Frequently Asked Questions

What is Linux VPS?

A Linux VPS is a virtual private server that runs a Linux operating system. A physical server is divided into separate virtual machines, each with its own allocated CPU, RAM, storage and bandwidth. This provides a more isolated environment than shared hosting while costing less than renting an entire physical server. Time4VPS Linux VPS uses KVM virtualization. Your server has its own operating system and kernel, and you receive full root access. You can install software, change system settings and configure the server for your project. The service is self-managed, meaning you control the server but are also responsible for its software, security, updates and data.

What are the benefits of Linux VPS hosting?

Linux VPS hosting provides greater control, flexibility and resource isolation than standard shared hosting. The main benefits include:

Full root access for managing the operating system and server configuration.
Allocated CPU, RAM, storage and bandwidth according to the selected plan.
Freedom to install compatible applications, services and development tools.
A separate Linux kernel that you can update and customise.
KVM virtualization for an isolated virtual server environment.
Flexible plans that can be upgraded when your resource requirements increase.
Support for widely used Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux.

These features make a Linux VPS suitable for projects that require more control than shared hosting but do not need an entire dedicated server.

What is the difference between Linux VPS and shared hosting?

With shared hosting, multiple customers use the same server environment and hosting software. The provider manages the operating system and core server configuration, while customers usually manage their websites through a control panel. Access to system settings and server-level software is restricted. A Linux VPS gives you an isolated virtual machine with allocated resources and full root access. You can select the operating system, install your own software and configure the server according to your requirements. Choose a VPS when you need server-level control and have the technical knowledge to manage it.

Is Time4VPS Linux VPS self-managed, and what am I responsible for?

Yes. Time4VPS Linux VPS is a self-managed service. Time4VPS installs the initial operating system and maintains the physical hardware, network equipment and data centre infrastructure. As the server administrator, you are responsible for:

Installing, configuring and managing server software.
Administering and updating the operating system.
Securing SSH, applications, ports and user accounts.
Monitoring server resources and application performance.
Managing websites, databases, mailboxes and other stored data.
Creating and checking backups.
Troubleshooting software and configuration problems.

Time4VPS can help restore root access, and technical guides are available in the knowledge base. If you do not want to manage these tasks yourself, consider a Managed Linux VPS.

What can I do with a Linux VPS server?

You can use a Linux VPS for any compatible and lawful project that complies with the Time4VPS Terms of Service. Common uses include:

Hosting websites, online stores and multiple web applications.
Running APIs, databases and backend services.
Creating development, testing or staging environments.
Running Docker containers and automation tools.
Hosting private cloud storage or file-sharing services.
Configuring a private VPN server.
Running supported game servers.
Hosting monitoring, analytics or collaboration tools.
Learning Linux and practising server administration.

Before ordering, check the operating system, RAM, CPU, storage and bandwidth requirements of the software you intend to run. Some applications and control panels require more resources than entry-level plans provide.

Which Time4VPS Linux VPS plan should I choose, and how much does it cost?

Promotional and renewal prices depend on the selected billing period. VAT may be added according to the customer’s location unless a valid VAT number is provided.

Can I upgrade my Linux VPS resources later?

Yes. You can upgrade your Linux VPS to a larger plan through the Time4VPS Client Area. Select your VPS, open the management section, choose “Upgrade,” and then select the new package and billing cycle. The system calculates the amount due after you continue with the upgrade request. Once the order is completed, the upgrade is processed automatically. The VPS must be rebooted during the process, so a short interruption should be expected. According to the Time4VPS upgrade documentation, the existing server configuration and data are not deleted during a standard plan upgrade. However, you should still create a current backup before making any significant infrastructure change. See the VPS upgrade instructions.

What operating systems (OS) do you offer?

Time4VPS provides 64-bit operating system templates for several widely used Linux distributions:

AlmaLinux 8, 9 and 10
Rocky Linux 9 and 10
Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04
Debian 11, 12 and 13

Templates with Webmin or cPanel are also available for supported plans. A cPanel licence must be purchased separately for cPanel to work. Due to its limited resources, the Linux 1 plan does not support cPanel, DirectAdmin or Plesk. Operating system installation normally takes approximately 15–30 minutes. Available distributions and versions may change as operating systems reach the end of their supported lifecycle, so check the current operating system list before ordering.

What is KVM virtualization, and how does it benefit my Linux VPS?

KVM stands for Kernel-based Virtual Machine. It is a full virtualization technology that creates separate virtual machines on a physical server. Each KVM VPS has its own virtualized hardware, including its own kernel, disk, network interface and allocated resources. Time4VPS uses KVM for its Linux VPS plans and allocates CPU resources for use by the individual virtual server. Because the VPS has its own kernel, you have greater control over kernel versions and modules than with container-based virtualization. Applications generally behave as they would on an independent server, provided the selected plan supplies enough CPU, RAM and storage. This makes KVM suitable for custom server configurations, development environments and applications requiring kernel-level control.

Do I get full root and SSH access, and can I install my own software?

Yes. You receive full root access to your Time4VPS Linux VPS. The root credentials are available in the Client Area, and you can connect remotely through SSH using the server’s IP address. SSH keys can also be configured for more secure authentication. Root access allows you to install compatible applications, libraries, web servers, databases, control panels and other software. You can also change system settings, manage users, configure firewall rules and customise the Linux environment. All installations and configurations must comply with the Time4VPS Terms of Service. Remember that root access gives you complete administrative control. Incorrect commands or configurations can make the server inaccessible, so protect your credentials and create backups before making major changes. Learn how to connect to a Linux VPS.

Which version of Linux Kernel is available?

Time4VPS Linux VPS supports Linux kernel version 3.x or newer. Because the service uses KVM virtualization, your VPS has a kernel that is separate from the physical host and other virtual machines. You can update the kernel when your operating system, software or security requirements call for a newer supported version. You can also add or remove compatible kernel modules and adjust the kernel configuration. This is useful when an application requires a particular feature, filesystem, networking module or security capability. Kernel changes require server administration experience. Before updating or replacing a kernel, verify that it is compatible with your Linux distribution and installed software. Keep a working kernel available where possible and create a current backup before making the change.

Are backups included with Linux VPS hosting?

Backups are optional and are not included by default with the Linux VPS plans. You can add a backup component or order a paid one-time backup through the Client Area. A one-time backup can be created even if the VPS does not have the regular backup component. Time4VPS currently permits one such backup per day. The backup cannot be downloaded and can only be restored to the associated VPS. Because Linux VPS is a self-managed service, you remain responsible for protecting your data and confirming that backups can be restored. For important projects, use more than one backup method and keep an independent copy outside the VPS. This protects you if the server, account or provider-level backup becomes unavailable. Read the one-time backup instructions.

Where are the Time4VPS Linux VPS servers located?

Time4VPS servers are hosted in Vilnius, Lithuania. The European Tier III data centre uses redundant power and network systems to reduce the risk of service interruptions. Its infrastructure includes 100 Gbps of network capacity, five global transit providers, DDoS mitigation hardware and 2N network redundancy. Power infrastructure includes two high-voltage transmission lines, UPS systems, diesel generators and N+1 redundancy. Physical protection includes biometric access control, locked server racks, continuous video surveillance and onsite security staff. You can review network latency from different locations on the Time4VPS infrastructure page before ordering. This is particularly useful when most of your visitors or application users are outside Europe.
