A virtual private server (VPS) is a virtual operating system (or instance) that resides inside a parent server and shares resources with other virtual servers. The parent server divides up resources between all of the virtual servers via software called a hypervisor. The hypervisor creates and runs the VPS instances.
A VPS instance is just like a regular server and is managed through an easy-to-use control panel. Since a VPS duplicates many of the properties of a physical server, it also provides similar functionality and processes.
In a VPS setting, you’ll have full control to resize your server up to accommodate spikes in traffic or scale it down for post-seasonal businesses. The ability to upgrade or downgrade allows you to pay for only the resources you use on the VPS server.

A C6NHosting managed VPS not only provides peace of mind, but also offers a robust combination of additional benefits, including:

• Quick resizing for changes in traffic flow.
• Only pay for what you use.
• Host unlimited sites (based on the resources available).
• Cost-effective hosting solution.
• Contract-free hosting.
• Multiple OS choices available.
• Daily backups (via your Manage Interface).
• SSH and full root access.
• Highly stable and secure.

No, not all VPS hosting plans are managed. Our VPS hosting plans have multiple managed and unmanaged management levels to suit every business need. Choose from these options:

• Fully managed VPS hosting: our primary recommendation, fully managed VPS hosting provides all of the support and assistance you need as a new server owner.
• OCore VPS-managed: if you’re confident in your skills to run your own server and just a little support at times, core managed may be right for you.

We also include multiple management panels to assist you in managing your virtual private server, including:

• cPanel
• Plesk
• InterWorx

Other management panels like Directadmin, Webmin, and CentOS Web Panels are also supported on almost all of our servers.

There are a few ways you can choose the right VPS solution for your needs. You don’t have to hire an expert to find a VPS option that is right for you. Your current hosting provider can provide details about your operating system (OS), central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), and disk usage to help you make an informed decision. Also, any current traffic logs can help narrow down your choice even further!
If you are new to hosting or don’t know your current setup, contact our helpful Solutions Architects! We offer a variety of VPS solutions, including VPS Cloud Hosting starting at $5/mo.

You have several options of operating systems. On our VPS platform, we currently offer the following 64-bit operating systems:

• Alma Linux
• CentOS
• CloudLinux
• Debian
• Fedora
• Windows Server
• Ubuntu

Unfortunately, the VPS hosting platform does not allow the installation of custom operating systems. If the noted operating systems are not the right fit for you, you may want to consider a dedicated server. Our dedicated servers allow for the installation of multiple custom operating systems. Additionally, they provide the ability to fully customize your hosting environment!
