Private VPS Parent

No, this is not a VPS serve in the traditional sense, nor is it a traditional Dedicated server. A Private VPS Parent server is most like our Cloud Dedicated servers with additional features.

Just like a Cloud Dedicated server, you are in a single tenant environment where virtual servers can be deployed with instant provisioning. Unlike other server types, the Private VPS Parent server can be used to create isolated VPS instances. In essence, you are creating Virtual VPS’s within a larger VPS environment.

The Private VPS Parent server itself will always be a managed product as it relies on our provisioning systems to work.

However, the VPS servers you create on a Private VPS Parent server will be set to the management level you choose upon creation. You can have a mixture of self managed, core managed or fully managed VPS servers hosted on a Private VPS Parent server!

Reselling on a Private VPS Parent server is rather simple; You simply need to setup and utilize WHMCS and then install our WHMCS Reseller Plugin! Once the plugin is set up in WHMCS, it will help automate server provisioning, client billing and more.

No! There is no additional cost to create additional VPS instances on your Private VPS Parent server. You can create as many VPS instances as you'd like with no additional charges. Your only limitation is the amount of available resources on the Private Parent.

The only potential costs related to VPS creation on a Private VPS Parent server will be for software and OS licensing fees (if any). These would only be applicable on server images that include additional proprietary software.

The most common use cases for Private VPS Parent are:

1. Reselling custom sized VPS (agencies and resellers)
2. Integrating with APIs / CMS such as WHMCS or others

You can not only choose between Windows and Linux operating systems, but also mix and match them within the same private parent. This allows you to create any number of Linux and Windows virtual instances on a single parent server.

Windows instances do require an additional licensing fee added to each individual instance. This fee is currently based on the CPU core count of the parent server? The fee will only be in effect as long as the Windows instances is active. MSSQL licensing will also be charged individually to the instance.

Yes, for managed instances there is an additional fee and a few resource minimums. For example, with cPanel/Managed templates there is a minimum of 880MB of RAM. With Windows managed/unmanaged instances the minimum RAM is 1750MB, and for Linux the minimum RAM is 512MB. Windows also requires 2 vCPUs, which will reflect upon the number of CPUs seen by the instance but have no direct relationship to the actual physical cores.

Yes, there are disk space minimum requirements that will be determined by the size of the template you are seeking to deploy.
