Run applications that need a dedicated software environment.

Understand the options and the questions to ask before choosing a plan.
A virtual private server gives your application its own operating environment and an allocated set of resources. Compare CPU, memory and storage against your workload rather than choosing on price alone.
Confirm whether your order is managed or unmanaged. On an unmanaged service, you normally handle operating system updates, application security, firewall rules, monitoring and backups. Agree the scope of any management or support before ordering.
A running server is not a backup. Plan regular copies of important data, keep them away from the production server and test recovery. Ask about available backup options and any additional charges.
Add together the requirements of the operating system, your application and any database, then allow headroom. Tell us your software and expected usage if you need help comparing plans.
This depends on the management level in your order. Confirm responsibility for updates, security and application maintenance before deploying anything live.
Check the upgrade path for your chosen plan. Some changes may need downtime or migration; ask about the process before relying on a particular upgrade.
Check the plan specification and order terms. Confirm frequency, retention, storage location and restore arrangements rather than assuming a server includes backups.
Tell us about your requirements before you order.
