# VPS Hosting {% embed url="" %} The SVS cloud platform is feature rich web platform made for customers to easily purchase Virtual Private Servers (VPS) that are optimized and designed from the ground-up to give users the absolute best experience possible when interacting with our RPC services. With the exception of some third-party integrations for accepting payments, every other aspect of this platform is self-hosted on our own hardware and purposely designed for our customers use cases. We have spent multiple months architecting and engineering this solution from the ground-up with the following goals in mind: * Speed * Security * User features * Scalability ### Speed Our goal was to offer the absolute lowest latency connection to Solana RPC nodes anyone could possibly achieve; being only limited by Moore's Law and physics. All of our cloud services are hosted on our own hardware and strategically colocated in the same data center as all of our other RPC infrastructure. Additionally, we have dedicated physical cross-connections between cabinets hosting our cloud infrastructure services and our Solana RPC services. Combined with a strategic network architecture and high performance dedicated networking equipment, this translates into ultra-fast low latency interactions with our Solana services. ### Security We understand security more than most and we think you will notice that after reading through the [getting-started](https://docs.solanavibestation.com/services/vps-hosting/getting-started "mention") guide. It would be insecure of us to go into all the details here (pun intended) but we can assure you that all provisioned cloud services come locked-down by default. Additionally, all cloud services provisioned are completely isolated from one another using VLAN separation (OSI layer 2 isolation). This includes multiple services purchased by the same user account. SVS admins practice what we preach and utilize multi-factor authentication and IP Address Allow Lists in order to interact with our services from an administrative perspective. ### Customer Features By far the biggest improvement you will notice if you are an existing user on your older legacy VPS service offering, is the dramatic improvement in user features. Customers have the ability to mange almost every aspect of their purchases without having to wait on SVS admins to perform manual tasks. This includes flexible OS options, upgrading resources in real-time, automatic renewals, inviting collaborators, payment method options, automatic backups, and so much more. We recommend reading the [managing-your-service](https://docs.solanavibestation.com/services/vps-hosting/managing-your-service "mention") section to get a brief overview of some of the new features customer's will have access to. ### Scalability A major issue that we have been facing with our old VPS services was scaling. It was not easy to keep scaling our availability for reasons such as the manual work that went into provisioning these (which required customizations sometimes) and physical space in our existing colocation cabinet. With this new setup, we will be able to very easily scale with our demand. This is largely due to the amount of time and planning that went into launching this, as we wanted to make sure we got it right from the start! Be on the lookout as we add new purchase options! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
