VPS Hosting Overview
A PlaySafe VPS (virtual private server) is your own virtual machine with dedicated vCPU, RAM and NVMe storage, a public IPv4 address and DDoS protection included in every plan. You get full administrator access to the operating system, so you can run game servers, bots, websites or anything else.

In the panel sidebar, open Hosting > Virtual Servers:
- All servers opens the list of every VPS you own, plus the ones other users shared with you.
- Each server is listed by name under it, with a coloured dot for its state.
- Deploy new opens the order wizard.
