Simafri VPS
Your own server, with root access and our team behind it
A virtual machine that is yours alone, with full root access and the Linux distribution you choose. Dedicated IP address, anti-DDoS protection, backups included and monitoring: Simafri holds the groundwork, and you keep your hands on the rest.
What you get
A machine of your own, ready to work
Full root access
You administer the machine and install whatever you want on it: your stack, your versions, your settings, on your own schedule.
The distribution you choose
Debian, Ubuntu, Rocky or AlmaLinux: the machine arrives with the one your team already works on.
Anti-DDoS protection
Network filtering stands in front of your machine at all times, so volume attacks stop before they reach it.
Dedicated IP address
An address that belongs to you alone, for your reputation, your certificates and your filtering rules.
Backups included
The whole machine backed up from the outside, with nothing to install on it, and restored by our team on your request.
Monitoring and alerting
Availability, load and disk space followed on our side: when something moves, we are the ones who tell you.
Who does what
You administer, we hold the groundwork
A server with root access is a server that truly belongs to you: everything on it is your call. What happens around it is held by two, and that part is what Simafri takes on.
You, on the machine
You choose the distribution, the stack, the versions and the settings. You install the services your project needs, and you decide when they move.
Us, around the machine
Backups, availability and the network. Our team steps onto the machine whenever you ask, and we flag the security updates worth your attention.

Who it is for
When a machine of your own becomes the right answer
Built to fit
A machine sized around what you need
Cores, memory and disk are decided with you, from what your application actually does. Tell us what you run today and what you would like to improve: we come back to you with a configuration and a proposal.
Two ways to have a server
Hands on, or results
Simafri VPS
For those who want to keep their hands on it. You administer the machine and install what you want; we hold backups, availability and the network.
Simafri Managed VPS
For those who want the result. Our team runs the machine end to end, updates and security patches included, with a control panel. See Simafri Managed VPS
A virtual server run alongside you
Simafri VPS is a virtual machine you hold the keys to: root access, the Linux distribution you choose, a dedicated IP address and anti-DDoS protection. Around it, the work that only shows on the day it is missing is held by our team: the whole-machine backup, the monitoring of availability, load and disk space, and an alert that starts on our side.
Delivered ready, if you would like
A bare machine usually costs an evening before it serves any purpose. We can hand it over with the database and the application environment already installed and configured, so your team picks up the thread where its work really begins. Tell us what your application expects, and we prepare the ground.
Would you rather not administer a server?
That is exactly what Simafri Managed VPS covers: the same machine, run by our team, updates, security patches and application monitoring included, with a control panel. And if what you need is software rather than a server, Pléiade builds it and runs it for you.
