Memory
RAM (Random Access Memory) stores data the server accesses frequently, improving performance. The more RAM a server has, the less time it will take to access resources, ultimately reducing wait time.
Processor
The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the brains of your server and is where most calculations happen. More cores mean the CPU can process more calculations in faster times than traditional single-core processors.
NVMe storage
Disk space is the physical amount of storage area you have in which to keep vital files. For example, the more space you have, the less you need to worry about finding room for a growing website.
Bandwidth transfer
Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred from one point to another over a certain period of time.

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is an independent, virtual partition on a physical server. Think of a server with different "containers" within it. When you sign up for HostPapa VPS hosting, you get one of these containers to manage as you wish–install applications or scripts and arrange your web files the way you want. It's private, secure, and flexible.
While you will share some hardware resources with other VPS customers on your server, nothing your neighbours do will affect your container and vice versa. You get many benefits from your dedicated server at a fraction of the cost. On a shared server, you rely on the performance of the platform provided. By choosing VPS, you can select a configuration best suited for your applications, requirements, and growth.
VPS hosting is an affordable option when your business requirements outgrow the capacity of shared hosting. The next logical step is substantially more capacity and control for just a bit more money. Users on a shared web hosting server share the computing resources for the websites, email, and databases. There is no guarantee of CPU or RAM on shared web hosting. VPS hosting provides dedicated computing resources for your websites, files, email, databases, etc., keeping you in complete control. In addition, you get more control with root-level access to perform configurations which are not possible in shared hosting.
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) allows you to easily host sites (storefronts, eCommerce, content, media) and software applications (primarily web: portal, extranet, collaborative solutions, wiki, CRM). Unlike shared hosting, VPS hosting allows you to isolate multiple applications within the same container. VPS offers several advantages over shared hosting. As a VPS user, you can:
- Run specific applications that are not allowed in shared plans, such as custom forums.
- Access additional capacity—fewer customers share each server.
- Enjoy the reduced risk that your business will be disrupted due to a co-hosted site on the server.
- Be independent. If another customer compromises their VPS, yours won't be affected.
Users are guaranteed the resources on their VPS server for their web hosting accounts. This means that your account will always be allocated the set amount of RAM, CPU, and disk space you've chosen, regardless of what other users on the server are doing. This allows for greater stability and performance of your website, applications, and email. You also do not share the operating system with any other users, providing better security for your website files.
Two words: cost and maintenance. Running your own dedicated server is possible but comes at a higher cost and is self-managed. You must keep up with patches, hardware upgrades, server maintenance, and storage. You can also rent dedicated servers, but the price is substantially more than that of a VPS.
A VPS offers the perfect compromise between the constraints of a shared hosting plan and the commitment of a dedicated server. You'll have much more flexibility, capacity, and control at an affordable price.
Managed VPS hosting means that we will handle just about anything to do with your server: nuts, bolts, wires, drives, connectivity, racking, storage, security, and so on. All you have to manage is your own container, which you can do using the provided control panel software or through root access. You can install, manage, and operate software/scripts of your choice. Customers who acquire either managed or fully managed service for VPS hosting will receive cPanel/WHM licenses. Installation of non-cPanel supported applications will not be supported by our customer service.
Managed support services include, but are not limited to:
- Server boot failures
- Email configuration
- Package manager installations
- Google Apps setup
- Firewall setup/troubleshooting
- Hardware failures
- Network issues
- Software upgrades and migrations
- Custom Apache configurations
- DNS configuration
- Security audits
- Troubleshooting script configurations/website errors
- Perl/PECL module/extension installations
- And more

With HostPapa, you have a choice to either self-manage your VPS or acquire a managed or fully managed service. HostPapa's Managed VPS service includes updating and patching the core operating system, backing up content and data on the server, installing SSL, and more. Fully Managed VPS is a white-glove service that includes a dedicated team of server admins, server setup, DNS setup, content migration, custom firewall rules, and more. For more details about this and other managed VPS services, please click here.
Using VPS hosting is not more complicated than using a shared hosting service, but some prior experience in hosting will be an asset. Remember, a VPS lets you take control of your server space. It's a logical step if you require more computing resources or flexibility than a shared hosting environment can provide.
You must register and use private nameservers with a VPS Hosting plan. If you already have private nameservers, you must update them with your new VPS account's IP addresses. Click here to learn more about setting up private nameservers.
HostPapa has been in the web hosting business since 2006 and has developed a solid reputation as a reliable hosting provider. We also have 24/7 support to help with any issues you may encounter along the way. Our experience, exemplary support, and proven reliable track record will all serve you well as a HostPapa VPS customer.
