Question 1

What is the difference between a VPS and a dedicated server?

Accepted Answer

A VPS is a virtual machine sharing a physical host with other isolated tenants, while a dedicated server gives you an entire physical machine. VPSs deploy faster and scale flexibly; dedicated servers offer maximum raw performance and isolation. Our article Cloud vs. Dedicated Server walks through how to choose.

Question 2

What happens if the hardware running my VPS fails?

Accepted Answer

Our VPS platform is built for high availability: storage is replicated three ways across independent hosts and disks using Ceph, and if a physical host fails your VM automatically fails over to healthy hardware. You don't need to configure anything for this — it's how the platform works by default.

Question 3

Are backups included with VPS hosting?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Cloud VPS plans include free redundant backups, and Managed VPS plans add proactive monitoring, patching, and automated backup management on top. For workload-level protection we also offer enterprise backup and Proxmox Backup Server services with encrypted, SLA-backed storage.

Question 4

Which operating systems can I run?

Accepted Answer

We support a wide range of Linux distributions and Windows Server images for VPS and dedicated deployments, selectable at deploy time from the control panel. See the current list on our Operating Systems page — and if you need something custom, ask us.

Question 5

Do you support Proxmox?

Accepted Answer

Extensively. We run private Proxmox clouds for customers, offer Proxmox Backup Server protection for VM and container workloads, and our team publishes practical guidance like the best ways to back up Proxmox VE. If you're evaluating Proxmox for production, start with Is Proxmox Enterprise-Ready?
