Managed Dedicated Server Hosting FAQs

VPS Hosting starting at just $5/mo

What Is VPS Hosting?

VPS, short for Virtual Private Server, is a type of hosting where multiple companies use isolated environments on a physical dedicated server. These isolated environments are virtual private servers, also known as instances.

Because the servers are virtualized, they do not require physical hardware maintenance. Each VPS mimics the benefits of a dedicated server, offering enhanced security, scalability, and speed.

Introducing Next-Gen VPS Hosting Solutions

Liquid Web VPS Hosting

Your search for the best VPS is over. Liquid Web VPS mimics the benefits of a dedicated server, 
offering enhanced security, scalability, and speed. And every VPS is backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee

What type of VPS hosting does Liquid Web offer?

Liquid Web offers multiple types of VPS hosting, including self-managed, managed, CPU-optimized, memory-optimized, and general compute optimized.

When is VPS not the right choice?

Not all VPS hosting plans are managed at Liquid Web. Our VPS hosting plans have multiple managed and unmanaged management levels to suit every business need. Choose from these options:
  • New companies on a shoestring budget. If you’re primarily choosing hosting based on budget and don’t fall under regulations like PCI, shared hosting will be a cheaper option. However, there are security and performance tradeoffs
  • Businesses with zero technical skills. Because VPS provides root access to the server, it’s typically used by companies who have at least a basic degree of IT administration and troubleshooting skills. If you do have a skill gap, you can choose to use a managed hosting provider for VPS to handle virtually anything for which you’d need root access. You will still need the ability to use cPanel and Plesk for basic tasks.
  • Enterprises who need an entire dedicated server. If you don’t need to split up environments into isolated VMs, dedicated servers will most likely be a better choice for you. For example, streaming, database-driven, and other bandwidth-intensive sites typically require a dedicated server.

When should I use VPS hosting?

In the specific use case of businesses, we recommend VPS for anyone who is:
  • Hosting 1-10 websites
  • Storing company and customer files in a way that’s accessible anywhere in the world
  • Hosting web servers
  • Hosting email
  • Databases
  • Building and delivering cloud-based services for customers
  • Delivering virtual workstations to remote employees
  • Reselling and white labeling hosting
If you’re not sure if a VPS is right for you, our in-house experts can help you determine if it’s the right fit. Start a chat now.

How do I improve VPS security?

But its security largely depends on how it is configured, maintained, and managed. Here are a few key ways to improve VPS security:

Use your root access

With root access, you can implement customized security measures, such as installing firewalls, configuring intrusion detection systems, and setting up automated security updates to address unique threats relevant to your applications. Liquid Web offers several of these features as add-ons.

Regular updates

Keeping the operating system, software, and applications up to date is crucial. Liquid Web performs regular updates and patches known vulnerabilities on the operating system level, reducing the risk of exploitation by hackers.

Regular backups

Regular backups ensure that you can quickly restore your system in case of a security breach or data loss, minimizing downtime and potential damage. Liquid Web offers an Acronis backup solution where you can customize frequency, snapshots, and much more.

Is Liquid Web VPS worth the cost?

VPS hosting pricing depends on a number of factors like the provider’s level of service and support, performance, bandwidth, and the features included. Overall, you can expect to pay more than you would for shared hosting but less than you would for dedicated.

Why does Liquid Web have the fastest VPS hosting?

Liquid Web’s VPS hosting is known for delivering the fastest Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (LAMP) stack performance. Third-party performance analyst firm Cloud Spectator found that our VPS speed is faster than Rackspace, DigitalOcean, and Amazon. Here are a few things we do to ensure your hosting stays blazing fast:

High-performance hardware

Liquid Web VPS is built on our industry-famous servers, equipped with premium-quality disks and SSD drives.

KVM virtualization

We use KVM to create your private virtual environment, and make it accessible through our Cloud Studio interface.

Redundant infrastructure

Our data centers are prepped and ready to handle heavy workloads with N+2 redundancies and much more.

Uptime guarantee

We guarantee 100% uptime on our elite network, and we also guarantee that power is up 24/7/365.
