VPS

What is Cloud VPS Hosting?

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) allows users to take advantage of the latest cloud technology backed by high-performing redundant systems. It gives the same full root access and administrative server control without incurring the costs associated with running a dedicated server environment. VPS hosting is very flexible and can be used for hosting websites, databases, applications, storage, and more. Cloud VPS hosting is the perfect solution if you are looking for an easy-to-use, scalable, and performant option for your hosting needs. VPS hosting is best defined as a hosting solution that offers the affordability of a shared hosting account with the power, flexibility, and performance of dedicated server hosting.

VPS Hosting FAQs:

Learn More about Virtual Private Servers and VPS Hosting:

Typically, a VPS web hosting account with Atlantic.Net is billed hourly, and you only pay for what you use. Plans start at $10 per month billed hourly and scale up to hundreds of dollars, depending upon your specific requirements. Generally, VPS hosting is cheaper than dedicated server hosting.

VPS and VPN are completely different services, but VPS offers much more than a VPN. You can provision a VPS server and set up a VPN using it, which you might say makes VPS a better service than a VPN.

In general, if you only have the need for a few VPS servers and you don’t see your workload continuing to grow, a Cloud VPS server is a great, and cost-effective solution that will most likely meet your needs. That being said, you may still want to take advantage of the added benefits that come with a Dedicated Host. Dedicated Hosts are private computing nodes that are fully dedicated to a single customer's use with no shared resources or noisy neighbors, which can occur with shared hosting plans. This service is ideal for any customer that has a growing need for security, compliance, or a powerful infrastructure, or for a customer looking for the flexibility and cost-effectiveness that comes with having their own physical server or dedicated server computing infrastructure.

All of the Linux Distributions we feature on the Atlantic.Net Cloud have zero licensing costs. The Linux operating system fosters an open-source community, and you will find an abundance of enterprise-grade applications available online that are completely free to use.

However, Microsoft charges a license fee for each Windows Server instance. As your web hosting provider, we take care of the web server licensing process for you and the amount you are billed each month includes the licensing fee.

We provide the following versions of Microsoft Windows Server:

  • 2008 R2 SP1 Datacenter
  • 2012 R2 Datacenter (Desktop Experience and Server Editions)
  • 2016 Datacenter Edition (Desktop Experience, Server, and Containers Editions)
  • 2019 Datacenter (Desktop Experience and Server Editions)

A Cloud VPS is a virtual server hosted on a shared platform with guaranteed system resources (CPU, Disk Space, and Memory). A dedicated host is a physical dedicated server or physical servers that are dedicated to a single user, and the user has all the resources on the server.

The Atlantic.Net Cloud VPS service offers both VPS and dedicated hosts within the same environment, so you get all the perks on either platform. The workload of a VPS server varies from running websites, workstations, or general-purpose servers. A dedicated host is usually used for hosting a significant number of websites or apps, intensive workloads, large numbers of VPS, or large production databases.

Whether you choose a VPS in our Public Cloud or to deploy VPS on your Dedicated Hosts, any Cloud VPS will be available in a matter of seconds after being deployed. If you are interested in learning more about our dedicated hosts and if they are right for you, please contact one of our helpful advisors.

Our cloud platform VPS hosting plan is available in all our Atlantic.Net data centers:

Europe VPS Hosting

Cloud VPS hosting in Europe will be served by our upcoming Amsterdam region data center.

VPS hosting is best defined as a hosting solution that offers the affordability of shared hosting with the power and performance of dedicated hosting.

To recap, shared hosting is when your server shares unreserved resources on a host. Dedicated hosting is exactly the opposite; your dedicated server is reserved solely for you and has 100% access to all resources on the host. A VPS hosting service strikes a great balance between a shared hosting environment and dedicated hosting services, as you get the benefits of having guaranteed resources on a host despite sharing the physical server with other clients. For example, if your VPS comes with 200 GB of storage, you get 200 GB of storage to use exclusively. If your VPS comes with 64GB of memory, no other VPS can use that memory. The resources are always there, no matter what.

Virtual private server hosting also offers the cost benefits of shared hosting, as VPS hosting is only a small percentage more expensive than shared hosting but is usually significantly cheaper than dedicated hosting.

Many businesses search for cheap VPS hosting to save on overhead costs and maximize profit. However, remember that just as you want to keep costs low and maximize profit, and your VPS Host is not an exception.

One area where some lower-quality hosting providers try to cut corners is on their data center infrastructure. For example, a cheap VPS host may not see the need to maintain a redundant network because they do not see it as critical to day-to-day operations. However, without a highly redundant, secure, and well-connected network infrastructure, your website could experience downtime, lags, and not function properly. Another major problem when using low-quality or cheap VPS hosts is that they may oversell VPS platforms, making one physical host machine run too many customers, causing server crashes and/or poor server performance. These hosting providers depend on the unlikelihood of every VPS account using their full resource allocation all at once. However, if performance demands meet the server’s capacity, your website and applications will be reduced to a slow, unresponsive mess.

Always research VPS hosting providers to ensure their service quality is up to your standards.
