Traditionally a server would be physically placed and require a lot of electrical fail-safes to ensure that it stays running. Not to mention the physical maintenance that is required for traditional servers. Cloud VPS hosting uses the shared resources of a dedicated server on Blacknight network infrastructure.

With a cloud VPS server you are not restricted by any of the factors that affect a physical server. You are in complete control. Only a network connection is required for you to administer your server. You can even save your configured server as a new template to use again in the future. Virtual disks and CPU’s don’t fail and you can add components with ease using our user-friendly cloud control panel.

A cloud VPS from Blacknight provides an easy to use, scalable and simple to manage solution to meet even the most demanding of websites.

There are several reasons why you may want to choose a Blacknight Cloud VPS (Virtual Private Server) over Shared Hosting. First of all, with a Cloud VPS, you get a dedicated amount of resources that are exclusively reserved for your usage. This means that you have complete control over your server environment and can customise it to meet your specific needs. In contrast, with shared hosting, you are sharing resources with other users, which can lead to slower website performance and limited control over your server configuration.

Another advantage of Cloud VPS is scalability. As your website or application grows, you can easily scale up server resources without any downtime or disruption. This flexibility is not possible with shared hosting, which limits the amount of resources you can use.

In terms of security, a Cloud VPS provides a higher level of protection than shared hosting. With a Cloud VPS, you have your own isolated environment, which reduces the risk of security breaches and protects your data from other users on the same server. Moreover, you can configure your security settings and install your own security software to further enhance your protection.

Includes 5 full back ups of VPS, allowing quick full server restores. This can be done directly in the customer control panel.

Cloud VPS hosting provides substantial benefits such as immense capability for scalability, flexibility, security and control. In addition, a Blacknight Cloud VPS Server offers improved isolation, i.e. you are fully separated from other users and actions on the server, no other customer can slow down or affect your service in any way.

Cloud hosting and cloud VPS hosting are two different types of hosting services. Cloud hosting is a service where multiple servers are used to host a website or application, and the resources are shared among them. On the other hand, cloud VPS hosting is a service where a virtual private server is created on a cloud-based infrastructure. This server behaves like a dedicated server with its own resources, but it is virtualised and hosted on a shared infrastructure. Cloud VPS hosting offers more control and customisation options to the user, while cloud hosting is more scalable and cost-effective for large-scale websites and applications.

Web hosting services can be broadly categorised into shared hosting, dedicated hosting, and VPS hosting. Shared hosting involves sharing a physical server and resources with other users, while dedicated hosting provides an entire physical server for exclusive use. VPS hosting is a mid-way option that offers a defined amount of resources allocated to your VPS at a more affordable price than dedicated hosting. To put it in perspective, VPS hosting is like reserving a private room at a restaurant, while dedicated hosting is like renting out an entire venue for your event. With a Blacknight Cloud VPS, you get a virtual server within the Blacknight cloud network and infrastructure.
