VPS For Developers

The following payment methods are accepted: bank card (Blue Card, Visa or Mastercard) as well as payment through PayPal and automatic debit (if the account is located in the SEPA zone, which covers 33 countries across Europe).

The choice of a VPS is generally made according to the performance it delivers and consideration of its associated services. Another important factor is the location of the datacentre hosting your machine. A VPS located in Canada and hosted in our Beauharnois (Quebec) datacentre offers you the best possible latency. Low latency results in faster loading of pages and a better user experience. Customers are more inclined to click on a locally based website. Build trust and be close to your customers by choosing a VPS solution with OVHcloud.

To help you launch your project, we recommend reading a technical guide on Getting started with a VPS. In terms of operating systems, you can choose from a wide range that are pre-installed on your server. This includes Linux and Windows (excluding the Starter model), as well as content management systems (CMS) such as WordPress — and web hosting control panels like Plesk and cPanel.

Our VPS range has been designed to adapt to a range of web projects. Virtualisation is a perfect balance between a web hosting plan and a dedicated server, giving you a dedicated environment with the flexibility of the cloud. Your choice is never set in stone, as you can add random access memory (RAM) and disk space at any time.

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.

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.

With our virtual machines, you get high performance to host your WordPress website. Because of their RAM, CPU, storage capacity and scalability, you can manage traffic spikes and adapt your VPS to suit your needs.
