Unmanaged VPS means you receive the virtual server and root-level access, while your team is responsible for the operating system, software stack, security configuration, updates and application troubleshooting.
Self-Managed Virtual Private Servers
Unmanaged SSD VPS Hosting
Full root access, SSD storage and flexible virtual-server resources for developers, system administrators and technical teams that prefer to manage the operating system, software stack and security configuration themselves.
Full Root Access
SSD Storage
Developer Control
Built for Technical Teams
Direct Control of Your VPS Environment
Unmanaged VPS is designed for customers who already know how to administer Linux servers or have a technical team that can manage the operating system, packages, web stack, application services, firewall rules and routine updates.
Systron provides the virtual-server infrastructure, while you control the software layer. That makes unmanaged VPS a strong choice for custom application stacks, development environments, APIs, staging systems, multiple websites and workloads that need root-level flexibility.

Why Unmanaged VPS?
Control, Flexibility and Lower Management Overhead
Unmanaged VPS separates infrastructure from software administration. You get the virtual server and allocated resources while retaining responsibility for the software environment.
Full Root Access
Install compatible software, configure services, manage packages and customize the server environment through SSH.
Operating System Choice
Deploy from supported Linux distributions such as AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux and Ubuntu, subject to current platform availability.
SSD Storage
SSD-backed storage provides responsive disk access for websites, applications, development environments and databases.
Defined VPS Resources
Select a plan with the CPU, memory, storage and bandwidth allocation suited to your workload.
Custom Software Stack
Build your own web, database, application or container stack instead of using a predefined hosting environment.
Cost-Efficient for Skilled Teams
If your team can administer servers internally, unmanaged VPS avoids paying for bundled day-to-day management services.
Know the Difference
What You Manage vs. What Systron Provides
Unmanaged hosting gives you more control, but it also means your team is responsible for the software layer. This distinction should be clear before ordering.

| Operating system & packages | Install, configure, update and secure | Provide supported VPS platform / reinstall assistance where available |
| Applications & web stack | Install, configure and troubleshoot | Not part of standard unmanaged administration |
| Firewall & server security | Configure and maintain | Infrastructure/network-side protections as applicable |
| Virtual server infrastructure | Use and configure the guest environment | Maintain the underlying hosting platform and network |
| Optional technical assistance | Request when needed | Paid support plans may be available for additional help |

FAQs
Unmanaged SSD VPS Questions
What does “Unmanaged VPS” mean?
Do I get full root access?
Yes. Unmanaged Linux VPS plans are intended to provide administrative control so you can install compatible software, configure services and manage the server environment directly.
Which operating systems can I use?
Supported Linux distributions may include AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu and others. Exact images can change, so confirm current operating-system availability before ordering if you need a specific version.
Can I install cPanel, Plesk or another control panel?
Root access allows you to install a compatible control panel, subject to its own licensing requirements and the operating system and resource requirements of that software.
What support is included?
Standard unmanaged service focuses on the VPS infrastructure and network rather than application administration. Additional assistance may be available through Systron Support Plans.
Should I choose Managed or Unmanaged VPS?
Choose Unmanaged VPS if your team wants root-level control and can administer the server. Choose Managed NVMe VPS if you want server-management assistance. You can compare both on the VPS Hosting hub.
