Choosing and launching a VPS
Who VPS hosting is for and how to get started
A VPS gives you an isolated virtual environment, guaranteed resources and full root access for websites, APIs, databases and your own software stack.
Self-managed or managed administration
A VPS suits users who need SSH, root access, custom versions of server software, Docker or separate background processes. Before ordering, decide who will be responsible for system updates, backups, monitoring and application security.
If you don't need root access and your team doesn't plan to administer the OS, a simpler alternative is managed VIP hosting.
Migration and further scaling
Before migrating, assess the load on CPU, RAM, disk and network, prepare a backup and check your software stack for compatibility. Switch DNS only after testing the website, API, email and background jobs.
When a single VPS is no longer enough or you need all the resources of a physical machine, the project can be moved to a dedicated server.
