Virtual private servers (VPS) are actually the most popular type of servers because they provide more enhanced performance features than shared hosting and they cost less than a dedicated server.

With VPS hosting, users may share a number of physical resources such as disk space, CPU and RAM, but they will still enjoy the freedoms of having a private server, such as having your own control panel.

A big server is called a ‘node’, and the VPS is just a small part of this node. But a virtual private server still allows users to be in charge, fully, of all their own settings and configurations. This freedom allows you to customize and make any changes or adjustments that you need, as situations arise.

Since a virtual private server it is not actually a physical server, you do not have to worry about space or resources (RAM, CPU, Network bandwidth) as these are in the ‘cloud’ and managed by WWeb Oy.

VPS users still have access to the same resources and features as they would have otherwise, and they still have the freedom to install any application and make changes to those applications. Since you are not actually sharing any hardware, you will not have to be concerned about the physical server maintenance and security – that’s where WWeb Oy’s highly skilled technicians come in!

Our VPS nodes are divided into isolated containers that each have their own set of memory, disk space and CPU power – keeping you in control at all times.

Managed VPS hosting is the ideal solution for both non-technical but also technically savvy people since WWeb Oy takes care of any technical tasks related to the server. In other words, WWeb Oy’s technical team is responsible for managing the server including system upgrades and configuration – your only job is to run your website or online business.

When purchasing a VPS, you will gain administrative access through a control panel to do whatever you want with your server, while WWeb Oy will manage all the hardware, continuously update system software, ensure security, and maintain hardware resources to run according to the VPS package specification.

Unmanaged VPS hosting is different from managed VPS hosting in a number of ways. First and foremost, we are responsible for providing you with the VPS server but everything else is up to you to handle.

WWeb Oy’s only responsibility of the unmanaged plan is to make sure that the server is available and accessible online. Everything else is your responsibility including the configuration of the VPS server and its services.

You can imagine that this is not the job for the average user and even if you have the technical knowledge to do it, it’s always better to leave the technical principles to the expert support staff and concentrate on how to grow your business.

Overall, comparing the two is easy since managed VPS hosting has a lot more advantages than unmanaged hosting.

Managed VPS hosting is as low as €49.90 per month which is very low if you take into account the number of hours you save from having to manage your server.

When you order a managed VPS account, it only takes a couple of hours to have your server up and running in a properly configured manner but this is not the case with the unmanaged server. It may take hours to manually install and configure the required services.

No technical knowledge is required for running a managed server. When you need to do something technical all you have to do is contact support and let the skilled technical operators handle the rest. With an unmanaged server you need to have server administration skills and love working in the command line, otherwise it will be very difficult to administer your server efficiently.

Website security starts from the server security and if you don’t follow strict, secure guidelines, your website will be easily exposed to security risks. A hosting account that is managed by WWeb Oy will have superior security, allowing you to be worry free while running your site.
