So you’ve decided to upgrade to a VPS—great move.
But now comes the next question:

Which VPS plan should you choose?

With so many options (RAM, CPU, storage, OS), it can be overwhelming—especially if you’re new to server hosting. But don’t worry. In this article, we’ll guide you step-by-step to pick the VPS that matches your goals and technical needs.

✅ 1. Know What You’ll Use It For

Start by asking: What do you plan to host on the VPS?

Here are some common use cases and the resources they typically need:

💡 Tip: Always choose a plan that leaves room for growth.

🧠 2. Understand the Key Resources

🖥️ CPU (vCore)

Handles processing tasks.

• More users = more CPU needed

• Dynamic sites or apps benefit from multiple cores

🧠 RAM

Stores temporary data for faster access.

• Crucial for CMS (WordPress, Magento), databases, or concurrent sessions

💾 Storage

Stores files, databases, logs, etc.

• SSD is faster and more reliable than HDD

• Consider remote backup options if available

🌐 Bandwidth

Determines how much data you can transfer per month.

• Image/video-heavy or high-traffic sites need more

🛠️ 3. Managed or Unmanaged?

Ask yourself:

• Do I want to manage the server myself (updates, security, software)?
  → Choose unmanaged VPS

• Do I want PLiKhost to help with setup, monitoring, security, and support?
  → Go with managed VPS

🟢 PLiKhost offers both—so you can focus on your project, not server maintenance.

💡 4. Choose the Right OS and Control Panel

PLiKhost offers:

• Linux-based OS options (AlmaLinux, Ubuntu, Debian, etc.)

• Optional control panels (cPanel, Webuzo, etc.) for easier management

If you’re used to cPanel or want a visual interface, choose a plan with control panel support.

🔐 5. Consider Security and Backup Needs

• Does the VPS include free SSL, firewall, or Imunify360?

• Are remote backups available or included?

• Can you set up custom firewalls and monitoring?

At PLiKhost, we offer optional remote backup servers and Imunify360 protection for advanced plans.

🔄 6. How Easy Is It to Upgrade Later?

Make sure the provider (PLiKhost) allows easy scaling:

• Can you upgrade your RAM/CPU anytime?

• Will IP address or data stay intact?

• Are there downtime risks when upgrading?

PLiKhost VPS is scalable on demand, with minimal or no downtime.
