Our Managed Cloud plans include a custom hosting control panel for websites and email. The selected plan’s service details define the management included.
You can host multiple websites on a VPS. There is no single website count across our plans: capacity depends on each site’s traffic, software and resource use. A control-panel licence may also set a domain or account limit.
A few busy stores can need more resources than many small sites. Choose enough RAM, vCPU and storage for your sites, then monitor usage as you add projects.
Shared hosting handles the server environment for you and suits sites that use its supported software. A VPS gives you a separate operating-system environment for custom applications, background services and more control over configuration.
Choose a VPS when you need an independent server environment at a smaller starting size. A dedicated server assigns a whole physical machine to your workload.
Yes. Run compatible OpenClaw or Hermes agents, scheduled tasks, API connectors and supporting services on your Linux VPS.
Remote model APIs let your agents call models without running them on the server. Local inference needs enough RAM, processing capacity and any hardware required by the model.
A compatible Linux VPS can run n8n, Vaultwarden, Mautic, Uptime Kuma, Metabase and other self-hosted applications. Choose a plan that meets the application’s requirements, including its database and background services.
KVM means Kernel-based Virtual Machine. It is Linux virtualization technology that can run separate virtual machines with their own operating systems and virtual hardware.
A VM is the virtual machine itself. KVM is one technology used to create and operate virtual machines. Your selected VPS resources determine how much work the virtual server can handle.
Choose a distribution supported by your application and administration tools. Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux are common examples; the selected product determines which images and versions are available.
Yes. Configure the domain in your web server or control panel, then point its A or AAAA records to the VPS address. The domain can stay with its current registrar.
Install your SSL certificate and test the application before switching production traffic.
Yes. Transfer the website files and database, configure the application and test a working copy before updating DNS. Include email, scheduled jobs and recent customer data in your migration plan.
You can move to a plan with more resources as your workload grows. Monitor usage to choose the next size and plan any restart or migration needed for your configuration.
You can access your VPS once payment is confirmed and provisioning is complete. We do not publish one guaranteed activation time for every plan.
Your client area shows when the service is active and provides the access details you need to configure the server.
Backups and paid add-ons are included only when your selected plan explicitly lists them. Otherwise, choose an available add-on or configure your own backup service.
For a self-managed VPS, your team schedules backups and tests restores. Available optional services are shown alongside the relevant plans.
Start with our global VPS plans and select a billing period. Compare the monthly equivalent, payment period and resources with the workload you need to run.
Choose the smallest plan that meets your application’s requirements with room for traffic and background jobs. Managed services and optional licences can change the overall cost.
Choose a plan from our VPS hosting plans, select your billing period and configure the available operating-system options. Review the order summary, then complete checkout.
Once the service is active, use your client-area access details to configure the server and deploy your application.
Our entry-level Cloud VPS Elite plan includes 1 vCPU. Global Linux VPS plans on this page offer 1, 2 or 4 vCPUs, depending on the plan you choose.
The plan cards show the vCPU count alongside RAM and storage. Choose more processing capacity for concurrent requests, builds and demanding background tasks.
The number of included IP addresses depends on the VPS plan; there is no single allocation stated across all three groups on this page. The selected product’s configuration shows its allocation and available additional addresses.
You can host multiple websites on one IP address using your web server’s domain configuration.
A VPS is a virtual server for running applications and services. A VPN creates an encrypted connection between devices or networks.
