What is an unmanaged VPS and who is it for?

Unmanaged VPS hosting is an affordable, virtualized server with dedicated resources available for only one customer (all their websites, applications, programs). The service is perfect for customers having enough technical knowledge to manage the service on their own such as developers, system administrators, agenceies, and DevOps.

What is KVM virtualization and what are its benefits?

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a virtualization technology built into the Linux kernel that allows a physical server to run multiple isolated virtual machines, each with its own dedicated resources. The benefits of KVM are strong isolation, consistent performance, and support for a wide range of operating systems.

What’s the difference between managed and unmanaged VPS hosting?

Managed VPS hosting is cloud-based and comes fully prepared for immediate use, with all performance and security optimizations in place. It includes full technical support covering every aspect of the web hosting service. Unmanaged VPS hosting requires the customer to configure and maintain the server themselves, with technical assistance available only as a paid add-on.

What operating systems and control panels can I choose from?

For operating systems, we currently support Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, CloudLinux, and CentOS. For control panels, you can choose between cPanel and Plesk (paid options), or CyberPanel and aaPanel (free options). You can also opt for a clean OS installation without any control panel.

Can I install my own software stack and applications?

Yes. You can install any software stack or application as long as it is compatible with the operating system installed on your server. We do offer installation assistance as part of our paid add-on service for technical support.

What level of support is included with unmanaged VPS hosting?

Unmanaged VPS hosting includes support for the underlying hardware, network connectivity, and virtualization platform. All software installation, configuration, optimization, and troubleshooting inside the VPS are the customer’s responsibility, unless our paid add-on service for technical support is purchased.

Where are your datacenter locations?

We currently operate datacenters in Europe (London, UK; Frankfurt, DE), North America (Dallas, USA; Montreal, CA), Asia (Singapore, SG), and Australia (Sydney, AU), with plans to expand into additional regions in the future.

Are backups included, and how do they work?

All unmanaged VPS hosting plans include a free, complimentary backup service. Each plan comes with one monthly backup stored securely on a remote server. If you need more frequent restore points, you can easily add extra backup slots during the order process.

Can I upgrade my VPS resources later?

Yes. You can upgrade your VPS to a larger plan whenever your projects require more resources. Whether you need additional CPU power, RAM, or storage, the process is quick and seamless, with minimal disruption to your service. Upgrades can be requested directly from your HostArmada Client Area, ensuring your server grows alongside your needs.
