Managed VPS vs. Unmanaged VPS

Learn the differences between a managed VPS and an unmanaged VPS.

We offer full management with every managed VPS.

The customer himself manages a self-managed or unmanaged VPS. We do not offer unmanaged VPS; however, we provide root access with every managed VPS.

  • cPanel/WHM Control Panel

    cPanel is an easy to use control panel that allows you to add and manage domains with a few clicks. We offer free cPanel with every managed VPS plan. An unmanaged VPS does not generally include a cPanel license.

  • Full root Access

    We provide root access with every managed VPS. An unmanaged VPS includes root access too. With root access, you get complete control and can change any aspect of your VPS. The user "root" in Linux is similar to the user "Administrator" in Windows.
