VPS Hosting

A virtual private server (VPS) is a virtual machine that lives on a physical server. It runs on its own operating system and gives you complete control over the server environment. VPS is a virtualized server instance that is partitioned into several smaller servers. Each server has its own dedicated resources and capabilities. A VPS is customizable, easily scaled, secure, and more powerful than shared hosting.

VPS hosting is typically provided by a hosting provider with various plans and packages to choose from. A VPS hosting provider gives you access to a physical server that is divided into several smaller servers using virtualization. VPS hosting is an excellent solution for applications and websites that need more flexibility, control, and security compared to what shared hosting can provide.

Shared hosting is included in web hosting plans for clients who want multiple websites hosted on one physical server and share its resource usage, such as storage, RAM, CPU, and bandwidth.

The main difference between a managed VPS and an unmanaged VPS is the level of security and support provided by a hosting company. Managed VPS hosting usually includes a bouquet of services like regular backups, updates, and security that makes it easier for you to manage your virtual server. At NameHero, a managed VPS package means you also get access to 24/7 support from our expert team of SuperHeroes, which you wouldn’t get with an unmanaged VPS.

A managed VPS package is a plan offered by many hosting solutions. Usually, your managed VPS hosting services will include regular backups, website migration assistance, advanced security, and technical support.

By selecting NameHero for your hosting needs, you'll receive complimentary secure socket layer (SSL) certificates for all applications or websites hosted on our VPS packages. Our free SSL offerings, available across a variety of our plans, not only enhance your online credibility but also contribute to improved search rankings.

When a VPS hosting provider offers unlimited bandwidth, this means there is no limit to the amount of data that can be transferred between your managed VPS and the internet within any given period of time. Many of our managed VPS hosting packages include unlimited bandwidth so that you don’t incur any extra costs when transferring data between your managed VPS and the Internet.

A dedicated server is a kind of hosting service where one physical server is made available to you exclusively. A dedicated server can be an alternative to using multiple VPS instances to achieve the same performance.

A managed VPS hosting provider will maintain and manage the infrastructure of their cloud servers. Server management includes hardware and software updates, security monitoring, and technical support. You can rely on NameHero to provide the best possible server management backed by a team of experienced SuperHeroes.

Root access is the level of admin access you have to your cloud server’s files and operating systems. We provide you with full root access, which means you have complete control over your virtual servers.

Most of our customers upgrade from our basic web hosting or reseller hosting to a VPS once their website or customer base outgrows their package. If your website starts using up too much of your allocated virtual or physical memory, our technicians will often recommend upgrading to a VPS to allow all of your traffic to be able to access the website.

All of our VPS hosting packages are managed, meaning we install, secure, and keep the core software updated. This includes the operating system, CentOS 7, the control panel, Web Host Manager with cPanel, and your database engine, MySQL or MariaDB. We also have a 24/7, 365 VPS server monitoring expert support team that is on standby to bring your server back online in case of a failure.

You can completely customize your VPS hostname with NameHero. When you deploy the server, you will be asked to assign the hostname. Most clients use subdomains such as server1.companyname.com or alpha.companyname.com. Your name servers will often share the same domain as your hostname, meaning they would be ns1.companyname.com and ns2.companyname.com.

No, NameHero has a very strict, zero-tolerance adult hosting policy. We do not allow any content that could be considered adult or R-rated.

You will experience many errors across your VPS if you use up all the disk space. Our VPS hosting packages allow you to upgrade your disk space instantly from inside our interface. If you’re on our largest hosting solution, our team will work with you on an additional solution to manage all of your files.
