SELF-MANAGED VPS HOSTING

With a self-managed vps, you handle server management tasks such as OS updates, security hardening, package installs, and performance tuning.

VPS hosting gives you an isolated virtual private environment with allocated resources and a dedicated IP address, making it a strong middle ground for performance and control.
