ArkHost Linux VPS plans are hosted in Stockholm, Sweden. Check the current product page for each plan's vCPU count, RAM, NVMe storage, transfer allowance and price.
CPU, memory and storage
Size the VPS for the complete workload: the operating system, application, database, background tasks, logs and updates. A vCPU count is not a promise of dedicated physical CPU cores or a fixed application throughput.
Leave memory and disk space available for peaks and growth. Investigate memory pressure and rapidly growing logs before assuming a larger plan is the only answer.
Network transfer
Each plan has a transfer allowance. Check the current allowance and ask support if your application has unusual bandwidth requirements. A network speed or allowance does not guarantee throughput to every destination.
Included VPS backups
The current VPS range includes 7 backup slots. Open your VPS in the ArkHost Client Area to view available backups and the current schedule. Slots are capacity for saved backups, not a promise that seven backups already exist or that a particular retention period applies.
The Client Area shows backup information and lets you restore an available backup to the same VPS. It does not provide controls to create or delete backups or change their schedule.
Restoring a backup overwrites the current disk contents. Copy any newer files elsewhere before restoring, check the selected backup date and confirm that you have chosen the correct VPS. Verify your application after restoration.
Keep an independent copy
Keep important files and database exports in a separate location. Provider backups do not replace an application-aware backup or an off-server copy. Test that you can recover the data you need.
Changing resources
Contact support if you need more CPU, RAM or storage. There is no self-service package upgrade in the Client Area. We will confirm the available options before you make a change.
This article describes the current Linux VPS range. For an older VPS service, use the controls and terms attached to that service or ask support to confirm.
