General Information

Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting is popular among developers due to strong security, reliable hosting resources, and expanded flexibility. However, it requires a manual configuration of the hosted application, which could be a difficult task for an average developer. Facing the necessity of scaling (e.g. due to your application success), makes it even harder to maintain a service operable and sufficiently supplied with resources to handle the load without overpaying extra capacities.

CirrusGrid PaaS solves such elasticity problems through the implementation of the so-called Elastic VPS stacks. They are offered on top the four different OS types – CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, and Windows – allowing to choose the one, which suits your specific requirements the most.

The distinctive features of the Elastic VPS stacks are:

  • insulation – each given VPS represents an entirely independent instance, which is accessible only via the dedicated public IP, so any other account on the hardware cannot influence it
  • full control – it is possible to manage your virtual server in any preferred way due to the provided root permissions
  • scalability – the server can be automatically scaled vertically and horizontally by setting the resource limits and specific triggers
  • cost-effectiveness – VPS is a relatively cheap solution (comparing to the cost of purchase and maintenance of a real dedicated physical server) and due to CirrusGrid PaaS usage-based pricing model
  • management tools – access to the platform inbuilt tools for simplified configuration via the GUI dashboard
  • managed stack – Elastic VPS software solution is maintained by CirrusGrid team, ensuring regular updates and full compatibility with the platform

In such a way, you get an instance which is advanced enough to handle big applications with high load and simultaneously ensures their simple administration.
