FAQ

VPS hosting questions

Do I get root access?

Yes — every VPS comes with full root access, so it's genuinely your server rather than a locked-down slice of one. You can install any software your project needs, choose your own web server, database and runtime versions, open ports, set up custom firewall rules and cron jobs, and configure the whole environment exactly the way you want. That's the core advantage of a VPS over shared hosting: you're not limited to what a shared control panel exposes. Your resources — CPU, RAM and NVMe storage — are dedicated to your instance, so a busy neighbour can't slow you down. With that control comes responsibility for what you install and how you secure it, but if you'd like the convenience of a graphical interface you're free to install a control panel such as a free option or cPanel on top, giving you point-and-click management while keeping full command-line power underneath.

Are these managed or unmanaged?

Our VPS plans are self-managed by default, which is deliberate — it's what keeps them fast and affordable, and it gives experienced users complete freedom over the stack. You handle the operating system and the software you run on it: updates, security hardening, and your application configuration. What we take care of is everything beneath that line — the virtualisation platform, the physical hardware, and the network — all monitored and supported 24/7, so you never have to worry about a failing disk or a flaky connection. Our team can also help with common configuration questions and point you to the right approach, even though deep application support isn't part of an unmanaged plan. If you'd prefer not to manage the server yourself, installing a control panel automates most routine administration, and for fully hands-off hosting our shared and business plans may be the better fit.

Can I resize my VPS as I grow?

Yes — one of the biggest advantages of a VPS is how easily it scales, so you can start small and grow into more power only when you actually need it. Moving up a tier takes just a couple of clicks: your data, operating system and configuration stay completely intact, and only the underlying resources — CPU, RAM and storage — increase. There's no need to rebuild your server or migrate anything by hand, and downtime is minimal. That means you can size your plan to today's traffic rather than over-provisioning for a spike that might come later, then upgrade the moment your usage justifies it, keeping your costs closely matched to your real needs. It works the other way too: if a temporary campaign winds down, you can adjust back. If you ever outgrow the largest VPS, a dedicated server is the natural next step, and our team can advise on the move.

The Full Picture

A VPS earns its keep the moment a project outgrows a shared control panel: a launch that spikes traffic, a custom stack that needs a specific runtime, or a client site that simply can't share a neighbour's resource ceiling anymore. Hosting Cheap's KVM plans exist for exactly that jump, giving you dedicated CPU and RAM without the jump straight to a full dedicated box.

Beyond the raw specs, what actually matters day to day is how the server is looked after: how migrations happen, what's backed up, who answers when something breaks, and whether you're locked into a single way of managing the box. This page covers those parts of the picture — the support, safety nets and setup choices that sit around the plans themselves.

Deep Dives

The details behind the promises

Shared hosting vs VPS: when to make the jump

Most projects start on shared or managed hosting, and for good reason — web hosting from $2.42/mo and managed WordPress from $4.19/mo cover the majority of small sites comfortably. The signals that you've outgrown that tier are usually specific: you need a PHP or Node version the shared panel doesn't offer, a database engine outside the standard stack, or consistent performance during traffic spikes that shared resources can't guarantee.

That's the gap a VPS from $13.52/mo fills. Rather than sharing a pool of CPU cycles with other accounts on the same box, KVM virtualisation reserves your resources so a busy neighbour never slows your server down. And if a project eventually outgrows even a top VPS tier, dedicated servers from $149.99/mo are the next step up, so there's a clear path rather than a cliff edge.

Migrating to your new VPS without downtime

Rebuilding a working server from scratch is the main reason people put off moving to a VPS. Our team handles the free managed migration instead — copying sites, databases and mailboxes from your current host or server onto the new VPS, so you're not manually re-uploading files or re-entering database credentials.

The move is staged so your current setup keeps running while the copy happens in the background. Once everything checks out on the new VPS, DNS is pointed across and the old environment stays available briefly as a fallback, which keeps the cutover close to zero downtime rather than an overnight outage.

Locking down your VPS: SSL, backups and support

Root access means the security of the box is largely in your hands, but you're not left to figure it out with no backstop. Every domain you point at a Hosting Cheap VPS is eligible for a free auto-renewing SSL certificate, and daily backups run in the background so a bad deploy or a corrupted database table is a restore, not a rebuild.

If you're not sure whether a VPS is the right fit before committing, the 30-day money-back guarantee applies here too. And when something on the server genuinely stumps you — a firewall rule, a service that won't start — 24/7 human support is there via ticket and live chat, not just a knowledge base.

Control panel options: command line or point-and-click

Full root access means you're free to run everything over SSH with no panel at all, which is exactly how many developers and sysadmins prefer it — nothing between them and the server. If that's your workflow, nothing on a Hosting Cheap VPS forces a GUI on you.

If you'd rather manage sites, databases and email through a browser, an optional cPanel-style panel with 1-click installers can be added to any VPS tier. It's not mandatory and can be added after the server is already running, so you can start on the command line and switch to a panel later if the project grows a team around it.

24/7 human web hosting support team

Support and safety nets, not just servers

A VPS hands you the keys to the whole machine, but that shouldn't mean you're on your own when something goes wrong. Daily backups, a free migration when you first move over, and 24/7 human support are built around every plan, not sold as add-ons bolted on afterwards.

It's a different posture from budget VPS providers who treat unmanaged as a synonym for unsupported. Root access stays entirely yours — we're simply making sure a bad night doesn't turn into a lost project or a support queue that never answers.

  • 24/7 human support, real people answering
  • Daily backups running in the background
  • Free managed migration to your new VPS
  • 30-day money-back guarantee on every tier

More FAQ

More questions, answered

Is there a free trial or refund if the VPS isn't the right fit?

There's no separate free trial, but every VPS plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can run your actual workload on it and request a refund within that window if it doesn't work out. It's a lower-risk way to test a root-access server than committing without any safety net.

Can you migrate my existing server or hosting account to a new VPS?

Yes — free managed migration is available, and our team handles copying your sites, databases and mailboxes across rather than leaving you to export and re-upload everything manually. The old environment is generally kept running until the new VPS is verified, which keeps the switch close to zero downtime.

Do I need to set up SSL myself on a VPS?

Domains hosted on your VPS are eligible for a free auto-renewing SSL certificate, which removes the recurring job of manually reissuing certificates. If you're running everything over raw SSH with no panel, you retain full control over exactly how and where certificates are installed.

How are backups handled since I have full root access?

Daily backups run in the background regardless of what you've installed, giving you a restore point without needing to script one yourself. Because you have root access, you're also free to run your own backup jobs on top of that for anything with tighter recovery requirements.

Will VPS pricing be shown in my own currency?

Plans are priced in USD, but the checkout and pricing pages use geo-currency display to show the equivalent cost in your local currency automatically. That means no manual conversion is needed to see what a plan actually costs where you are.

Who is the company operating Hosting Cheap's VPS service?

Hosting Cheap is operated by Bohzo Ltd, a UK-registered company, which is the legal entity behind billing and support for the VPS plans. That's worth knowing if you need it for invoicing, compliance or simply confirming who you're doing business with.
