Australian VPS

Take advantage of high-performance, enterprise-grade server infrastructure in state-of-the-art Australian datacentres.

KVM VPS

Unlike OpenVZ, a KVM VPS is fully isolated, putting you in full control of your hardware resources, plus our nodes aren’t oversold.

Supercharge with NVME

Don’t settle elsewhere for slower, less stable SSD storage when superior NVME delivers way faster website load times.

DDoS Protection

Our powerful network security measures include around-the-clock, heavy-duty defence against DDoS attacks, giving you peace of mind.

Root Access

Root access lets you retain full control, but you don’t have to worry about this if you opt for a Managed VPS because we’ll manage it for you.

Linux or Windows VPS

Get a Linux VPS or Windows VPS and be spoilt for choice with a range of operating systems, from Debian to Windows 2019, for deployment.

Remote Control

An easy-to-use remote console lets you troubleshoot issues when other access methods aren't available, as well as reboot your Australian VPS.

Managed VPS Options

If you don’t have the time or tech know-how to set up, secure, monitor, maintain and backup your server, a Managed VPS is best for you.

Australian VPS FAQ

Your Virtual Private Server Questions Answered

Do all servers have the same type of CPU cores?

Comparing virtual cores across providers can be challenging without knowing the hardware platform.

At Zen Hosting, we utilise powerful Supermicro servers, which have a ton of processing power.

If you require more information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Why is a KVM VPS best for me?

A KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) VPS may be the ideal choice for you due to its many benefits including complete resource isolation, ensuring dedicated resources like CPU, RAM and storage are available for your applications, leading to better performance and stability.

Additionally, KVM offers true hardware-level virtualisation, allowing for enhanced customisation, improved security and compatibility with various operating systems.

With a KVM VPS, you can install your preferred operating system and configure it according to your specific requirements, giving you a high degree of control and customisation.

If you need more information, our expert team is always available to provide guidance and assistance.

What add-ons can enhance an Australian Windows VPS?

You can boost your Australian Windows VPS with practical software add-ons, designed to optimise performance and streamline server administration. In addition to VPS Management, consider these options:

Plesk Obsidian Control Panel
Efficiently manage your server using Plesk Obsidian, a powerful and user-friendly platform featuring comprehensive security and monitoring tools for a seamless user experience.

Kaspersky
For comprehensive protection, we recommend Kaspersky. It's designed to guard against viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

MSSQL
Microsoft's MSSQL is a robust relational database management system available in various editions to suit your specific requirements. You can use the free version of MSSQL if your database is smaller than 10GB.

MSSQL
Explore these valuable add-ons to optimise your server's capabilities and support your online presence.

What add-ons are available for an Australian Linux VPS?

Elevate your Australian Linux VPS with our selection of high-performance software add-ons, designed to optimise performance, streamline administration and secure your online presence. In addition to Management, consider these top-quality options:

cPanel WHM
Effortlessly manage website files, MySQL databases, email accounts and more with the cPanel control panel, while WHM enables you to administer cPanel, including the creation and suspension of cPanel accounts. Opt for a managed service in Australia and enjoy a complimentary cPanel WHM installation.

DirectAdmin
Like cPanel, DirectAdmin simplifies website administration. We support both cPanel and DirectAdmin, making it easy to choose the best fit for your needs.

CloudLinux
Take control of resources, enhance security and boost performance with CloudLinux. It also has the convenience of a PHP version selector. We can install and configure CloudLinux on Managed Servers in Australia.

LiteSpeed
Upgrade to LiteSpeed for faster page load times and WordPress acceleration, replacing Apache for a more efficient experience.

Softaculous or Installatron
Simplify software installation on your Dedicated Server in Australia with these one-click auto-installers.

Upgrade your VPS experience with these add-ons, tailored to maximise your server's potential and help your online presence thrive.

Why should I opt for VPS Management?

Managing a server can be challenging and time-consuming, especially for those with limited technical know-how. Zen Hosting's VPS Management stands out by offering a more comprehensive solution compared to most providers.

Our experienced experts in Australia start by securing your system and proactively monitoring its performance and health, taking into account factors such as CPU usage and load.

We offer extensive support for system administration and technical issues, perform necessary software upgrades, and can even set up and manage backups on your behalf.

Keep in mind that hosting providers vary in their skills, practices and services when it comes to VPS Management. Zen Hosting's optional Management is trusted by a diverse clientele, from tech beginners to seasoned IT professionals across Australia.

By choosing our Management service, you can leave the crucial tasks to us, ensuring your system remains secure and runs optimally. Without VPS Management, you’re responsible for all these tasks.

Why does the price of VPS Management vary at different providers?

Each provider's management offerings vary, impacting pricing.

A great indicator of the support you'll receive is how promptly and thoroughly they address your sales inquiries.

So, why not put us to the test? You'll be pleasantly surprised by our exceptional service.

Why should I choose Zen Hosting?

Zen Hosting stands out as a proudly Australian-owned business, not part of an overseas conglomerate.

We're committed to delivering exceptional service and affordable solutions for the long haul.

Our premium servers, housed in Australian datacentres on quality networks, are never oversold, ensuring a smooth performance without unwanted slowdowns.

Our proactive approach and dedication to addressing customers' needs set us apart. When technical issues arise, our skilled support team resolves them swiftly and efficiently.

At Zen Hosting, our genuine passion for web hosting and customer service drives our excellence.
