A virtual server (VPS) or virtual private hosting 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 virtual private 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?

Sharktech’s customer-friendly support team is ready to help!
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.
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

Having real people behind the support of your VPS server matters because experienced, human support teams can quickly diagnose and resolve complex technical issues that automated systems or AI chatbots miss. Real support agents available 24/7 can provide personalized troubleshooting, restore backups, and offer best-practice advice tailored to your unique setup.
Reliable, human-powered support gives you peace of mind, knowing that experts are available 24/7 to protect your data, maintain uptime, and help your business or personal projects grow without technical roadblocks. Give it a try: Click on any live chat or support link. We have them everywhere unlike many big providers that hide them.
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 less expensive alternative to Dedicated Servers, as it allows multiple people to share the cost of a server and increase data center efficiency.
You can store 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. You can upgrade or downgrade your subscription without redeploying the VMs at any time as resource requirements change.
Smart VPS VMs are hosted on highly available and redundant Proxmox clusters with 40G interconnects in all Sharktech locations. You can choose the location for your VMs during the VM creation process.
No, there no such IP address classification. Some websites, in an effort to prohibit access via VPNs, will only allow access from ISPs with residential customers. Sharktech does not provide it.
Yes, VPS are popular for running game servers like Minecraft, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, ARK: Survival Evolved, and others 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, and others.
Windows Server is available with an ISO install but the OS requires activation. You can bring your own license or purchase it from us.
