Start with the question
When does a client need its own VPS boundary rather than a shared portfolio?
Buying a VPS is a decision about the project boundary and operating work, not only the monthly number.
Check these criteria
- Blast radius of an update or incident
- Administrator and recovery ownership
- Exit, reporting and renewal responsibilities
Use only the plans, countries, options and payment routes shown in the current service facts. The checkout does not create a managed service or a confirmed order.
Filled decision example
An agency compares a shared portfolio boundary with a client that needs its own administrator and exit record. The decision includes the cost owner, recovery owner and what happens during a contractor change.
Verification: Verify the chosen structure has an access inventory and a client-approved incident/recovery boundary.
When this choice fits
A separate VPS can simplify boundaries, but it still requires an operating plan.
Record the approval before using a VPS configuration.
