Managed VPS: practical questions
Understand the configuration and responsibilities before requesting an order.
Can we keep our application developer?
Yes. Your developer can retain application responsibility while a management scope covers agreed infrastructure tasks. Name both contacts and define how changes and incidents are coordinated.
Are new applications automatically covered?
New workloads can change dependencies, resource use and support requirements. Request a scope review before adding an application to an existing management agreement.
Does management change the VPS resources?
Management and resource sizing are separate choices. The quotation identifies the server size and the tasks covered, so you can understand both the infrastructure price and the service fee.
How is this service priced?
The quotation identifies resources or subscriptions, selected operating work, taxes, licences and commercial commitments. Consulting and provider consumption charges are reviewed separately.
What should I send with an enquiry?
Describe the application or provider, current setup, users, data size and intended change. Avoid passwords, private keys and confidential business records.
Are backups or recovery included?
Confirm protected data, frequency, retention, storage location and restore responsibilities separately. Provider retention features do not automatically establish an independent backup arrangement.
How are support and management defined?
The approved scope lists tasks, channels, escalation and maintenance responsibilities. Any support hours or response commitments must be agreed for the service.
Can the configuration or subscription change later?
Changes depend on availability, software and commercial commitments. Review potential interruption, data, licences and costs before approving a resource or subscription change.
