In briefA VPS gives you a virtual server with reserved resources and root access. This guide explains when it makes sense to move from shared hosting, which technologies matter, the difference between a managed and an unmanaged VPS and what you get at HostON.

What VPS hosting is and why it matters for your business in 2026

A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtual machine running on a physical server, with reserved CPU, memory and disk (Wikipedia). It has its own operating system and root access, so you install whatever you need.

On shared hosting, several accounts use the same server and the same operating system, each with its own limits. On a VPS, the server is yours, but so is looking after it.

The VPS hosting market in 2026: what has changed

NVMe disks and KVM virtualisation have become standard for VPS. OpenVZ, widely used a few years ago, has been replaced at most providers. KVM gives each virtual server its own kernel.

What really differs between offers: the physical processors, how loaded the node is, the included traffic, backups and who manages the server.

VPS vs. shared hosting: when it is time to make the move

  • You need software that hosting does not allow: your own services, special database versions, Docker containers, processes that run permanently.
  • You often hit the plan limits: in cPanel you can see the CPU, memory and process graphs. If you are often at the limit, you need more.
  • You want full control over the web server, the firewall and the configuration.

There is no fixed threshold of visitors or products after which you must move to a VPS. A well-optimised shop runs fine on hosting for a long time, while a site with heavy plugins may need a VPS sooner.

If you just want more resources, but without managing a server, the Web Performance plans give you plenty of memory and CPU, with cPanel and backups handled by us.

How much a VPS costs in Romania in 2026 and which technologies to look for

Compare offers on the same criteria:

  • the number of vCPUs, the memory and the disk space (NVMe or SATA);
  • the type of virtualisation (KVM is the most widespread);
  • how many IPv4 addresses are included and how much additional ones cost;
  • whether the VPS is managed or not;
  • the written SLA and what compensation you get if it is not met.

At HostON, VPS servers run on Proxmox VE with KVM and NVMe disks, include 1 IPv4 address (additional IPv4 1.99 €/month) and have a 99% annual SLA. Prices are fixed, in euros, with invoicing in lei (RON) at the BNR (National Bank of Romania) exchange rate. You can see them on the VPS servers page.
