Being attacked is a nightmare, especially if you don’t have DDoS protection. It’s something SpectrumTech includes as a standard feature with virtual private servers, because we care.
NEED A BILLING SOLUTION ?
WHMCS Starter and Blesta are both available for a modest monthly fee, enabling you or your agency/business to easily bill for slices of resources.
WANT EVEN MORE PERFORMANCE ?
LiteSpeed and LSCache are available for a small monthly fee, allowing your website to blaze past the competition and stay out in front. When speed matters, equipping your VPS with LiteSpeed + LSCache is a great way to maximize performance.
PREFER DIRECT ADMIN OR cPANEL ?
Get the control panel you prefer by selecting it at order time. Either is available – it’s strictly a matter of personal preference. Many people opt for cPanel, because of its popularity – and we can’t fault them for that. However, it’s your VPS – so you’re in control – you can have other control panels and software installed instead – it’s totally up to you (but faster setup times if you pick cPanel or DirectAdmin).

SpectrumTech has a blog, wiki and forums which have fresh topics that are interesting and relevant, plus informative answers to thousands of common questions. You can also give our server admin, support team and sales staff a shout anytime you have questions or concerns and we’ll be happy to answer your questions, recommend VPS (or other) solutions and help you make the most out of your VPS hosting plan(s).

EVERYTHING YOU'LL NEED
Our managed vps hosting plans have everything a small business site owner will need – from soup to nuts.
CONTROL PANEL - DIRECT_ADMIN
BACKUP
Just because your account is cloud-based doesn’t mean you don’t need a backup system. We provide secure, redundant, snapshot backups which are stored off-server and easily accessible by you – so that you can revert back to an earlier point in time. This is handy when data is corrupted, errors are made, defacement or any other scenario. Again, backups are at no additional cost – they come included.
SECURITY - Imunify360
Included with your shared hosting is Imunify360, the automated security solution which is designed to protect your website from attacks, malware and much more. Again, we include it free of charge, because it’s important.
FREE SSL
Every website can be protected via SSL, so why not enjoy a Comodo SSL certificate with your account? We provide one free so you can secure your domain hosted with SpectrumTech.
PERFORMANCE - LiteSpeed + LSCache
Performance matters. It impacts the user experience, can limit sales conversions, has a massive impact on search engine optimization and should be a concern when you host. That’s why we use LiteSpeed and LSCache for a killer one two performance punch. Normally an add-on expense, we included at no additional charge.
CONVENIENCE - Softaculous
You want to spend time running your business or servicing clients and not dealing with hosting administration, which is why we’ve gone the extra mile by including the Softaculous 1-click installer (and its 400+ scripts) with your cloud account at absolutely no additional charge.
CONVENIENCE - Migrations
Getting your domains, emails, databases, images and files moved from one host to another can be a royal pain. At SpectrumTech, we remove that pain by handling the migrations for you. Quick, easy and with a minimum of downtime – for FREE.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MANAGED AND UN-MANAGED VPS HOSTING
VPS hosting is a very popular choice for many web site owners since it offers the advantages of a dedicated server but at an affordable cost. When choosing vps hosting you can choose between a managed or unmanaged vps server.
Virtual private servers are actually the most popular type of servers because these give you better performance than shared hosting and they cost less than others.
With VPS hosting, users may share a number of physical resources such as disk space, CPU and RAM, but they will still enjoy the freedoms of having a private server, such as having your own control panel.
A big server is called a ‘node’, and the VPS is just a small part of this node. But a virtual private server still allows users to be in charge, fully, of all their own settings and configurations. This freedom allows you to customize and make any changes or adjustments that you need, as situations arise.
Since a virtual private server it is not actually a physical server, you do not have to worry about space or resources (RAM, CPU, Network bandwidth) as these are in the ‘cloud’ and managed by sophisticated datacenter tools.
VPS users still have access to the same resources and features as they would have otherwise, and they still have the freedom to install any application and make changes to those applications. Since you are not actually sharing any hardware, you will not have to be concerned about the physical server maintenance and security. The hosting company will need to worry about this.
Our VPS nodes are divided into isolated containers that each have their own set of memory, diskspace and CPU power – keeping you in control at all times.
When purchasing a VPS hosting package the web hosting provider will manage all the hardware and while you will have administrative access through a control panel to do whatever you want with your server, they will still make sure that it is available, has up-to-date system software, it is secured and has the available hardware resources to run according to the VPS package specification.
Unmanaged VPS hosting is different from managed VPS hosting in a number of ways. First and foremost the hosting provider is responsible for providing you with the VPS server but everything else is up to you to handle.
It’s like purchasing a new physical server and you bring it home, pull in the plug and switch it on. This is the responsibility of the unmanaged hosting provider to make sure that the server is available and accessible online. Everything else is your responsibility including the configuration of the VPS server and its services.
You can imagine that this is not the job for the average user and even if you have the technical knowledge to do it, it’s always better to leave the technical stuff to the datacentre people and concentrate on how to grow your business.
Comparing the two is easy since managed VPS hosting has a lot more advantages than unmanaged hosting.
Cost: In the past there was a considerable difference between the two VPS packages but this is not the case today. Managed VPS hosting is as low as $25 per month which is very low if you take into account the number of hours you save from having to manage your server.
Time: When you order a managed VPS account, it only takes a couple of hours to have your server up and running in a properly configured manner but this is not the case with the unmanaged server. It may take hours to manually install and configure the required services.
Technical knowledge: No technical knowledge is required for running a managed server. When you need to do something technical all you have to do is contact support and let the skilled technical support operators handle the rest. With an unmanaged server you need to have server administration skills and love working in the command line otherwise it will be very difficult to administer your server efficiently.
Security: Website security starts from the server security and if you don’t follow best practices then most probably your website will be exposed to security risks. A hosting account that is managed by the hosting provider will have a better level of security since security is an important chapter for modern datacenters.

- Managed VPS Hosting
-
Managed VPS hosting is the ideal solution for both non-technical but also technically savvy people since the hosting provider takes care of any technical tasks related to the server. In other words the web hosting provider is responsible for managing the server including system upgrades and configuration and your job is to do what you are supposed to do i.e. run your website or online business.
When purchasing a VPS hosting package the web hosting provider will manage all the hardware and while you will have administrative access through a control panel to do whatever you want with your server, they will still make sure that it is available, has up-to-date system software, it is secured and has the available hardware resources to run according to the VPS package specification.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN VPS SERVERS AND DEDICATED SERVERS
There are a number of differences between VPS (virtual private servers) and dedicated servers. When deciding which is the best web hosting package for you, it is important to weigh all the factors and then make the right choice for your business.
The difference between these depends on your needs. A VPS can be small yet powerful for your websites allowing you to grow as necessary, however if not planned properly, you can find yourself needing to upgrade. A VPS shares resources on the node with other VPS users.
A dedicated server is standalone, no noisy neighbors. You get a personal server with plenty of resources for applications, future growth, and performance — all to yourself. In the end, it comes down to what you really need as each has their own strengths.
COST – Higher cost compared to shared hosting but less of a cost when compared to dedicated hosting. (Our managed VPS packages are as low as $28 per month).
PERFORMANCE – Better performance than shared hosting – 100% SSD and lightning quick.
SCALABILITY – Easily scalable with no downtime – can quickly expand or contract based on changing requirements.
SECURITY – Highly secured and designed/optimized with security in mind. Our VPS’s are top notch.
SUITABILITY – Suitable for high traffic websites, small to medium sized businesses, bloggers and everyone that wants the power of a dedicated server at a lower price.
COST – More expensive than a VPS (our managed dedi servers start at $159 per month).
PERFORMANCE – Optimum performance (depending on hardware setup and requirements).
SCALABILITY – Downtime may be needed (depending on resources required and current configuration).
SECURITY – Maximum security – total control – no common hardware with other accounts.
SUITABILITY – For those times when VPS resources are not enough, then a dedi server is the next best available solution.
A VPS can be used for many different applications. It can be used for web hosting, an email server, SAAS applications, DNS Cluster and so forth. The limitations of a VPS come down to the application requirements needed — a VPS will be able to run most applications depending on its needs.
There are many factors to consider when selecting a reliable hosting provider. Besides taking into account the basics i.e. price and security, you should also give special attention to:
Support: What type of support do they offer? Is it 24/7? What do reviews say about their support services? Are you certain that they have the right tools and people to help you when you are in need?
Uptime: What is their SLA regarding up-time? Can you afford to have your business down for days? You should always aim for 99.9% uptime since a 99% uptime is equivalent to 4 whole days of downtime (for a yearly period), which is not acceptable in today’s competitive market. This report by hyperspin monitors the uptime of various hosting providers and you can use it as a guide before deciding which one to choose.
In the majority of cases what you want is a managed virtual server package that will give you the power and flexibility, but at a lower cost. For small business owners, bloggers, web designers and everyone that needs to have a fast website, a VPS is the perfect solution.
Should you need more speed and performance you can also consider switching to an ssd-powered VPS package which has the same advantages as a VPS but offers faster performance due to the presence of SSD hard drives. VPS SSD is highly recommended for websites that use a lot of disk caching, for example WordPress websites with the w3 Total Cache plugin
Outside of these two options, there are even things like shared cloud hosting now at KnownHost.
If you are serious about your website or online business then you should consider upgrading from your shared hosting to a managed platform on our VPS (SSD), Cloud VPS or Dedicated Server packages, depending on your needs and budget.
We want to offer our customers the best possible experience and add real value to their online businesses by leveraging our modern and up-to-date infrastructure as well as the years of experience in the market. For this reason we offer fully managed services on all control panel VPS and dedicated servers.
This means that we take care of your server including guaranteed availability (we offer 99.9% uptime), security hardening, operating system configuration and upgrades.
Your job is to take care of your business and if you ever need support our experienced personnel is more than glad to help you 24X7 ,365 days a year.
