Frequently asked questions about VPS Hosting


Usage

What is Virtual Private Server hosting and what are the benefits?

VPS hosting gives you root access to your server, dedicated resources and an isolated hosting environment, so there are no other sites sharing your resources.

That means that, even though there may be multiple virtual machines on the same physical server, you are in an isolated environment with dedicated resources (RAM, Storage) and virtually allocated CPUs that no one else can touch. Plus, with root access, you can make technical changes that would not be allowed on a shared hosting plan. You get the advanced performance, control and flexibility usually reserved for dedicated servers, but at a much lower price.

Still got questions? Check out this video on VPS.

Why do I need a VPS?

VPS hosting sits in the intersection of shared hosting and dedicated servers. Unlike shared hosting, VPS is an isolated environment with dedicated resources, which means you have more processing power and your site loads faster. VPS is best suited for applications that have seasonal traffic spikes or RAM-heavy/CPU-intensive applications. If you are developing a new application that has a complex database and you’re not sure how many visits you’ll get, VPS hosting is the affordable option to start with before you upgrade to a dedicated server.

What is the difference between VPS, Dedicated servers and shared hosting?

We use this analogy on our web hosting page. Shared hosting is like an apartment building – lots of residents in the same building, sharing the same resources, but also very affordable. Dedicated servers are like having your state-of-the-art house, where you’ll pay a lot more, but you also don’t have to share the space or utilities with anyone. VPS is in the middle, like a townhouse, where you have a few residents in the same building, but you each have dedicated resources and are in full control of your home. It costs less than a dedicated server, but still gives you much of the same benefits.

What comes free with GoDaddy VPS?

All of our VPS plans include: 99.9% uptime guarantee, free snapshot, resource monitoring, 1 dedicated IP, root and SSH access, and FTP accounts.

Technical

Will my website performance be affected by other websites on the server?

No. VPS hosting avoids bad neighbor effect by offering a more isolated environment where you get dedicated RAM and storage, along with allocated CPUs.

Which operating system can I configure with a Virtual Private Server?

With our VPS(cPanel/Plesk), you get the option of CentOS 7 and Windows 2016.

What is a snapshot?

A snapshot enables you to quickly create an image of your server that can be restored at that point in time. This might sound similar to backup, but snapshot files are stored on GoDaddy's cloud environment; backup files are not.

Support

What kind of support does GoDaddy provide with my Virtual Private Server?

You get 24/7/365 basic customer support for all the plans. If you need a team of server-admin experts to support you, we offer a fully-managed support plan for an additional charge.
