Frequently Asked Questions
What are VPS Servers?
A virtual private server (VPS) is a virtual server/machine that runs its own copy of an operating system, and customers may have superuser-level access to that operating system instance, so they can install almost any software that runs on that OS. For many purposes they are functionally equivalent to a dedicated physical server, and being software-defined, are able to be much more easily created and configured.
They are priced much lower than an equivalent physical server, but as they share the underlying physical hardware with other VPSs, performance may be lower, and may depend on the workload of other instances on the same hardware node.
How do I choose the right VPS server for my needs?
When choosing a VPS server, you should consider the following factors:
- Resources: How much CPU, memory, and storage do you need?
- Operating system: What operating system do you want to use?
- Control panel: Do you want a control panel like cPanel or Plesk?
- Support: What level of support do you need?
Why should I use VPS servers in Kenya?
There are a number of reasons why you should use VPS servers in Kenya, including:
- Local support: Using VPS servers in Kenya gives you access to local support teams who are familiar with the Kenyan market and can help you with any problems you may encounter.
- Better performance: VPS servers in Kenya are often located closer to your target audience, which can improve the performance of your website or application.
- Lower costs: In some cases, VPS servers in Kenya can be cheaper than VPS servers located in other countries.
- Compliance with localization laws(2019 Data Protection Rights Act): By using VPS servers located in Kenya, you can ensure that your data is stored and processed in accordance with Kenyan law. This is especially important for businesses that handle sensitive data or that are in compliance-regulated industries.
Will i get a Kenyan Public IP Adress with the Server?
Yes, if you order a VPS that’s located in our Keyan datacenter you get 1 Kenyan public Static IP with your VPS . You can request for more if you need them
What are the benefits of using VPS servers?
VPS servers offer a number of benefits over shared hosting, including:
- Improved performance: VPS servers are faster and more reliable than shared hosting because they have dedicated resources. This is especially important for businesses that run demanding web applications or databases.
- Increased security: VPS servers are more secure than shared hosting because each virtual server is isolated from the others. This means that if one virtual server is compromised, the other virtual servers are not affected.
- Greater control and flexibility: With VPS servers, you have full root access, so you can install and customize your server to meet your specific needs.
How do I get started with VPS servers?
To get started with VPS servers, you will need to choose a VPS provider and select a VPS plan that meets your needs. Once you have chosen a provider and plan, you will need to create an account and pay for your VPS.
Once your VPS is provisioned, you will need to log in to your VPS and install an operating system. Once the operating system is installed, you can begin installing and configuring your applications.
If you are new to VPS servers, it is recommended that you choose a VPS provider like SkyHost that offers managed VPS hosting. Managed VPS hosting providers will handle the setup and configuration of your VPS for you, and they will also provide ongoing support.
Here are some additional tips for getting started with VPS servers:
- Make sure that your VPS provider has a good reputation and offers 24/7 support.
- Choose a VPS plan that has enough resources to meet your needs.
- If you are new to VPS servers, it is recommended that you choose a managed VPS hosting provider.
- Back up your data regularly.
- Keep your software up to date.

What makes Skyhost Kenya VPS hosting different?
Many of the “big hosting” brands are still deploying Virtual Private Servers using virtualization software on an old-school dedicated server. This means they have one physical server, with spinning hard disks, RAM, etc. and use software to deploy multiple Virtual Private Servers. If just one of the many hardware pieces in the machine fails, it can send the entire parent server offline, crashing all the “child” or “virtual server” instances.
If you need to add resources to your virtual instance, they have to ensure they have enough RAM/Disk Space on the machine in order to re-image and allow you to have access. Sometimes this requires taking the entire machine offline and adding them.
All of this leads to unwanted downtime, decreased redundancy, and lack of scalability.
Our entire platform has been built to solve this situation and provide the highest quality VPS Hosting in the industry:
- 100% True Cloud Web Hosting – All of our VPS Hosting packages are deployed on top of our high speed cloud. We don’t rely on any single piece of hardware to power your VPS.
- Instantly Scalable – If you need to add more CPU power, RAM, or disk space, it can be done with a couple clicks of a mouse and minimal downtime (for a couple quick reboots).
- 99.9% Uptime – Since none of our VPS Hosting packages are relying on a single piece of hardware and we have multiple upstream providers we’re able to offer a highly redundant solution for your business.
- SSD Raid 10 Storage – We don’t use cheap SATA or other hard drives with moving parts that are known to fail! All of our VPS Hosting packages use Solid State Drives protected by Raid 10. This means that not only is your data being read/written extremely fast, it’s also automatically being replicated to another drive incase of a failure.
- Fully Managed – Don’t know how to do important software and kernel updates? Our Superhero Support team manages all aspects of your Operating System including critical updates and patching to ensure your server is up-to-date and patched for the latest security threats.
- CentOS 7 – All of our VPS Hosting packages come standard with CentOS 7. A free, enterprise-class, community-supported, Linux distribution. This is the operating system of choice for many very large organizations that will ensure maximum efficiency of your server.
