More Power. More Control. Your Own Virtual Server.
When your website, application or online business starts demanding more resources, traditional shared hosting may no longer provide the flexibility you need. You may need greater control over server configuration, additional processing power, a custom software environment or the ability to run applications that require specific server settings.
Tremhost VPS hosting gives you a virtual private server with allocated resources, KVM virtualisation, NVMe SSD storage and full root access. You get the flexibility to configure your own environment, install supported operating systems and deploy the applications your projects require.
Whether you are a developer, business owner, software company, agency or system administrator, our VPS packages give you a platform to build, deploy and manage your online infrastructure.
Get started with KVM VPS hosting from $15/month.
What Is VPS Hosting?
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtual machine hosted on a physical server. Through virtualisation technology, the physical server is divided into separate virtual environments, each with its own allocated resources.
Unlike standard shared hosting, where multiple customers use a shared hosting environment, a VPS gives you a more independent server environment with allocated CPU, memory and storage.
You can use your VPS to host websites, deploy web applications, run databases, create development environments, manage APIs, operate business software and install other compatible applications.
A VPS also gives you more control over the operating system and server configuration. With full root access, you can manage packages, configure services, create users, set firewall rules and install software according to your requirements.
For businesses that have outgrown shared hosting, VPS hosting provides a flexible step towards more advanced infrastructure.
Why Choose Tremhost VPS Hosting?
KVM Virtualisation
Tremhost uses KVM virtualisation to provide independent virtual server environments. This gives your VPS its own allocated resources and a more isolated environment than traditional container-based hosting.
Your selected package determines the CPU, RAM and storage available to your virtual server.
Full Root Access
You have full root access to your VPS, giving you administrative control over the server.
Install compatible software, configure your operating system, manage users, customise server settings and deploy applications without the restrictions of a standard shared hosting account.
This makes VPS hosting particularly useful for developers and businesses with specialised technical requirements.
NVMe SSD Storage
Every VPS package includes NVMe SSD storage. NVMe technology offers high-speed storage performance and can help reduce storage latency for websites, databases and applications.
The amount of storage available depends on the package you select.
Dedicated Allocated Resources
Each VPS plan comes with a specified allocation of CPU cores and RAM. This gives you greater resource independence than ordinary shared hosting.
The resources you receive are determined by your selected plan and the underlying virtualisation environment.
Choose Your Operating System
Different projects require different software environments. A Linux VPS gives developers and system administrators flexibility when selecting and configuring their operating system.
You can choose a supported operating system during deployment and configure the environment to suit your workload.
Fast Deployment
You do not have to wait through a lengthy manual server installation process. Tremhost VPS plans are automatically provisioned, typically within a few minutes after successful payment.
Your server access details are then provided so you can begin configuring your environment.
VPS Management Panel
You also receive access to a VPS management panel for common server operations. Depending on the available controls, you can manage tasks such as rebooting, reinstalling, accessing the server console and viewing resource information.
This is separate from optional web hosting control panels such as cPanel or Plesk.
99.9% Uptime SLA
Your VPS package includes a 99.9% uptime service-level commitment. This provides a defined availability target for the hosting service. Review the applicable service terms for the conditions and remedies associated with the SLA.

What Can You Host on a VPS?
VPS hosting is useful for much more than hosting a traditional business website. With root access and a configurable operating system, you can build an environment around the software your project requires.
Business Websites and Online Stores
A growing business website or online store may require more control over server resources, caching, databases and application configuration. A VPS gives you a more flexible environment for managing these requirements.
The right server size depends on visitor traffic, application design, database activity and the resources consumed by your website.
Web Applications and APIs
Developers can deploy custom applications and APIs on a VPS. You can configure the runtime environment, install required dependencies and manage the services your application needs.
This is useful for software projects built with technologies such as Node.js, Python, PHP and other compatible server-side platforms.
Development and Testing Environments
A VPS can provide a separate environment for software development, testing and staging.
You can test application updates, experiment with server configurations and deploy projects without making changes to your main production hosting environment.
Databases and Background Services
Some projects require dedicated database services, scheduled jobs, background processing or other server-side components.
A VPS allows you to configure these services according to your application’s requirements, provided the selected plan has sufficient resources.
Docker and Custom Software
Developers who work with containerised applications can configure supported Docker environments on a compatible VPS.
You can also install other supported software and services, giving you more flexibility than a conventional shared hosting package.
Is VPS Hosting Managed or Unmanaged?
This is one of the most important questions to consider before ordering.
Tremhost’s KVM VPS plans on this page are self-managed. You receive full root access and control over your server environment, but you are responsible for most of the operating system administration and application configuration.
This includes tasks such as installing software, managing server updates, configuring services, securing the operating system and troubleshooting application-level issues.
A self-managed VPS is suitable if you have the technical knowledge to administer a server or have a system administrator who can do it for you.
If you prefer a server with cPanel and WHM already installed and technical management support, consider Tremhost’s separate Managed cPanel VPS hosting.
Self-Managed VPS vs Managed cPanel VPS
Both options provide virtual server resources, but they are designed for different requirements.
Self-managed KVM VPS is intended for customers who want full root control and prefer to configure their own server environment. It is particularly useful for developers, technical teams and system administrators.
Managed cPanel VPS is intended for customers who want a more familiar website hosting environment with cPanel and WHM. Tremhost provides the server setup and management services according to the selected management level.
If you are running a web design agency or hosting multiple customer websites, a Managed cPanel VPS may be more appropriate than a standard self-managed server.
Explore Tremhost Managed VPS to compare the available options.
Who Needs VPS Hosting?
VPS hosting can be a good choice for developers who need root access, businesses running custom applications, agencies managing demanding websites and technical teams that need a configurable server environment.
It is also suitable for businesses that have outgrown shared hosting but do not yet require an entire physical dedicated server.
However, a VPS is not automatically the right choice for everyone. If you simply want to host a basic company website, a shared hosting package may be easier to manage and more affordable.
If you need a server but do not want to handle operating system administration, consider a managed VPS instead.
The best option is the one that matches your workload, technical capabilities and budget.
VPS Hosting vs Shared Hosting vs Dedicated Servers
Shared hosting, VPS hosting and dedicated servers are designed for different stages of growth.
With shared hosting, you receive an account within a shared hosting environment. It is suitable for smaller websites, blogs, company websites and other projects that do not require extensive server control.
With VPS hosting, you receive an independent virtual server with allocated resources and greater administrative control. It is useful for custom applications, growing websites and projects that need a specific server configuration.
With a dedicated server, you rent an entire physical server. This is generally suitable for larger workloads, high-resource applications and businesses that require more control over the underlying hardware.
If you are not sure which option to choose, start by considering how much CPU, RAM, storage and technical control your application actually needs.
You can also explore Tremhost shared hosting and dedicated server solutions before making a decision.
