Support to Suit You
We offer both managed and VIP managed support options to suit your level of expertise. With managed support, we look after the day to day running of your Virtual Private Server as well as monitoring and securing it against potential threats. VIP managed support is billed on an hourly basis and includes additional software setup and configuration.
Mission Critical Infrastructure
We use Supermicro and Dell enterprise-grade hardware nodes that all of our VPS hosts are based on. These feature 8-16 CPUs, 24GB DDR3 ECC RAM and 4-8 hard drives in RAID 10. The result is blisteringly fast performance on all of our Virtual Private Servers.
We do not overload our VPS nodes.

We offer a range of Operating Systems to meet different requirements. We offer CentOS, FreeBSD, Fedora, Ubuntu, Gentoo and OpenSUSE. Windows will be available in the near future as a VPS hosting option.
About VPS Hosting and Virtual Private Servers
Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting introduces the flexibility and power of a dedicated server at a much lower price point. Full root access, a choice of Operating Systems, different size plans and a choice of management options is included. Virtual Private Servers are perfect for larger resellers, web designers, small businesses and individuals who need more power and customizability than regular shared or reseller hosting.
We offer a range of Linux VPS hosting options based on OpenVZ Virtualization. Windows VPS hosting is coming in the very near future.
As an official cPanel Partner, cPanel is available on nearly all of our VPS hosting plans. Choosing cPanel includes WebHostManager, used for creating/modifying/deleting accounts and other VPS management functions.
A range of additional options are available on all of our Virtual Private Servers including additional dedicated IP addresses, SSL certificates and WHMCS software licenses.
Common questions about VPS Hosting
-
What is Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting?
A Virtual Private Server is a new breed of hosting that gives you the features and functionality of a dedicated server but at a much lower price point. A Virtual Private Server, or VPS, account will be created on one physical server along with a number of other VPS accounts. However, the physical server will be running special virtualization technology (OpenVZ) that separates the hardware and software. This allows each VPS to get full root access and be setup, customized and run independently of the physical hardware. You can even reboot your VPS!
-
Is WebHostingBuzz a good VPS host?

- We use fast, enterprise grade hardware for our physical VPS nodes. In terms of specification these are Supermicro rackmount servers with 8 x Xeon CPUs, 24GB DDR3 ECC Memory and 8 x SATA-300 RAID10 Hard Drives. The result is lightning fast virtual private servers for all applications, including Joomla, Magento, Wordpress and more.

-
Is VPS Hosting for me?
If you are a web designer, a small web hosting company, a small/medium sized business or an advanced user who needs root access then chances are the answer is yes. A virtual private server (VPS) is a step up from a regular shared web hosting account. Resources are isolated so you are at far lower risk of someone else on the server causing you problem. You've got a lot of room to grow and can scale up and down our VPS plan quickly and easily, create your own reseller hosting accounts, setup and tweak Apache/PHP/MySQL and other services and enjoy all the benefits usually associated with a dedicated server at a much cheaper price point.
Our VPS hosting is fast, affordable and a good solution for many different needs.
-
Which VPS Hosting or Virtual Private Server plan should I choose?
As you can see, we offer a range of OpenVZ VPS options. Bronze package level plan is our entry-level plan and designed for those with smaller requirements. Our Silver and Gold VPS plans are our most popular and support cPanel. Platinum Virtual Private Server offers the most disk space, bandwidth and memory resources out of any of our VPS plans so is ideal for the power user.
-
Do I need a control panel like cPanel on my VPS?
We strongly recommend you to choose cPanel for your VPS. cPanel includes WebHostManager which is a browser based interface used for managing many aspects of your Virtual Private Server. This makes it quicker and easy to create/modify/delete accounts, upgrade the software, view the current load of your VPS server and generally make life easier.
cPanel is well known as the world's most popular control panel software.
-
What are the benefits of Virtual Private Servers / VPS Hosting?
A quick summary of the benefits of VPS hosting is:
- Full root access
- Choice of Operating Systems
- Fully customize and choose your software
- Isolated and guaranteed resources (meaning no other user can impact on the VPS performance)
- Room to grow and easy upgradeability
-
How many websites can I host on a Virtual Private Server?
There isn't a firm answer to this question. It depends on the size/popularity of your website, how efficient the website is and the type of software the website uses. You can, however, easily see the current performance of your VPS using WebHostManager and if you see performance slowing or the available resources drying up, you can upgrade to the next level at any time. Just get in touch with our support team and they'll perform the upgrade with zero downtime.
-
Should I look for cheap VPS hosting? What is the benefit of more expensive solution?
Like with any type of web hosting, you definitely get what you pay for. There are many cheap VPS hosts out there who offer unrealistically cheap Virtual Private Servers on inferior technology, slower hardware and outdated software. The support they provide is questionable and you will generally face far more problems choosing one of the very cheap providers.
WebHostingBuzz's VPS plans offer the perfect mix of affordability, performance, reliability and support. We are confident you will not find a better value VPS provider anywhere.
