Managed VPS Hosting

With Fully Managed VPS Hosting, GoDaddy takes care of all the maintenance, management, and technical aspects of your Virtual Private Server (VPS). With Fully Managed plans, you get the dedicated CPU, RAM and storage that comes with standard VPS hosting plans. Plus, the responsibility of managing and maintaining the servers falls on us – not you.

Some of the benefits of Fully Managed VPS plans include:

• Automatic updates: GoDaddy will take care of software patches and update, keeping your server environment secure and up to date.
• 24/7 expert support: Our VPS experts are available around the clock, monitoring your server and ready to answer any questions you might have.
• Scalability: Quickly scale resources (such as CPU, RAM, and storage) to match the increasing needs of your website or application.

GoDaddy offers both self-managed VPS and fully-managed VPS hosting. For all Self-Managed VPS plans, you get: 

• Automated daily backups.
• Monitoring of server uptime, CPU, RAM, and storage.
• Notifications if issues arise.
• Optional control panels (cPanel/WHM or Plesk Obsidian Webhost Edition) for easy server administration. 
• Access to extensive resource library.
• Ability to pay for task-based admin services from our team of experts (English only). 

GoDaddy’s Fully-Managed VPS plans include all the great features of self-managed plans, and you don’t have to manage your servers; the support cost for tasks is built in with your plan’s pricing. The fully managed plans are a great choice if you don’t have the time or admin skills to manage a VPS. And though you’re responsible for the content you put on the server, our team of experts are here to keep your server online — and running smoothly.

Review the below steps to determine the best Fully Managed VPS Hosting plan for your needs.

• Assess your resource needs: Determine required resources for your website or application and the types of support you would like to have.
• Evaluate your reasons for switching: If you’re migrating an existing site, identify reasons for the move (e.g., slow performance, 404 errors during peak traffic, low storage). Recognizing the specific reasons help you determine the most appropriate plan.
• Analyze data usage: Review your current site's data usage to understand the necessary CPU, RAM, and storage resources needed for optimal performance.
• Consider future scalability: Choose a hosting provider that allows you to easily upgrade resources if your website's demands grow over time.
• Prioritize backup and restore: Look for plans that offer backup and restore capabilities to help safeguard your data and ensure quick recovery in case of unforeseen issues.
• Consider server monitoring tools: Consider if the VPS provider offers server monitoring tools that offer alerts for potential issues — and facilitate proactive management.

In general, for users who are new to VPS or those seeking hassle-free server management, Fully Managed VPS Hosting from GoDaddy is a great choice. With a dedicated team of experts handling setup, monitoring, issue resolution, and ongoing server optimization, you can focus on your website while enjoying top-notch support for all your inquiries.
