A managed VPS with root or administrator access and resources that scale by slice.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
InterServer Managed VPS provides cloud virtual servers for websites, applications, databases, development and staging workloads, and control-panel hosting. It is aimed at users who want managed server support alongside direct server access, with Linux root access or Windows administrator access and Remote Desktop. Operating-system choices include Linux, BSD, and Windows, and resources scale through slices that add CPU, memory, SSD storage, and transfer capacity.
The published plan is Managed VPS — 8 Slices at $24 per month, billed monthly. It includes managed support, 4 cores, 16GB memory, 320GB SSD, 16TB transfer, and a 10Gbps shared port. Managed support is available on plans with eight or more slices and covers operating-system, service, database, control-panel, and common performance issues. This makes the eight-slice plan the entry point for buyers seeking managed assistance; those needing fewer resources should weigh that threshold before choosing the service.
Platform compatibility is a notable part of the offer: the service supports KVM and Hyper-V virtualization, and lists cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk, and Webuzo, plus applications and databases including WordPress, Magento, Joomla, Drupal, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. A VPS control panel provides start, stop, reboot, reinstall, DNS, and rebuild controls. Snapshots, server monitoring, a 99.9% uptime guarantee, and deployment in New York City, Dallas, or Los Angeles round out the infrastructure. Remote backup storage is optional, so buyers who require included remote backups should consider alternatives; those seeking managed VPS with broad operating-system and application compatibility are a better fit.
