What is a VPS/V-server?
A VPS is a virtual server with assigned resources and an operating system. It offers more freedom than a ready-made hosting package but also requires more technical responsibility.
VPS, root, shared, and hosting package
- Shared: common platform with limited management
- Hosting package: prepared service for a specific purpose
- VPS: flexible virtual environment with its own operating system
- Root/dedicated server: broader dedicated resources and responsibility
Who is a VPS for?
A VPS suits users who want to operate their own applications, websites, bots, or services and can administer the system or book managed support.
Security, updates, and backups
With an unmanaged VPS, the customer is responsible for secure passwords, updates, firewall, services, and their own backups, among other things. Incorrect configuration or insecure use can cause outages or security issues.
A VPS should only be operated when reliable administration is ensured.
Technical management
Technical management by Xeno Development is available when explicitly booked or agreed. Scope and response framework depend on the relevant offer.
