Unmanaged Linux VPS Hosting at 20x Speed

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.

Custom Operating Systems- Another way you can customize your VPS to your specific needs is with your choice of Linux operating systems. Select from the best versions of Ubuntu, CentOS or Debian. If you're in the middle of a project and want change to a different version or a different OS entirely, you can change and re-load your operating system on demand whenever you want!

Custom Software- Not only is your VPS custom, it's also extremely flexible. That's because you get full root access offering you administrative level control. You will have the flexibility needed to install and run software not supported in a managed hosting environment. We even give you full boot, shutdown and reboot control!

Custom VPS Management- While our virtual private server plans are designed to be managed with command line, you have the option to add cPanel for your VPS management! cPanel is an extremely easy to use control panel. Use it to manage everything including your files, databases, email and sites. When you add cPanel, you also have the option to add Softaculous! Use Softaculous to install today's most popular software with just a single click. Setup WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Magento, PrestaShop and more! You'll also get automatically notified when a new version of your software is released. Easily log into your cPanel control panel, click the Softaculous icon and update your software with a single click!

Custom Data Center Location- If there weren't enough customization options already, we also offer worldwide data center location options! Choose a datacenter that is closer to you or your visitors for reduced latency and ultimate performance!

You may also think that since you've customized your VPS, that you're stuck with the resources that you originally selected when you created your account. That's not true either. If you need additional resources after signing up for your account, that's just a sign that your site is growing. It's a sign of success. You shouldn't be penalized because for this success. That's why our VPS plans are completely scalable. Just contact our support team when you need more resources and we'll be happy to help.

Are you concerned that you'll outgrow your virtual private server account? Don't be! Your site has additional room to grow at A2 Hosting because we can seamlessly upgrade you to one of our Dedicated Servers when a VPS no longer fits your needs.
