Managed servers

Managed VPS hosting: your own private server, looked after for you.

A VPS (virtual private server) is your own server with dedicated memory and processor power — nothing shared with other customers — without the work of running it yourself. We size the server, build it to our security baseline, set up backups and monitoring, and manage it every month — in the region that suits your users, on our infrastructure or in your own cloud account.

The short answer

What is managed VPS hosting, and when do you need it?

Managed VPS hosting gives one business its own virtual server, with a team that builds, secures and runs it. You get the performance and control of a private server without needing a system administrator on staff.

It is usually the right step when shared or web hosting starts to hold you back: a store whose checkout slows down at busy times, several sites that should live together, a business app such as Odoo, or software that needs its own settings, services or database. If none of that applies yet, our managed web hosting is usually enough — we will tell you honestly which one fits.

Your cloud or ours

We manage servers on the cloud you choose.

Run on a server we provide, or keep your own account with any major cloud — we connect securely and manage it the same way: hardening, monitoring, updates and backups.

Unmanaged VPS or managed VPS?

An unmanaged VPS
  • A bare server; security and updates are yours
  • Backups only if you set them up
  • Nobody watching when disk or memory fills
  • Problems solved by searching forums
A VPS managed by Speed Linx
  • Hardened, patched and watched by our engineers
  • Off-site backups, restore-tested
  • Alerts reach our team before they reach you
  • Tuning changes proposed and approved by you
Moving in

Can you move us from shared hosting or another cloud?

Yes — with a planned, tested migration. We copy your sites, apps and databases to the new server, check everything on a private staging address, then switch over at a quiet time. Your old hosting stays untouched until you are happy, so there is always a way back. For larger moves, our guide to cloud migration explains how we plan them.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Can you manage our AWS, Azure or Google Cloud servers?
Yes. You keep the cloud account and the bill; we get secure access and manage the Linux servers in it — hardening, monitoring, updates and backups.
Which cloud providers do you use?
When we provide the server, we choose the provider per project for location, reliability and cost, and tell you exactly where your server is.
Can you move us from shared hosting?
Yes, with a planned, tested migration. Your old hosting stays live until the new server has been checked.
How do we know what size of server we need?
We look at your current traffic, data and software, then size the server for today with room to grow. Cloud servers can be resized later, so you don’t pay for capacity you don’t use yet.
Is a VPS more secure than shared hosting?
It can be, because nothing else runs on it — but only if it is hardened and kept patched. An unmanaged VPS left alone is often less safe. That is why every server we manage starts from our security baseline.
Do you support Windows servers?
No. We manage Linux servers — Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux and similar. If your software needs Windows, we will say so up front.
Can we store backups in our own cloud storage?
Yes. Backups can be kept with us or sent to your own Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Azure or SFTP storage. See backup and disaster recovery.
What happens if our traffic suddenly grows?
Monitoring shows us when memory, CPU or disk start running short, well before most visitors notice. We tell you what we see and recommend resizing or tuning the server, and make the change once you approve it.
