Elastic VPS
Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting is popular among developers due to its high security, consistent hosting resources, and enhanced flexibility.
However, it necessitates manual configuration of the hosted program, which might be difficult for the typical developer. The requirement to grow owing to an application’s success adds another degree of complexity, making it challenging to maintain the service running and well-resourced while not overpaying for more capacity.
The platform addresses these scalability challenges with Elastic VPS stacks. These stacks are available on four different OS types – CentOS, Ubuntu, and Debian allowing you to choose the one that best meets your specific needs.
Elastic VPS stacks offer several distinctive features:
- Isolation: Each VPS is a completely independent instance, accessible only via a dedicated public IP, ensuring that no other account on the hardware can affect it.
- Full Control: You have root permissions, allowing you to manage your virtual server however you prefer.
- Scalability: The server can automatically scale vertically and horizontally by setting resource limits and specific triggers.
- Cost-Effectiveness: VPS is a cost-effective solution compared to purchasing and maintaining a physical dedicated server, thanks to the platform’s usage-based pricing model.
- Management Tools: Access to built-in platform tools simplifies configuration through the GUI dashboard.
- Managed Stack: The PaaS team maintains the Elastic VPS software, ensuring regular updates and full compatibility with the platform.
With this combination, you get an instance that is sophisticated enough to manage heavy loads from large applications and still be simple to administer.
