Hosting Option?
An Unmanaged VPS is a server that provides you with an bare environment. Giving you the Building blocks that allows you to create whatever application you desire on it. It's meant for those who are more tech-savvy and like to handle the technical aspects of their own server. As a result, it's much more inexpensive in comparison to its managed counterpart. As a result, support provided is limited to ensuring that the server is online and the network is accessible.
Yes! This is especially true if you are or have your own development team. Unmanaged servers benefit SAAS Providers, systems administrators and much more. Unmanaged servers allow you to setup your own environment per any development and/or production platform specifications. Granting you that blank slate to specifically tailor your VPS to those platform specs.
It is possible to change to a managed VPS, however, it does require purchasing a new VPS that is managed and allowing our migrations team to evaluate and determine the process that will be required to migrate your unmanaged VPS.
We wholely recommend that you open a ticket for a Migrations Specialist to evaluate your server for a Managed services migration.
Utilizing the My KnownHost portal, you can upgrade or downgrade your server as needed. Requiring no downtime, the process is quick and seamless. Going to be running a heavy application for a bit?
