VPS is an abbreviation for "virtual private server". A VPS works by dividing a physical server into separate virtual machines. Each of these virtual machines, or virtual private servers, operate completely independently from one another. In other words, each VPS has its own operating system as well as allocation of resources like RAM, CPU and disk space. This provides you with an environment that closely mimics that of a Dedicated Server, without the costs associated with it.

If you are looking for an easy upgrade from your Shared Hosting account and want to continue using an intuitive control panel like cPanel, we recommend that you select a Managed VPSaccount. Our expert support team can even seamlessly migrate your existing website into a Managed VPS for free!

If, on the other hand, you are an experienced developerwho is comfortable working with command line and want root access so you can fully customize your server, an Unmanaged VPS would be a better option for you.

When you think of VPS Hosting, you probably think of a hosting solution featuring more resources and more power. You're certainly correct on both accounts. You may also think that a VPS is designed only for web developers with years of experience. This may be the case at some hosting providers. That's not the case at A2 Hosting.

Our Managed VPS plans include the user-friendly cPanel control panel that you use and love on our Web Hosting plans. That means you get the power and resources of a VPS, but the same ease of use found with our Web Hosting plans. It's the best of both worlds!

Yes, our Managed Virtual Private Server plans are user-friendly. That's not to say we don't have virtual private servers plans designed for more advanced users. Our Managed VPS Hosting also includes administrative level, root access and management via code line!

One of the tools included with your Managed VPS within cPanel is Softaculous. Softaculous is another reason why these plans are easy to use. With Softaculous, you can setup software ranging from blogs to forums to CMS solutions (like WordPress) all with a single click of your mouse. As the Premium Hosting partner for PrestaShop, you can also setup this popular eCommerce software with 1-click as well.

To help keep your site secure and up to date, you'll receive an email informing you when a new version of the software you have installed on your VPS via Softaculous is available. Just log into your control panel and you can update your software to this new version with a single click with Softaculous.
