My understanding of VPSes were that they were typically unmanaged - similar to a dedicated server in usage but which was actually running on hardware that also handled several other VPSes. I actually still use one today.
Am I misunderstanding?
- VoidWhisperer 4y agoYou are correct. I think what the parent post means to refer to is 'managed/web hosting' where the provider provides a set up install of a web server (and in many cases cpanel access)
- wrycoder 4y agoVPS: customer has root on a virtual server, usually sharing the hardware. Customer is responsible for all upgrades. The parent post is referring to what I would call shared hosting, with no root access. The customer is not responsible for base server upgrades.
