What you get
How Managed VPS hosting in Vancouver for enterprise sites & custom apps actually works
Concrete deliverables — no vague SaaS jargon. Each engagement is sized to your business and reviewed monthly.
SSH for you, root for us
Metro Vancouver IT retains root and KVM access so server-level changes, security, and troubleshooting stay under accountable managed control. You still get SSH access and the tools to work with AI on your application, plus NodeWorx for day-to-day website administration.
Security first
SSH hardening, firewall baseline, fail2ban, log shipping, and patch discipline from day one.
Monitoring
CPU, memory, disk, service health, and synthetic checks with alerting that reaches a human.
NodeWorx instead of WHM and cPanel
NodeWorx is a strong WHM and cPanel replacement for websites and applications. It is included on every managed VPS, and the license is in the price — no separate WHM or cPanel bill.
Backups & recovery
Hosting keeps 14 days of full backups, with no storage-size limit. When you need a restore or a copy, we can provide it — tested recovery, not "hopefully it works."

Your stack
Common building blocks we support
We tune the VPS around the components your website or application already depends on — databases, runtimes, queues, and edge delivery.
Web servers
Nginx or Apache tuned for PHP, Node, or reverse-proxy patterns that match your deployment.
Databases
MySQL / MariaDB / PostgreSQL sizing, backups, and performance hygiene aligned to your app.
Queues & workers
Background jobs, Laravel queues, cron, and long-running workers monitored like first-class services.
Software your app needs
We can install Redis, Varnish, or any other software your application needs — caches, runtimes, search, queues, and the rest of the stack. Tell us what the app requires and we set it up on the VPS.
CDN & TLS
Cloudflare (or your CDN) for caching, TLS, and sensible edge rules without turning your stack into guesswork.
APIs & webhooks
Outbound integrations and inbound webhooks where your product needs reliable server-side endpoints.
Email delivery
SMTP / transactional mail patterns that keep notifications out of spam and off your app servers when possible.

Frequently asked questions
What does “managed VPS” mean?
We operate the server like a production platform: hardening, monitoring, backups, patching discipline, and clear communication. You focus on your application; we keep the host healthy and accountable.
Do I get root access?
Root and KVM stay with Metro Vancouver IT because this is a fully managed service. You still get SSH access and the tools to work with AI on your application, plus a NodeWorx reseller panel to create and manage SiteWorx accounts. Need a server-level change? Ask us.
Is NodeWorx included, or do I pay for WHM or cPanel?
NodeWorx is included on every managed VPS — the license is in the price. It is a strong WHM and cPanel replacement for websites, apps, domains, email, and day-to-day hosting work, so you are not buying a separate WHM or cPanel license.
How do software updates work?
We apply OS and core service updates on a regular cadence and validate them against your stack where practical. If a change is risky, we schedule it and communicate impact before touching production.
Are backups included?
Yes. Hosting keeps 14 days of full backups on every managed VPS plan, with no storage-size limit. When you need a restore or a copy, we can provide it — open a ticket or get in touch. For mission-critical workloads you should still keep your own off-server backups as well.
Can you install Redis, Varnish, or other software?
Yes. We can install Redis, Varnish, or any other software your application needs — not only caching. Tell us what the app requires and we add it as part of managed setup.
Is this only for bots or automation?
No — this page is about managed VPS hosting for real production sites and applications (including enterprise websites, Laravel/PHP apps, Node services, and similar Linux workloads).
Which VPS plan should I choose?
Starter or Growth is enough for many single-app workloads. Business+ is a better default when you run multiple services, heavier traffic, or larger databases.
Can you host WordPress or Magento here too?
Yes — if it runs on Linux and fits the security model, we can manage it. Many clients pair VPS workloads with our broader hosting and care offerings.
Do you help with security?
Yes — SSH hardening, firewall baselines, fail2ban, patch discipline, and monitoring are part of every deployment.
Can I order this outside Vancouver?
Yes — we deliver remotely across Canada and the U.S., including BC, Calgary, Washington, and Oregon.
