To manage a VPS, you need basic knowledge of server administration. You will need this to administer the operating system you install (Linux or Windows), and configure your applications.

If you’d like to benefit from guaranteed resources yet do not know how to administer the servers, we would also recommend our Performance web hosting plans

KVM converts Linux into a type-1 (bare-metal) hypervisor. All hypervisors need some operating system-level components—such as a memory manager, process scheduler, input/output (I/O) stack, device drivers, security manager, a network stack, and more—to run VMs. Every VM is implemented as a regular Linux process, scheduled by the standard Linux scheduler, with dedicated virtual hardware like a network card, graphics adapter, CPU(s), memory, and disks.

If you’ve used a web hosting plan before, then using a VPS is the next logical step up.

It provides you with even more options, including root access, access to Apache and PHP.ini (modification of PHP variables), and much more. You can also install an SSL certificate, and all software program types. In short, you get more freedom in terms of administering and configuring your server, without the hassle of managing any physical hardware.

Please note that by opting for a VPS, you will need to choose a configuration that best suits your application’s requirements, and adapt your configuration to fit your growing needs.
