VDS — FAQs
What is VDS best for?
Growing applications, databases and e-commerce.
Is it managed?
Management is available as an uplift — patching, monitoring, backups and incident response. Without it you get root or administrator access and it is yours to run.
Can I move up later?
Yes. Memory, cores and disk can be raised on the same server, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address. Moving between tiers is a migration we handle for you.
