What managed covers

Managed services, added where you need them.

VPS servers are delivered as unmanaged servers with basic monitoring. We then layer on managed services as required to meet your needs.

Included

Basic monitoring

Every VPS ships with basic telemetry so you can see that your server is up and running, at no extra cost.

Add-on

Advanced monitoring

Go beyond the basic numbers and follow more in-depth key figures, for example the usage of the resources, in order to be able to recognize problems early on.

Add-on

Uptime checks

External checks (e.g. Nagios) that monitor your services and alert you when a service stops responding.

On request

Managed OS updates

We can also update your operating system for you. We work off each request to ensure changes are what you require them to be.

Add-on

Proactive support

The Team will assist with parts of this that you don't want to manage yourself but that still need to be managed.

Add-on

Automated backups

You can choose to have backups done on a schedule, from once a week to every day, and keep them for up to 30 days. This is an extra feature that comes with each plan.

Managed or unmanaged

The same server, as hands-off as you like.

By "Managed" we don't mean a separate product locked down inside a VPS. Instead, the same KVM VPS that you would get as an "Unmanaged" VPS product, is offered with additional services on top of it. Therefore, you could start off with a completely "Unmanaged" VPS and then as required add on managed services to it. Similarly, you could start off with a completely "Managed" VPS and then as required remove services from it.

Same measured platform

Managed runs on proven hardware.

Adding managed services does not change the machine underneath. You get the same AMD EPYC platform and NVMe RAID10 storage, with every figure published as the median of five reproducible runs.

How to get it

Add management on the service page.

There is no separate product to buy. You order a VPS, then enable the managed services you want.

Simple to enable

Pick your VPS, then your services

All plans can be ordered as usual and then you can add in Advanced Monitoring, Uptime Checks, Backups or Managed OS Updates from the service page. Managed OS Updates are scope per request, i.e. nothing gets updated without your approval first.

You can add or remove managed services as your needs change.

Honest scope

What managed does and does not mean

Here at BuyVPS we manage the operations of the server for you. This means we handle the upgrades, the monitoring, the uptime and the support for you. We don't lock you out of your server. You are still responsible for the applications and the data that you have on the server.

Not sure what you need? Ask the team and we will point you the right way.

Where it runs

Managed in Amsterdam or New York.

Our managed VPS solutions can be hosted from a EU jurisdiction with peering on AMS-IX from Amsterdam or ultra low latency North America from New York, both on identical hardware and at the same price.

Written on Trustpilot, not here.

They live on Trustpilot, so we can't delete the ones we would rather not show. Open one, check the date, then hold our benchmark runs and our status page to the same standard.

FAQ

Managed VPS questions, answered.

What does Managed include?

On every VPS server of us we include basic monitoring. Next to this monitoring you can select from a long list of extra's, like advanced monitoring, uptime checks, auto-backups, managed OS updates and proactive support.

Is this a fully managed VPS?

This is an unmanaged VPS we offer with optional managed services on top. We can take care of the operations (updates, monitoring etc.) and you still handle your application and your data.

Do I still get root access?

You get to keep your full root access, regardless of whether you add managed services or not. The managed services will simply work alongside your existing access, without replacing it.

How are managed OS updates handled?

OS updates are available on request and are scoped per request, so you decide what gets updated and nothing changes on your server without your agreement.

How do I add managed services?

Order any VPS plan, then enable the managed services you want on the service page. You can adjust them later as your needs change.

Does managed include backups?

You can add backups to your plan, and they're optional. They can be set up to run from every week to every day, and you can keep them for up to 30 days. Backups can be added to your plan along with other services that are managed for you.
