Description
R595.00 / month | 2 CPU cores, 4GB RAM, 80GB SSD, 3TB bandwidth, full root access
Includes a free domain for the first year — registered on your behalf
The VPS Pro plan doubles the RAM of the Business plan and quadruples the storage of the Starter — giving you a server configuration that handles memory-intensive applications, large databases, and busy multi-site environments without compromise.
With 8GB RAM, 200GB SSD, and 3TB monthly bandwidth, this is the plan for agencies running active client portfolios, businesses deploying SaaS or custom web applications, and developers who need a production-grade environment they can rely on. Hosted in South Africa, managed through ISPConfig, and supported locally by our Garden Route team.

Who This Plan Is For
The VPS Pro plan is the right fit if you are:
- An agency managing a growing portfolio of client websites that need reliable, fast hosting
- A business running SaaS platforms, custom web applications, or API-driven services
- Hosting multiple WooCommerce or Magento stores with active transaction volumes
- A developer or team running separate production, staging, and development environments on one server
- An operation with a high-volume mail server requiring dedicated resources and strong deliverability
- Any South African business that needs serious server capacity without the cost of a dedicated machine
Features in Detail
4GB RAM
8GB of DDR4 memory is the defining upgrade of the Pro plan over the Business plan. Memory-intensive workloads — large MySQL or MariaDB databases, Redis or Memcached caching layers, PHP-FPM worker pools, and Node.js or Python applications — all benefit substantially from the additional RAM. For agencies hosting multiple active client sites, or businesses running applications with real concurrent user loads, 8GB provides the headroom that 4GB cannot.
80GB SSD Storage
Two hundred gigabytes of SSD storage accommodates large media libraries, growing email archives, multiple database-backed applications, and development file storage without immediate capacity concerns. This is the storage tier where most agencies and mid-sized businesses operate comfortably for two to three years of organic growth.
2 Dedicated CPU Cores
Four dedicated cores handle concurrent processing demands efficiently — multiple simultaneous web requests, background queue workers, scheduled tasks, and database queries running in parallel without competing for resources. This is the same core count as the Business plan, with the RAM and storage upgrades doing the primary work at this tier.
3TB Monthly Bandwidth
Three terabytes of monthly data transfer supports high-traffic sites, media-heavy platforms, and multiple active projects without bandwidth constraints. Combined with the storage and memory specifications, the VPS Pro is built for environments where traffic and data growth are both expected.
Full Root Access and ISPConfig
Complete SSH root access gives you unrestricted control over every layer of the server. ISPConfig provides the management interface for day-to-day administration — websites, email accounts, databases, DNS zones, and FTP — without requiring command-line interaction for routine tasks. Both are available from the moment your server is provisioned.
Dedicated IPv4 Address
A dedicated IP is included as standard. For mail servers, a clean dedicated IP that has not been previously blacklisted is critical for email deliverability. For eCommerce and applications handling sensitive data, a dedicated IP supports SSL and secure transaction processing correctly.
Security Stack
The VPS Pro supports the full security configuration available across our VPS range: UFW firewall, Fail2Ban for intrusion prevention, ClamAV for malware detection, and Let’s Encrypt or custom SSL certificates for all domains. We can assist with the full hardening process as part of the optional setup service.
Free Domain — First Year
Every VPS Pro plan includes one free domain registration for the first year, sourced through AbsoluteHosting on your behalf. Specify your preferred domain in the order notes at checkout. Renewal is billed at standard rates from year two.
How VPS Pro Compares Across the Range
| Specification | Starter VPS | VPS Business | VPS Pro |
| CPU Cores | 1 cores | 2 cores | 2 cores |
| RAM | 1GB | 2GB | 4GB |
| Storage | 20GB SSD | 50GB SSD | 80GB SSD |
| Bandwidth | 1TB | 2TB | 3TB |
| Monthly Price | R229 | R412 | R595 |
The VPS Pro is the right choice when the Business plan’s 4GB RAM is becoming a constraint. If you are not yet hitting memory limits, the Business plan at R412/month may be more cost-effective. If you need more than 200GB storage or higher bandwidth, contact us about our higher-tier VPS options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this plan managed or self-managed?
Self-managed. You are responsible for server administration. We offer optional hourly support for setup, configuration, and ongoing maintenance. Contact us if you need a fully managed arrangement — we can discuss a managed VPS package.
Is 8GB RAM enough for a busy WooCommerce store?
Yes, for most WooCommerce deployments. A well-optimised store with object caching (Redis or Memcached), PHP-FPM, and a properly configured database runs comfortably within 8GB for moderate to high traffic volumes. We can advise on stack configuration during setup.
Can I run multiple separate client environments on one server?
Yes. ISPConfig supports multiple isolated website and email environments from a single control panel. Agencies typically use this to manage client sites, each with their own databases, FTP accounts, and email domains.
Can I upgrade from the VPS Business plan to VPS Pro?
Yes. We handle the migration with minimal downtime. Contact us to schedule it — your data, configuration, and sites transfer intact.
What if I need more than 200GB storage?
Contact us to discuss storage expansion or a higher-tier VPS configuration. We do not want you to purchase more than you need, so reach out and we will recommend the right option for your actual requirements.
Ready for a Production-Grade Server?
Add to cart and your VPS will be provisioned within 24 hours. Include your preferred domain name in the order notes. If you are migrating from another host or need setup assistance, contact us first — we will plan the onboarding with you.
