We manage the operating system and server environment, so developers and content teams can focus on building and running Craft CMS sites without managing the underlying web hosting environment. Because Craft CMS benefits from highly optimized PHP environments, our Craft-focused managed VPS environments align closely with our green hosting approach, delivering strong performance while reducing unnecessary resource overhead.
Use SFTP, pull from a Git repository, or deploy through CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions, Buddy, or similar services. How you deploy is up to you, our Managed VPS environment stays out of the way.
All VPS plans include five encrypted, off-server and off-site full-system backups at no additional cost. These are full-disk restore points designed for rolling back or recovering the entire server to a specific point in time. Backups run automatically each week, and you can change the schedule, create on-demand backups, or mark restore points as protected. Additional retention options are available if needed.
Need more CPU or RAM? You can scale your VPS up or down as your needs change. Because of how KVM virtualization works, disk sizes can’t be reduced once increased. To keep scaling simple and predictable, all plans use fixed disk sizes while allowing CPU and memory to scale independently.
Choose from multiple deployment regions across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. We currently operate in 5+ regions with 10+ data centers. If you’re looking for a location we don’t list yet, feel free to reach out.
Our VPS platform runs on high clock-speed AMD EPYC processors with enterprise-grade NVMe Gen 4 storage and RAID protection. The focus is on predictable compute and disk performance, giving you a stable production environment without oversubscription or surprises.
User-level SSH access gives you command-line access to common Linux tools. This includes managing user crontabs, working with user-level systemd services, and creating SSH tunnels for accessing databases with local tools such as MySQL clients.
When required, Craft CMS support engineers may be granted access to the server environment to assist with troubleshooting.
This allows the Craft CMS and Arcustech support teams to work together when a support case is opened with Craft, helping resolve issues more efficiently while maintaining appropriate access boundaries.
Arcustech works closely with the Craft CMS team to ensure our managed VPS environments align well with real-world Craft CMS requirements.
Our Craft CMS Hosting – Managed VPS plans reflect that collaboration, with server-level tuning, security hardening, and OS maintenance tested before changes are applied. This helps provide a stable and predictable foundation for running Craft CMS projects.
Your VPS is prepared at the server level to support Craft CMS requirements, including the necessary PHP extensions and common configuration options, so you can start building without additional setup.
You can choose MySQL or PostgreSQL, both of which are configured to work well with Craft CMS. Database settings are adjusted automatically to match your VPS resources as you scale CPU or memory.
The server stack also includes standard performance features such as an Nginx proxy in front of Apache for SSL handling, gzip compression, and HTTP/2 support, while maintaining full .htaccess compatibility.
Redis is pre-installed on Craft CMS Hosting – Managed VPS servers and available for use with Craft CMS caching.
The Redis service and PHP extension are configured at the server level, and memory settings are adjusted automatically as your VPS resources change. This provides a consistent Redis environment without requiring manual server configuration.
For projects that require multiple servers or more specialized roles, we’re happy to help plan a multi-VPS configuration, including private networking and more advanced layouts.
No. Our Craft CMS Optimized VPS plans do not include installing, managing, or maintaining Craft CMS for you. This allows clients to manage and maintain Craft with any deployment methods their developers already utilize. If you are looking for help with Craft CMS at that level Craft Partners are a great place to get started.
Yes. All VPS plans are provided one (1) dedicated IPv4 IP address and one (1) dedicated IPv6 address. For SSL traffic, we support both multiple-domain certificates or SNI for multiple single domain SSL certificates on a single IP address.
Yes. VPS plans include 1 primary domain (public_html) and 10 additionally configured secondary domains, each mapping to its own document root directory (example.com_html), within your account. If you need more, they can be added for a one-time $5 fee, each.
VPS Starter plans include 1 primary domain (public_html) and 4 additionally configured secondary domains. To add more secondary domains, you will need to upgrade to a non-Starter plan level.
Yes. all of our servers provide user level shell access with standard tools like git, sFTP, rsync, scp available for file transfers and ssh tunneling for secure, remote MySQL cli and GUI access.
Anything requiring root/sudo access for modifications (ie. apache config, restarting services, etc.), are accomplished as a managed service by opening a request with our Support Team.
No. Those solutions are not meant to scale beyond a single server. To keep consistency across our Single and Multi Server solutions, our team handles full root/sudo management services via our Support & Technical Teams, and off-load the OPS (Operations) tasks from your Developers.
