VPS Hosting FAQs
What is VPS Hosting?
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a hosting solution that divides a physical server into multiple virtual servers.
Each VPS operates independently with its own resources, including CPU, RAM, and storage.
Unlike shared hosting, where multiple users share the same environment, a VPS offers greater speed, security, and customization.
This makes it ideal for businesses and developers who need more control, root access, and the ability to run custom applications without the high cost of a dedicated server.
VPS servers come in two:
- Unmanaged VPS
- Managed VPS
How much does a VPS server cost in Uganda?
At Truehost, VPS plans start from UGX 84,000 per month, depending on the resources you select.
Pricing varies based on:
- Number of CPUs
- Amount of RAM
- Storage size (SSD or NVMe)
- Bandwidth allocation
You can also add premium control panels, security tools, and backups, which may adjust the total monthly fee.
How is VPS hosting different from shared hosting?
| Feature | Shared Hosting | VPS Hosting |
|---|---|---|
| Resources | Shared with other users | Dedicated to your account |
| Performance | Can be affected by other users | Consistent and reliable |
| Customization | Limited control | Full root access and flexibility |
| Security | Shared environment risk | Isolated and more secure |
| Scalability | Limited | Easy to upgrade |
In short, VPS hosting offers better speed, reliability, and control, making it suitable for growing websites, eCommerce stores, and applications that require dedicated resources.
