VPS (Virtual Private Server)

A VPS is a virtual machine sold as a service. It gives you guaranteed CPU, RAM and NVMe storage on a shared physical host, plus full root access to install any software. KVM is the modern hardware-virtualised hypervisor most reputable providers — including Namence — use.

Compared with shared hosting, a VPS isolates your resources so a noisy neighbour cannot slow your site down. Compared with a dedicated server, it is far cheaper and provisions in minutes instead of days.

Namence provisions KVM VPS in under 10 minutes, with NPR billing and a choice of Singapore, Mumbai, Frankfurt or Dallas regions.
