You could get extra IPs as a paid addon on getting IPv6 IPs with all their hosting plans.

They also offer Container VPSes, as an alternative to their Linux VPS plans, and Time4VPS windows plans. The windows license is free with all their plans.

Time4VPS Speedtest Results

At Time4VPS, customers are encouraged to test their servers themselves. They offer a free seven day trail, so they can test it out for free. As usual, they don’t set up or configure anything. They only update the system and run the benchmarking script. The scripts were reviewed accordingly.

As with all the reviews, we did a couple of basic speed tests too. A WordPress site was installed with caching enabled using EasyEngine. Nothing besides these were configured or added.

We received great results with both, the trial VPS and 2 GB RAM. The other managed WordPress hosting providers were even compared providing satisfactory results.

The Tiime4VPS Dashboard

The Time4VPS is nothing fancy or unique. It is what you would expect from a standard VPS provider. You would probably most of your time in the CLI, outside of the dashboard/ control panel.

The web console is quite easy to access. You can reinstall your server whenever you want with just a couple of clicks. You can monitor your server using their usage graphs and usage history. You could even add your SSH keys, upgrade the server, open up a support ticket, handle your billings and a lot more. Everything that you would need is one click away.

The Time4VPS Community and Support

The Time4VPS Community and Support is definitely one of the top strong points of Time4VPS. Considering the fact that they offer self managed services, their support is exceptional. We asked them a question via chat, and had received the answer to the question in a matter of minutes. We even opened a ticket and got a proper answer all within five minutes or less. This kind of support is very rare these days, and you don’t get it from fully managed services. It is good that their support is always available and friendly.

It also comes with company forums where people ask questions and get answers pretty quickly.
