What is VPS web hosting?

A virtual private server, or VPS, gives you dedicated virtual resources and more server-level control than ordinary web hosting. It can support custom applications, special software, and workloads that need their own server environment.

More control also means more responsibility. A VPS owner may need to manage operating-system updates, security, services, backups, and application configuration. HudsonHost offers an Ubuntu KVM VPS with HudsonPanel included, or a self-managed option without a preinstalled panel.

Choose regular hosted website plans when you mainly want to build and publish websites with simpler management. Choose a VPS when you need server-level access or software that a standard hosting plan does not provide.
