Short answer
A VPS (virtual private server) is a server of your own inside a larger physical server. It has guaranteed CPU, RAM and storage, its own IP address and full root access, so you can install any software. Hostnali VPS plans start at UGX 111,520 a month.
With shared hosting, many websites share one server’s resources. A VPS splits a powerful server into separate virtual machines, and each one behaves like its own server.
What you get with a VPS
- Guaranteed resources: CPU cores, RAM and storage that other customers can’t use.
- Root access: install any software, any version, and configure the server how you want.
- Your own IP address, Ugandan on the Ugandan VPS.
- A choice of operating systems: popular Linux distributions, or Windows Server as an add-on.
Who needs a VPS?
- Developers running apps, APIs, bots or databases.
- Busy websites that outgrow shared hosting.
- Businesses running software such as ERP systems, n8n automations, Docker or a VPN.
- Traders who need MT4 or MT5 running 24/7 on a Windows VPS.
Self-managed or managed?
A VPS is self-managed by default: you look after the operating system, updates and security. If you’d rather we did, add our managed service at checkout, or see managed VPS. Backups aren’t included by default on a VPS; add them at checkout.
