Start with the problem you need to solve
VPS Ubuntu explains how to choose and operate virtual servers. Our guides cover resource planning, operating-system compatibility, first deployment and the conditions attached to free hosting. Each article addresses a distinct task, so you can move directly to the stage you need.
VPSuntu: author of these guides
VPS Ubuntu is operated by Metro Manhattan Office Space, Inc. Articles are published under the name VPSuntu. Our office address: 122 East 42nd Street, Suite 446, New York, NY 10168. Contact details.
VPSuntu writes the articles published on VPS Ubuntu. The guides cover server deployment, resource selection, Ubuntu compatibility, free cloud programmes and cloud instance setup. Focused follow-up guides cover SSH connection errors and restoring files, an application and its database.
Technical walkthroughs identify the environment they target and explain how to check the result. Provider conditions are checked against published documentation and labelled with a review date. Worked cost examples distinguish published rates and allowances from illustrative assumptions and values entered by the reader.
How we approach technical advice
Our guides cover release support, server administration and the conditions of hosting programmes. Resource estimates are labelled as starting points rather than benchmarks. Commands include context so that readers can distinguish a new server from a live system carrying important data.
We do not present invented customer reviews, uptime figures or performance comparisons. Before applying a guide to a production service, test the relevant steps against your own application and recovery requirements.
Evidence and its limits
Our published HTTP load observations and recovery exercises identify the environment, procedure and result. These are measurements of the documented hardware, application and workload. They do not establish how many visitors another application can serve or how long another recovery will take. Provider specifications, planning estimates and these measured results serve different purposes and are labelled accordingly.
Who the guides are for
For a first-time server owner, there is a deployment checklist. For a developer, there are resource and compatibility decisions. For a first cloud experiment, there is an Ubuntu VPS setup guide that checks free eligibility, SSH access and resource cleanup.
