A: A Virtual Private Server comes with a wealth of resources topped by a set of features such as the choice of an OS or root access. All that makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a secure, fast, and, most importantly, customizable hosting environment that grows together with your business.

Q: What are the differences between shared web hosting and VPS hosting?

A: Compared to shared hosting, a Virtual Private Server gives you exclusive access to server resources. This means that you get plenty of RAM and vCPU power and don’t share them with anyone. Moreover, you can customize server configuration, pick the OS or applications deployed.

Q: Does VPS hosting perform better than shared web hosting?

A: Yes – as you’re the only person accessing the resources, your websites are a lot more stable and can be visited by more visitors. Additionally, you can customize the VPS and configure it with performance and speed in mind, making it even faster.

Q: Do I need technical skills for VPS hosting?

A: A basic understanding of the server environment is recommended but you can buy VPS from Hostinger even if it’s your first hosting ever. Should you need help, you’ll find answers to most questions in our convenient knowledge base and our technicians are always there for you, ready to give you a hand with VPS configuration.

Q: Is my VPS hosting going to be backed-up?

A: When it comes to backups, you have two choices – you can either create a snapshot of the server yourself (takes just a few clicks) or schedule automated Daily Backups using our Daily Backup addon.
