes the ispmanager control panel.
VPS plans should be chosen depending on the requirements of the software, recommendations of technical experts and the purpose of VDS. General overview:
SSD-1 — cheap VDS hosting for testing purposes.
SSD-2 and SSD-3 — low rates that are suitable for hosting one or more small websites, such as company websites;
SSD-4, SSD-5, SSD-6 — plans designed for hosting a large number of websites or sites with high traffic, such as online stores;
SSD-7, SSD-8 — plans for projects that have special requirements to reliability and performance (government agencies, financial sector companies).
ispmanager and cPanel are convenient control panels developed for managing a server and hosting via a user-friendly interface. It allows a VDS administrator to:
— host an unlimited number of websites on the VDS;
— install and configure the required software;
— create databases and users for them;
— add FTP users, upload and download files via web-interface;
— configure mail on the domain, create mailboxes;
— manage website backups and much more.
The SSD-1 price plan is suitable for the minimum, but recommended panel requirements. For experienced administrators, cPanel and ispmanager licenses are available for order and self-installation on any configuration.
All the servers are located in a Moscow-based data center. The Russian data center is designed in accordance with a Tier-3 level of the TIA-942 data center standard, equipped with high-bandwidth channels, and connected directly to MSK-IX internet exchange point.
