What is a managed VPS?
It is a virtual private server that we operate for you: updates, day-and-night monitoring, backups and server interventions. At Simafri, management is proactive: we also monitor your application and recommend, before you even notice, what will make it faster and more secure.
What is proactive monitoring for a managed VPS?
It is continuous monitoring of your server and of the proper functioning of your application. We bring you precise recommendations before you see the problem, and you apply them yourself or through your AI assistant. We also keep the server up to date, security patches included. Every intervention, alert and recommendation is recorded, with its date, in the log in your client area, and every month you receive a report of what we have done for you.
How much does a managed VPS cost?
From £15.99 per month excl. tax, for a Managed VPS Pro 1. The price combines the VPS and its full management, and it follows the size of the server: each size has its own rate, published in the pricing table on this page.
What is the difference between a managed VPS and an unmanaged VPS?
With an unmanaged VPS, you administer the server yourself. With a VPS Pro, Full-Stack Assistance tells you what to do whenever you ask. With a managed VPS, our engineers run the server for you and come to you on their own initiative as soon as they see something to improve in your application.
Do you work on my application's code?
We monitor your application and recommend precisely the fixes that will help: an index to add, a cache setting, a service to optimise. You apply them yourself or through your AI assistant, and you stay in control of your code. If you would rather our engineers work on your application themselves, they can, at an hourly rate or with a monthly package.
Can I host an application built with AI?
Yes. An application generated with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor or another assistant runs on a managed VPS like any other: we help you put it online, then we run the server and monitor the application for you.
Do I need to call you for an intervention to take place?
Our engineers act on their own initiative: monitoring alerts us day and night, and the intervention on the server follows without waiting for your call. Every intervention is recorded in the log in your client area, timestamped to the hour.
How does the migration work?
Our engineers migrate your current server, websites, databases and mailboxes included, and the migration is complimentary. We agree the switchover time with you.
What happens when the disk fills up?
We track disk space continuously: as soon as usage reaches 85%, we let you know and propose an extension, so your server always keeps its headroom.
