Not tested hands-on yet. This page is based on what the host publishes and on general buying advice. We have not bought this plan or measured its speed or uptime, so we give no scores. Check prices on the host's own site, because they change often.

A VPS gives you a guaranteed share of a server. The big decision is who looks after it. On an unmanaged VPS, security updates and repairs are your job. On a managed VPS you pay more and the host does them.
