FASTVPS (fastvps.hosting)

FASTVPS is a hosting provider that has been operating since 2006. They serve VPS and VDS plans in their self-operated data center, the Mayflower, which is located in Estonia. For other locations, dedicated servers are in Germany and Finland, while virtual servers are also available in the United States. FASTVPS provides a 99% monthly availability guarantee for its VPS host nodes.

Their service portfolio includes managed virtual servers (VPS/VDS), fully managed VPS/VDS, physical dedicated servers, backup storage, SSL certificates, domain name registration, and the FASTCARE monitoring service. Virtual servers are offered on KVM and Hyper-V virtualization technologies, with SSD and NVMe storage options. Dedicated servers support both Linux and Windows operating systems, and are configured with RAID-based storage by default. In the event of a hardware component failure on a dedicated server, FASTVPS states that it replaces the component at no additional cost.

The fully managed VPS tier provides an expanded support scope compared to the standard managed option. While plans include 24/7 technical support covering server administration and software issues, fully managed plans add proactive server monitoring, automated daily backups with on-demand snapshots, and assistance with tasks such as SSL installation, DNS configuration, and site migration. The support provides a breakdown of services included with each management level, from basic server administration on managed plans to more advanced configuration tasks on fully managed plans.

FASTVPS offers a full version of FASTPANEL, its own server control panel, free of charge to customers. FASTPANEL provides core hosting management functions including site and file management, backup scheduling, and traffic analysis, along with built-in web SSH access and Let's Encrypt SSL integration. It can be installed on servers running Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux. An alternative control panel option, ISPmanager, is also available for certain VPS plans.

The Mayflower data center in Estonia features redundant power systems, backup generators, and precision cooling with free-cooling capability. The facility includes physical security measures such as CCTV and controlled access, and data center systems are monitored around the clock.
