Everything you need to know about Host's VPS services

What are Host VPS Services? Before we dive into the details, it's important to understand what Host VPS services are. These services are provided directly from our data centers located in Italy, in Turin and Pisa. Currently, VPS services are offered by the Turin data center, which uses a very modern infrastructure based on OpenStack.

OpenStack: The Foundation of Our Cloud Services OpenStack is an open source platform widely used for building and managing private or public cloud infrastructures. Host has based its cloud services on this robust platform. Thanks to dedicated development, we have created a self-provisioning portal that allows our customers to activate a VPS in less than 60 seconds.

Two Types of VPS: Basic and Premium We offer two main types of VPS: Basic and Premium. Here are the key differences:

Resource Guarantee: Premium VPS guarantee 100% of the allocated resources, while Basic VPS share resources with other customers, which could lead to occasional slowdowns.

Reliability: Premium VPS guarantee high reliability of the underlying hardware, always guaranteeing the availability of your VPS. Basic VPSs do not offer this guarantee.

Firewall: Only Premium VPS allow the configuration of a firewall directly in front of the VPS, increasing the security of the system.
