Your Virtual Private Server is automatically provisioned with your choice of CentOS or Ubuntu, and a firewall. No more software overhead, no more slow servers. That means that you have total control and freedom to customize, optimize, and set up your VPS server to your exact needs. Whether you want Apache, NGINX, PHP, MySQL, custom services, or anything else, you're able to do so with our Self-Managed VPS servers. |

With many other VPS plans, they cut off and limit your resource usage. Our Self-Managed VPS plans are different in the sense that they offer Burstable RAM limits. You will have a dedicated amount of RAM during low traffic periods (1.5GB for Self-Managed VPS-1000, 3GB for Self-Managed VPS-2000 and 6GB for Self-Managed VPS-3000), but are able to use a higher amount during high traffic surges and spikes. |

At the end of the day, you need a reliable VPS that stays online, doesn't crash, and isn't slow. Our next generation VPS platform is highly available. We achieve this through 2X hardware duplication and 3X data replication. That means that even if something happened to your node, or even our infrastructure, we automatically switch to a backup. Spend less time fighting your web hosting company, and more time building your projects. |

Ever wanted more CPU and processing power without the cost of buying another server? InMotion Hosting is unique in how we handle CPU Cores for our Virtual Private Servers. Just like Burstable RAM, we give you flexible resource limits with CPU Cores. Whether you only need a single core for a simple script, or multiple cores for a heavy traffic custom application, our VPS platform automatically adapts to your processing needs. This ensures that no matter what your task is, it's done quickly and efficiently. |

Increase your redundancy with VPS snapshots. We now offer two kinds of VPS snapshots: Live-State and Scheduled. While both are used to create full container backup of your Virtual Private Server as a failsafe to roll back to in case of any issues, Live-State Snapshots are meant as an on-demand feature while Scheduled Snapshots can create a snapshot up to once a day! Whether it's an operating system or programming language update/upgrade, or for something as simple as a single website edit, our snapshot features enable you to go back in time and revert your container to the exact state it was in when you took the snapshot, including technology versions, content and even live processes. |

While Self-Managed and Managed VPS servers are built on the same high performance platform and reliable infrastructure, Managed VPS Hosting includes extra support and optimizations to make managing your server easier. Self-Managed VPS does not include server management, which means you will have to update your server via the command line. Self-Managed VPS does not include cPanel or WHM either, meaning you will have to manage any services you require or choose to use (like email and DNS management).
Self-Managed VPS is perfect for system administrators running remote services and scripts, and developers who need a fast and flexible development environment. If you're comfortable with the command line, need to customize and configure your own VPS to exactly what you want, need a streamlined and efficient workflow to stay productive, or want maximum resources without unnecessary software getting in your way, then a Self-Managed VPS server is perfect for you!
That's the beauty of this product - almost nothing. We only install the operating system you choose (CentOS, Ubuntu, or Debian) as your base OS and a firewall for security. Everything else is up to you. Whether that's programming languages, email services, remote cron jobs, or a command line based web server, you are free to install and configure your Self-Managed VPS server to exactly what you need.
Because you know exactly what you're looking for, and you're comfortable managing your own server via the command line, we just want to give you access to your VPS and let you be on your way. A Self-Managed VPS doesn't come with all the bells and whistles of a Managed VPS - and in your case, that's good. No more sluggish servers or software bloat! We've included tools, described below, to help you resolve possible problems that you may encounter. Outside of that, we do have an A La Carte service available called Managed Hosting, available in blocks of 1-3 hours, in which we can provide our best effort to help you resolve your issue.
Whether you're accessing your VPS for the first time, or locked yourself out accidently, we can help you get back in. We offer a public-private key management system, available in AMP, to control your key access. If you've accidently locked yourself out due to changing your firewall rules, we also have a Flush Firewall tool to reset your firewall and get you back in - so you can continue your work.
If for some reason you've misconfigured your system files, or it otherwise becomes unusable, we've also provided a Re-OS tool, available in AMP. This tool will reset your VPS back to a new, fresh state - as if has just been provisioned for the first time. This tool should only be used as a last resort as it will erase the data currently stored on your VPS, but it will get you back to a usable state.
When you purchase a Self-Managed VPS from InMotion Hosting, you also get a number of other invaluable tools to help you manage your account and server. Within AMP (your account management panel), you'll have a Resource Monitoring Dashboard which displays your server usage over time including bandwidth, storage, RAM, and load, helping you stay on top of resource demands. You also get snapshot management. With Live-State Snapshots, you can capture an image of your VPS in that instant, including live processes, in which you can roll back to. You also have the ability to purchase additional hosting, dedicated IP addresses, and manage your account and billing details in an easy-to-use interface.
Powered by Virtuozzo, our cloud nodes are comprised of several servers that maintain multiple copies of your virtual private server data for redundancy and greater uptime.

cPanel is a powerful Linux-based control panel that simplifies managing, configuring and automating your web server, making your life easier. Included with cPanel is Web Host Manager (WHM), which streamlines server management tasks and allows you to run a scalable online business. All of our VPS Hosting plans include a FREE cPanel / WHM license, meaning you get all of the power and functionality these tools have to offer, at no extra cost to you. Below are some of the ways cPanel + WHM can improve your web hosting experience.
Hosting ManagementcPanel and WHM give you all the power you need when managing multiple sites, domains and clients. Create as many cPanel accounts as you need within WHM's account dashboard, assigning the cPanels to each respective property. Once set up and assigned, you can view usage, manage account stats, modify, upgrade or suspend accounts and much more. This allows you to manage your server exactly how you want it, including splitting your clients up for billing, resource and support purposes. |
|
Email ManagementFor someone managing multiple properties, or even one big property, managing email accounts can be a hassle. cPanel makes this process much easier, allowing you to add email addresses, access your email via webmail, set up email clients and choose the default email account for your site. Our VPS Hosting accounts also allow you to create an unlimited number of email addresses on your cPanel account. |
|
|
cPanel Transfer ToolIf you already have a number of clients hosted with various other cPanel-based hosts, our VPS Hosting plans all come with Launch Assist, 2 free hours of time with our System Administrators that can be used for migrating your sites. cPanel also has a powerful interface for transferring multiple accounts, providing you have root and SSH access to your current server. This transfer tool, which has step-by-step walkthrough and documentation on the cPanel site, was created to help designers, developers and agencies to quickly and easily move a number of accounts from one server to another. |
|
Storing/Scheduling BackupsWHM's Backup Configuration section is one of the most powerful and vital tools for an administrator of multiple sites. It allows you to manage each of your individual cPanel backups separately, giving you the choice of backup cadence (daily, weekly, monthly and manually) and location. Preserving your clients business-critical files, data and site content is of the utmost importance. Work with your clients on implementing a backup schedule and location that is appropriate for their site(s) and make sure they have the peace of mind that their data and site material are safe. |
Resell Your HostingIf you host or manage a number of different sites, cPanel and WHM provide you with all of the tools you need to manage and resell your VPS Hosting resources. As a Reseller, you can create multiple cPanel accounts, allocate resources and bill your clients, all within WHM's powerful Reseller interface. This feature is an all-in-one tool for designers, developers and agencies that host multiple clients with one account. |
|
|
NameserversThere is a good chance that your company or the clients you are hosting will want to create their own custom nameservers for their properties, opting to use ns.yourdomainhere.com over a host-specific nameserver. Updating nameservers for domains is very simple within our Account Management Panel (AMP). If your domain is currently with another host/registrar, you also have the option of pointing the nameservers to ns1.inmotionhosting.com without transferring the domain to InMotion Hosting. Creating custom nameservers requires root access, which is available by request for all VPS Hosting plans. |
Server Software MaintenanceNot everybody is a server administrator, which is why our managed VPS servers and cPanel make server maintenance easier than ever. cPanel provides automatic updates for a myriad of deployable software, meaning you don't have to constantly monitor updates for your website(s). If you want to update your server software manually for integration and compatibility reasons, that capability is provided for you as well within the Server Configuration section of cPanel. |

Because an unmanaged, command line VPS requires your own maintenance and setup, we highly suggest this product to those already comfortable with Linux and the command line. Not sure if this is what you need or worried about missing a control panel? Start a conversation with one of our Linux hosting experts and they'll point you in the right direction.
Want to simplify your business and make running your websites even easier? Our Managed VPS Hosting is built on the same, powerful VPS Hosting platform but includes hands-free server management, a cPanel/WHM license, and Optimized Configurations to help you handle more traffic.
