Managed VPS: A Fast Server We Set Up, Secure and Look After
The same AMD EPYC hardware as our VPS, plus a team that handles security updates, backups, monitoring and speed tuning. You work on your website. We take care of the server under it.
Unfurnished or fully serviced?
A plain VPS is an unfurnished apartment. You get the keys, and the furniture, repairs and locks are up to you.
Managed VPS is a fully serviced apartment. Someone checks the locks, fixes the boiler and takes the bins out. You live there and get on with your work.
You don’t need to know what a firewall rule or a PHP worker is. You need a fast site that stays up, and someone to call when it doesn’t.
What we take care of
Everything on this list comes with every plan. No “premium support” add-on hiding at checkout.
Setup and hardening
We set up the server, lock down access and configure the firewall before your site goes live.
Security updates
Security updates for the operating system, handled by us. You can keep ignoring the “updates available” popup on your laptop.
Daily off-site backups
We back up your server every day to a separate location, and we test the restores. An untested backup is just a rumor.
Monitoring and alerts
Server down at 3 AM? We wake up, not you.
Speed tuning
We tune the web server, PHP, database and cache, so “just add more RAM” stops being the plan.
Free migration
We move your sites from your old host to the new server.
Server and stack support
Problems with the server or the software stack go to our team.
What Managed VPS doesn’t cover
We keep the server healthy. Your code is where we draw the line. These stay with you or your developer:
- Debugging your own code or plugins
- Building custom features
- Problems caused by configuration changes you made yourself
- Licenses for third-party software

Questions about VPS and Managed VPS
What’s the difference between VPS and Managed VPS?
Both run on the same AMD EPYC hardware in the same data centers. VPS gives you an empty server with root access, and everything above the hardware is yours to run. With Managed VPS, our team sets up the server and keeps it secure, backed up, monitored and tuned. Think of an unfurnished apartment versus a fully serviced one.
I don’t know much about servers. Which one should I pick?
Managed VPS. An unmanaged server needs security updates, backups and someone watching it every day of the year. If reading that sentence made you tired, let us do it.
What do you take care of on Managed VPS?
Initial setup and hardening, including the firewall. Security updates for the operating system. Daily off-site backups, and we test that they restore. Monitoring with alerts, so a server down at 3 AM wakes us instead of you. Speed tuning for your web server, PHP, database and cache. Free migration from your old host. Support for problems with the server and the software stack.
What isn’t included in Managed VPS?
Debugging your own code or plugins, building custom features, fixing problems caused by configuration changes you made yourself, and licenses for third-party software. We keep the server healthy. The code you run on it stays with you or your developer.
Can I upgrade from VPS to Managed VPS without moving servers?
[CONFIRM] Yes. Contact our support team and we switch your plan to Managed VPS. Your server, IP address and data stay where they are.
Who handles server problems, and how fast?
On Managed VPS, our team handles problems with the server and the software stack. On VPS, we handle infrastructure problems: hardware, network and the data center. We respond within [SLA: response time] during [SUPPORT HOURS].
