Zabbix_logo

VPSs are growing in popularity, with more than 30% of companies (including Shopify, Dropbox, and Reddit) keeping their entire infrastructure on them. However, VPS administrators face serious performance, security, and manageability issues. Often, these problems are caused by misconfigurations, which can lead to server overloads and data leaks.

The financial losses from these problems can be significant. For example, server downtime due to overloads affects a company's revenues. Data leaks can entail not only fines for violating data protection legislation, but also loss of customer confidence. As a result, insufficient attention to VPS settings can cost a company millions of rubles, as well as affect its reputation.

And this is where it's time to move to a VPS. Control over the server, flexibility of settings, the ability to expand resources as the site grows - this is what you need.
