Domain India sells four KVM VPS plans, from 1 vCPU with 2 GB RAM up to 6 vCPU with 16 GB RAM. This page puts them side by side and gives a quick rule for choosing. Every plan is self-managed with full root access: you run the operating system, security updates and backups yourself.
Pick a VPS by RAM first: VPS Starter (2 GB) for a small site, API or test server, VPS Basic (4 GB) for a busy WordPress site or a server with a control panel, VPS Standard (8 GB) for several apps or Docker containers, and VPS Pro for heavy databases and many sites. If you don't want to manage a Linux server, shared hosting or the App Platform will suit you better.
This page is the quick comparison. For how to estimate RAM, CPU, disk and bandwidth for your own workload, read choosing the right VPS plan.
1. The plans side by side
Specifications and monthly prices from the Domain India catalogue, excluding 18% GST (pay yearly and save 10%):
| Plan | vCPU | RAM | NVMe storage | Monthly transfer | IPv4 | Price a month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VPS Starter | 1 | 2 GB | 64 GB | 2 TB | 1 | ₹800 |
| VPS Basic | 2 | 4 GB | 128 GB | 3 TB | 1 | ₹1,400 |
| VPS Standard | 4 | 8 GB | 256 GB | 5 TB | 1 | ₹2,600 |
| VPS Pro | 6 | 16 GB | 512 GB | 10 TB | 2 | ₹4,800 |
All plans run on KVM virtualization with NVMe storage and full root access. Check the VPS page for current prices and billing periods before you order.
2. Which plan fits your workload
Measure what your site or app uses today and choose the smallest plan that fits with 30 to 50% headroom. Memory usually runs out before CPU; when it does, Linux starts stopping processes, often the database first.
3. Operating system and control panel
Choose a current long-term-support Linux release that your software is documented for, from the six we offer: Ubuntu 24.04, Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Debian 13, AlmaLinux 9 and Rocky Linux 9. Avoid releases that have reached end of life, including CentOS Linux.
A VPS comes without a control panel. You can install one yourself, such as CyberPanel, Webuzo or DirectAdmin, with your own licence where one is needed. cPanel is not offered on Domain India VPS plans; for cPanel, use cPanel shared hosting. A panel uses RAM of its own, so allow for it when you choose a plan. The options are compared in choosing a control panel for your VPS.
4. What self-managed means
- You are comfortable with SSH, a firewall and package updates
- You need root access, Docker, background workers or your own database
- You want dedicated resources rather than a shared account
- You have never run a Linux server and have no one to call
- You mainly need a website and email managed for you
- You would rather deploy an app than look after a server
You are responsible for the operating system, security updates, firewall and backups. Keep copies of important data off the server. Your VPS page in the client area (VPS & Servers › your VPS) has Start, Restart, Shut down and Force stop buttons, a browser console, snapshots, a firewall, an OS reinstall and plan upgrades. See managing your VPS: start, stop and reboot. Older VPS without a VPS page in your client area: open a ticket with the VPS IP address and our team will do this for you.
5. Alternatives to a VPS
- Shared hosting (cPanel or DirectAdmin) for WordPress and PHP sites where we run the server, email and security.
- The App Platform for Node.js apps (detected automatically) or anything with a Dockerfile, without looking after a server.
The trade-offs are set out in VPS vs shared hosting.
