Frequently asked questions about GoDaddy VPS Hosting.
What is VPS hosting and what are its benefits?
Virtual Private Server hosting (VPS hosting) utilizes server virtualization to create a unique, isolated server space on a physical server that is managed by your hosting provider. VPS hosting offers users high performance, an isolated environment and CPU, RAM and 100% dedicated storage that's not shared with any other websites or apps. Since VPS hosting provides users with dedicated resources, it results in higher performance and security, as well as more flexibility and control over the server.
Advantages of VPS hosting over shared hosting:
• Higher resources and bandwidth/traffic.• Faster load times and unlimited traffic.
• More admin control over security.
• Less vulnerable to hackers.
A VPS allows the admin more control over security hardening and is less vulnerable to hackers in comparison to shared hosting. With shared hosting, if a site gets hacked there’s a greater chance that other websites on the server will also be compromised. Conversely, due to virtual isolation, a hacked VPS on the same hardware, won’t affect surrounding VPS environments.
And with root access, there are no restrictions on the applications you install; you can access and edit the system files, settings, and server logons.
What is the difference between managed vs. unmanaged (self-managed) VPS? And how do I determine which is best for me?
Unmanaged VPS Hosting (also known as “Self-Managed VPS Hosting”) requires advanced technical know-how and basic understanding of Linux and the command line. An Unmanaged VPS hosting plan allows you to configure and update VPS hosting to your exact preference.
Fully Managed VPS Hosting gives you access to a GoDaddy expert who will handle all the tech stuff, freeing up more time for you to focus on your business. It's a good fit for those who don't have the time or know-how to manage their own hosting but require the resources.
Does GoDaddy offer both Linux and Windows VPS Hosting?
Yes, GoDaddy VPS Hosting offers both operating systems. You can choose either a Linux (AlmaLinux) or Windows Server (Plesk Web Pro or Plesk Web Host Edition). Both operating systems offer resources starting at 2 GB RAM up to 32 GB RAM.
What are the most common Dedicated IP use cases and how many IPs are included with each plan?
Dedicated IP addresses can be used use for custom applications, staging sites, email, and other administration tasks.
- Custom software & applications: If you’re running any custom software on your server then you might require a dedicated IP address. Some types of server software will require a dedicated IP to function properly.
- Email deliverability: If you are using domain-based email (i.e., myemail@mydomain.com) then you could potentially run into email delivery issues. Although uncommon, when you use a shared IP address with your email and other uses on the same shared IP do as well, you run a larger risk of you IP being blacklisted or blocked. A dedicated IP is a great way to protect your reputation and ensure all your emails get delivered to the intended recipients.
- Control Panel Management: Separate your sites and your control panel onto two different IP addresses for security and to isolate services.
Additional IP addresses (by customer request only)
- Basic tier – No additional IP address
- 2nd tier – One additional IP addresses
- All other tiers – Three additional dedicated IP addresses
Where are the servers located?
GoDaddy servers are located around the globe. During setup, choose your server location in North America, Europe, or Asia-Pacific.
Are backups included in VPS hosting plans?
Yes. All VPS hosting includes automated weekly snapshots so you can schedule backup time – or create a backup on demand.
How long does it take to provision my server?
Although the average time for us to provision your account will likely be mere minutes, it may take up to 24 hours or more. But, if you need your hosting right away, please call us and we'll do our best to speed things up.

Websites and apps that process credit cards are expected to be PCI compliant.
The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI-SSC) sets standards to protect credit card data. Namely, entities that transmit, process or store credit card information are expected to abide by the standards of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. To accept credit card payments through your website, you’ll need to ensure your customer payment information is safe and that you’re following the PCI requirements. And to simplify this process, third-party products like PayPal Checkout, Square Online Checkout and Stripe Checkout can be added to your website to process payments on your behalf (and keep credit card data off your hosting server). Make sure you’re aware of any additional requirements to keep your business PCI compliant.
If you prefer to process payments directly on your server, we offer PCI-certified products like WooCommerce Hosting.
