VPS & Cloud Server — Full control, resources according to infrastructure package
When your website and application exceed the limits of shared hosting - whether in terms of traffic, requiring separate configuration, or needing a completely independent environment - VPS (Virtual Private Server) and Cloud Server are the next solutions. Unlike shared hosting where many websites share resources, VPS/Cloud gives you a separate virtual server with resources allocated separately according to the infrastructure package, not affected by other accounts on the same physical system.
Outstanding strengths of VPS/Cloud at MintStack
New generation hardware configuration
- CPU: AMD EPYC (Rome/Milan) or Intel Xeon Scalable — the highest performance server CPU lines on the market in 2026.
- RAM: DDR4 ECC (Error-Correcting Code) — memory that automatically detects and corrects hardware errors, ensuring data integrity.
- Storage: NVMe SSD enterprise-grade with IOPS up to 500,000 — handling thousands of database queries/second.
- Network: Bandwidth, uplink and latency depend on the provider, server location and infrastructure package the customer chooses.
Quick initialization, flexible scaling
The outstanding point of Cloud compared to traditional VPS is the ability to scale resources immediately:
- Initialize a new server within 60 seconds — no need to wait for manual setup.
- Upgrade RAM and CPU without restart server (live scaling) — maintain uptime when demand spikes.
- Create a snapshot (a snapshot of the entire server state) before making major changes — rollback in just 1 click if something goes wrong.
- Clone server quickly to clone production environment into staging/dev environment.
Full operating system management
Full root access allows installation and configuration of any software:
- OS: Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 LTS, Debian 12, CentOS Stream 9, AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 9, Windows Server 2022.
- Web Stack: LEMP (Nginx + MySQL + PHP), OpenLiteSpeed, Apache, Caddy.
- Containers: Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes (K3s/K8s for small setup).
- Database: MySQL 8.0, PostgreSQL 16, MongoDB 7, Redis 7, Elasticsearch.
Security & Monitoring
- Preconfigured Firewall follows the principle of least privilege — only opening necessary ports.
- SSH hardening: disable root login, key-based authentication, fail2ban.
- Real-time monitoring of resources (CPU, RAM, Disk, Network) with warnings when thresholds are exceeded.
- DDoS protection Layer 3/4 automatically at the data center level.
Outsourced Server Administration Service (Managed VPS)
For businesses without specialized IT personnel, MintStack provides full server management services: initial installation and configuration, periodic security updates, performance optimization, troubleshooting and monitoring according to the infrastructure package. Businesses have full control without needing to handle the technology themselves.
