Are Virtual Private Servers or VPS the same as Servelets?
Yes you can. Several customers with VPS at other providers have successfully migrated their contents to SimplerCloud servelets.
Our Servelets are full servers with root access, so purchasing one is similar to getting a dedicated server or having Virtual Private Servers (VPS) with full root access. However, please do take note of the following:
Differences between using Virtual Private Servers (VPS) and Cloud Servers
By default, all SimplerCloud servelets are fully self-manageable. This means that unless additional System Administration services are purchased, users must maintain and configure the servers themselves. Some activity that users will need to be aware of when maintaining their SimplerCloud servers include:
- Running data backups (we have a Idera Cloud Backup service as an additional option or you can use your server configuration panel such as cPanel to do it)
- Hardening and Patching the Server
- Trouble-shooting Email / Web / Panel Logs
- Updating the OS and all applications
- Installing additional applications, plugins, etc.
Auto-Install Many Frameworks and Applications
Many common server management panels (cPanel, Plesk, more), applications (WordPress, Magento), customer management systems (Joomla, Drupal, more), are already provided as free templates at installation. You can select to auto-install items when your server is launched. Here is more information:
- We already offer 1-click installation of many application frameworks easily (Joomla, Ruby on Rails etc) easily and free from our online menus.
- If your preferred template is not available, you can contact us to check if we’re already working on launching it soon.
- Private Templates allow you to configure your application once, and create a custom order template for launching the same configuration on additional multiple servers. Contact us for Private Template prices and details.
