VPS Portugal

Server location and IP geolocation are key factors in determining a site's Google rating. Netizens are more likely to click on a local site. Thus, if the target customer is based in Portugal, a VPS accommodation in the country itself is the most effective way to ensure fluid access to its services. All this is done by maintaining full control of their costs and being able to evolve without restrictions. Thanks to our teams, active 24/7 on our infrastructure, you can focus on developing your websites and applications as well as expanding your infrastructure.

Our VPS solutions are designed for maximum control and flexibility, delivering excellent price/performance. An access to the root of your virtual server allows you to configure it the way you want. It is accompanied by a simple user interface, equipped with a panel of operating systems (Windows, Linux, etc.) ready to be launched with a click. You also have the ability to increase storage and add additional resources as needed. In addition to geolocation options and additional IP addresses, VPS Portugal solutions are equipped with our Anti-DDoS service to ensure you full protection in case of attack.

A virtual private server (VPS) allows you to host your sites and applications in a fully isolated virtual environment. You can configure and manage it in the way that suits you. You can also deploy your VPS to any OVHcloud datacenter. With datacenters around the world, OVHcloud allows you to carry out your projects wherever you are. With additional low-cost geolocated IP combined with administrator access and many evolutionary possibilities, our VPS easily fits into a global referencing strategy for all growing businesses. 

With a VPS located in Portugal, you can optimize the reach and performance of your websites and applications, geolocating them in the site that most benefits you. All VPS accommodation solutions are available with a choice of 13 geolocations across Europe, including in Portugal. Through the OVHcloud Client Area, you can add up to 16 additional IP addresses. This includes the ability to add multiple IPs to a single virtual server to maximize its international reach and introduce new geographic locations as your organization develops.

A virtual private server (VPS) can be used to host websites (e-commerce, content, media) and software applications (portals, extranets, collaborative solutions, wikis, CRM). Unlike shared hosting, the data is isolated onto a virtual machine which is dedicated to the user.
The VPS is a perfect compromise between web hosting plans and physical servers, combining reliability with the high performance of a dedicated server — but without the difficulty of managing a server's physical hardware.

Using a VPS requires basic knowledge of server administration. This knowledge is essential for managing the operating system (Linux, Windows, PrestaShop or WordPress) installed on the machine, and configuring the applications.

If you would like to get guaranteed resources but don't know how to manage servers, we recommend Performance Web Hosting plans.

Yes. A VPS can be partitioned, and organised to suit your requirements. This means you can use it to host several websites or projects, by allocating a private space to each one. You choose the volume of each space, too. To simplify how you do this, you can install a web hosting control panel like Plesk or cPanel.

VPS solutions do not include domain names or email services natively. These options are available directly from the OVHcloud Control Panel once your VPS is delivered.

Using a VPS is the next logical step up from using a web hosting plan. Virtual private servers offer a wider range of options, and more flexibility in terms of configuration, access and features (root access, Apache PHP.init). You can also install an SSL certificate and any other software you want.
However, we would like to emphasise the importance of choosing the right VPS for you. A VPS needs to be configured in a way that suits your application requirements, and the growth of your business.

A Cloud VPS is a virtual machine optimised and designed to adapt to pre-production and production environments. It is a dedicated environment on which you can host one or more web projects.
The OVHcloud Public Cloud offers a multi-server infrastructure, with high availability for servers. vRack, a private network service, is also available with this solution.

The advantage of a VPS is that you don’t have to worry about hardware management like monitoring the status of hard disks, RAM, and CPU. They are adapted to host most types of web projects that are moderately sized.
We recommend using a dedicated server if you want to manage the hardware yourself, build more elaborate architectures, create an infrastructure that includes a private network (vRack), or deploy complex solutions other than web services.
As a general rule, users with a growing volume of web activity either move up to dedicated servers, or Public Cloud solutions. These services offer more complex, flexible infrastructures that can adapt to a high level of growth.
