Introduction to Cloud Server at Servmix

 

A Virtual Private Server (Cloud Server) is a virtual machine that resides on a server with other virtual machines. With a Cloud Server, you have your own operating system installation. As a result, you have much greater control over system configuration. You can install programs and applications that are unsupported or not allowed on shared hosting accounts.

For people with simple websites and basic hosting needs, a shared hosting account is all they'll ever need. But if you are a developer, you may find that a Cloud Server plan better suits your needs. Especially when the entry cost has never been lower.

A2 Hosting offers two types of Cloud Server account plans: unmanaged and managed. We have designed these plans to provide you with greater flexibility and control.

Managed VPS

Managed Cloud Server plans offer a managed environment similar to our shared hosting accounts, but with increased resource availability. If you are outgrowing a shared hosting environment, but are not ready yet to make the leap to a dedicated server, you should consider a managed Cloud Server. This plan is also a good option if you need certain customizations that are not provided with shared hosting plans, but you would still like A2 Hosting to handle configuration changes, software upgrades, and other system administration tasks.

By default, all managed Cloud Server plans include cPanel and reseller WHM access. Plans are available that include root access for WHM and at the command line. If you would like to add additional cPanel accounts to your plan, please reach out to A2 Hosting’s Sales team, who will be happy to assist you.

Unmanaged Cloud Server

Unlike managed Cloud Server plans, unmanaged VPS plans are not actively managed by A2 Hosting. Unmanaged Cloud Server plans are for more advanced users who are comfortable using the command-line interface and doing system administration tasks. These plans include root account access so you can customize the server as much as necessary. As a result, you are responsible for the following items:

  • Application installation and configuration.
  • Upgrades.
  • Security patches.
  • Reboots.
  • Backups.
  • Custom partitioning.
  • Fixing broken user accounts and resetting passwords.

Although these plans are called “unmanaged,” A2 Hosting does provide the following services:

  • Infrastructure management, including network, power, security, hardware, and virtual machine hosts.
  • Initial provisioning of Cloud Server accounts (using our default templates).
  • Re-provisioning the Cloud Server with a different operating system.
  • A complete reset of the Cloud Server back to its original settings (this erases all data).
  • Provisioning additional IP addresses.
  • Reverse DNS management and delegation.

Unmanaged Cloud Server plans do not include cPanel. Instead, SolusVM and SSH are the primary administration interfaces. You can also use Webuzo to install many common applications (such as WordPress) quickly and easily.
