Our multi-region support lets you deploy these VMs in any Sharktech data center allowing you to place your services closer to your users for the lowest possible latency. Enjoy total freedom to design your infrastructure: one large VM in Los Angeles, ten small VMs spread across Chicago and Amsterdam, or any combination you choose.

Do you need a VPS or something more?

We know it can be tricky to decide; let us help.

Often, a single VPS is more than most applications or websites need, so if you’re not sure give a Tiny plan a try; spin up a small project today for only $7.95.

A virtual server (VPS) in general is best for small businesses or developers seeking an affordable, scalable, and easy to manage share of hardware. Sharktech’s Smart VPS is the best choice for users who value reliability, flexibility, and full OS control at a predictable price.

For high-traffic or resource-intensive workloads we do recommend Dedicated Cloud or Private Cloud resources. They are ideal for organizations requiring API, high availability, and integrations, and for complex modern distributed applications. Or, if you’re looking for full control or custom hardware like GPUs look at our Dedicated Servers.

Smart VPS provides significant advantages over traditional hosting solutions. With a VPS, resources such as CPU, RAM, and storage are reserved for your environment. That means platforms like WordPress, Joomla, or Magento websites can handle higher traffic, run faster, and remain stable even during peak usage. For web applications built on frameworks like Node.js, Django, or Ruby on Rails, Smart VPS allows you to install and configure custom software, and fine-tune your stack for optimal performance while avoiding the high cost of other solutions. For databases, you can run any database like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB without arbitrary limits imposed by a cloud or service provider. You can even run more than one database on a single Smart VPS instance. Real-time applications like Rocket.Chat, Mattermost, Minecraft, and CS:GO demand consistent performance, low latency, and customization. Smart VPS delivers the stability, speed, and flexibility needed for secure, reliable, real-time experiences. Sound like too much work? Did you know we also offer application hosting?

The network matters, get the best.

Customers hosting websites, gaming servers, or cloud services on Sharktech’s network experience lower ping times and smoother performance, even during peak traffic periods, with full support for both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity. You will benefit from fewer disruptions and more consistent connectivity, thanks to Sharktech’s redundant peering arrangements. Applications that rely on real-time data such as VoIP (Asterisk), video streaming (Wowza, Red5), and online gaming (Minecraft, CS:GO) perform better when running on a well-peered network, with less stutter and lag.

We are our own ISP.

Sharktech uses carrier grade equipment and peers at major Internet Exchange Points, providing direct access to thousands of networks worldwide. Direct peering helps Sharktech’s advanced DDoS protection systems filter malicious traffic closer to the source, improving response times and reducing the impact on legitimate users.

Discover our network by searching for us on speedtest.net and librespeed.org, or by exploring our IP ranges and peering information on any of the following sites: bgp.tools, ipinfo.io or peeringdb.com

Smart VPS FAQ

How is a Smart VPS different from shared hosting?

Unlike shared hosting, a VPS gives you dedicated resources and full control over the server environment. Shared hosting means resources are split among many users, and customization is limited.

You don’t need to be an expert, but some technical knowledge is helpful when managing a VPS. Basic familiarity with server administration, such as using the command line, managing software updates, and configuring security settings, is recommended—especially for unmanaged VPS plans. If you prefer not to handle the technical aspects, we also offer Cloud Application Platform, where setup, maintenance, and security are handled for you, allowing you to focus on your applications or website.

Yes! Smart VPS is a cheaper alternative to Dedicated Servers, as they allow multiple people to share the cost of a server and increases the efficiency of the data center.

You can store whatever data, files, images, videos, and anything else on Smart VPS and host any applications you want: websites, game servers, Plex, Nextcloud, etc.

You typically access a Linux VPS via SSH and a Windows VPS via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

You have the ability to create an unlimited number of virtual machines as long as you have the resources for it. Otherwise, you are limited to the resources purchased. That can be upgraded at any time as your needs grow or shrink.

Smart VPS VMs are hosted on a Proxmox cluster with multiple 40G interconnects, the location chosen on VM creation.

No, there no such classification. What you’re likely referring to is that some providers, in an effort to fight VPNs, will explicitly allow only ISPs with residential customers to access their site.

Yes, VPS servers are popular for running game servers like Minecraft, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and ARK: Survival Evolved due to their flexibility and dedicated resources.

You have full administrator access, so you can install most software, provided it’s compatible with your OS and the terms of service.

We offer various Linux distributions including Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, AlmaLinux, etc.
Windows Server is available with an ISO install where you can bring your own key.
