Your questions answered

What is a VPS?

A VPS, or virtual private server, is a high-performance, cost-effective hosting solution for managing websites or online applications. Unlike shared hosting, it offers a fully configurable space with dedicated resources (RAM, SSD or NVMe storage, etc.), guaranteeing better performance and enhanced security for your data. Your information is isolated on a dedicated virtual machine, allowing you to use your resources independently from other servers. This type of server sits between a shared web hosting plan and a physical dedicated server, combining the advantages of a dedicated environment without the constraints of hardware management. You can also choose between several operating systems (Linux, Windows) and configure the VPS to suit your needs, for flexible and adapted management.

Why opt for a low-cost VPS?

With their fast, reliable SSDs, our low-cost VPSs, especially those from the Starter range, offer an affordable hosting solution without compromising on performance. Designed for pre-production and test users, they enable developers and small businesses to test their web projects or applications securely and at a lower cost. Their price ensures excellent value for money, with a configurable virtual space that is accessible without exceeding a tight budget.

What are the advantages of VPS hosting?

VPS hosting offers unparalleled flexibility and independence for your web projects, allowing you to precisely choose the resources you need, including processor, RAM, SSD disk space, and more. Unlike shared hosting, a VPS ensures a dedicated, secure environment – perfect for websites that require high performance and full control. With OVHcloud, you get reliable support and optimised server management for service continuity, and high availability for your data. Our services include simplified administration on Linux or Windows, so you can run your VPS independently and efficiently.

What is the difference between a cheap VPS and a VPS Pro?

A low-cost VPS, like our Starter offer, is designed for projects with a lower budget, offering sufficient resources for lightweight applications or test environments. However, a VPS pro has an enhanced performance, including more RAM, NVMe SSD storage, and increased bandwidth, ensuring stability even during traffic spikes. The pro solution also offers better scalability and advanced support options, perfect for high-demand websites and business customers looking for reliable, high-performance web hosting.

What is the difference between a VPS and an SSD VPS?

The main difference between a classic VPS and an SSD VPS is the type of storage: a classic VPS usually uses a standard hard drive, whereas an SSD VPS uses much faster SSD storage. This type of storage considerably improves loading times and the responsiveness of your sites or applications, with optimised data management. SSD VPSs, especially those equipped with NVMe drives, are ideal for users looking for extra performance for demanding services like e-commerce websites or intensive web applications.

How do I get started with a VPS?

Want to launch your web project on a VPS? Our step-by-step guides will help you configure your virtual server and harness its resources. You can choose from several operating systems depending on your specific needs, including Linux and Windows (excluding the Starter model). Plus, you get the freedom to install a content management system (CMS) like WordPress, offering simplified management and full control of your websites and applications. With support options available to help you, getting started with a VPS has never been so easy and flexible.

What is the difference between a VPS and a shared hosting plan?

Unlike shared hosting, where resources are shared between multiple customers, a VPS offers dedicated hosting with an isolated virtual environment, allowing for comprehensive and personalised management. With a Linux or Windows VPS, you are free to choose and configure your operating system depending on the specific needs of your project. This solution is ideal if your project requires a precise configuration in terms of resources (RAM, CPU, SSD disk space), or if you want to carry out tests and experiments without limitations. By opting for a VPS server, you get a more flexible, high-performance hosting plan.

Can the capacity of my VPS be scaled?

Yes, with OVHcloud, your VPS server is fully scalable. Whether you need more RAM, SSD disk space or computing power, you can easily increase your resources to support the growth of your web project. Scalability allows you to adjust your plan without service interruptions and to control your budget in line with the real needs of your application. With an intuitive client interface, you can easily and quickly manage your hosting plan and configure your server for maximum flexibility.

Need more performance?

Want to host your website on a WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, or PrestaShop VPS? Or perhaps you want to set up a web hosting control panel like cPanel or Plesk? Explore our Elite models, which offer up to 640 GB disk space, 32 GB RAM and 8 vCores. They are fully customisable, and offer a bandwidth of
2 Gbps.
