Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about VPS Hosting
What is VPS hosting and what are its benefits?
Virtual Private Server hosting (VPS hosting) is a dedicated hosting platform characterized by its high performance, isolated environment and CPU, RAM and storage being 100% dedicated (not shared with any other websites or apps). Unlike shared hosting, VPS hosting results in higher performance, security and 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.
And with shared hosting, when a site gets hacked there’s a greater chance that other websites on the server will be compromised. But with VPS and its virtual isolation, a hacked VPS won’t affect surrounding VPS environments.
Plus, with root access, there are no restrictions on the applications you install. You get free reign to access and edit the system files, settings and server logons.
Why should I choose VPS hosting from GoDaddy?
If you’re looking for credibility and stability in your VPS hosting provider, know that we’re the world’s #1 hosting provider. That means millions of people trust their sites and applications to GoDaddy. We offer high-performance KVM VPS hosting with flexible configurations for every budget, including automated daily backups with scheduling and on-demand, monitoring, alert tools and expert support.
You also get to choose from Linux or Windows operating systems with optional control panels (cPanel/WHM or Plesk Obsidian Webhost Edition). And for those that don’t have the time or skill set to manage their server, we offer Fully Managed VPS hosting or one-time paid task-based services.

What's the difference between Self Managed VPS Hosting and Fully Managed VPS Hosting? How do I decide which is best for me?
Self Managed VPS Hosting requires advanced technical know-how and basic understanding of Linux and the command line. From there, unmanaged VPS hosting plans allow 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 Linux (CentOS or Ubuntu) and Windows server.
How many IPs are included with VPS hosting?
GoDaddy VPS Hosting (with the exception of the Basic plan) includes up to three free dedicated IP addresses to use for custom applications, staging sites, email and other administration tasks.
- Custom software and 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 in order to function properly.
- Control Panel Management: Separate your sites and your control panel onto 2 different IP addresses for security and to isolate services.
- Email deliverability: A dedicated IP protects your reputation and ensures your emails get delivered to their intended recipients. If you’re using domain-based email (i.e., myemail@mydomain.com) you may potentially run into email delivery issues. (Please note: If you use a shared IP address with your email — with other users on the same shared IP address — you run a greater risk of your IP getting blocklisted or blocked.)
Where are the servers located?
GoDaddy servers are located around the globe. Choose your server location during setup in North America, Europe or Asia-Pacific.
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 and the GoDaddy Online Store.
Let’s keep your website or app selling – and PCI-compliant.
