Define managed versus client-operated responsibilities

Start with the question

How can an agency tell a VPS allocation from managed website work?

Buying a VPS is a decision about the project boundary and operating work, not only the monthly number.

Check these criteria

1. Application updates and incident response
2. Access, DNS, backups and recovery testing
3. Client approval and agency maintenance scope

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

Before configuring, an agency lists which party updates the CMS, owns DNS, tests restoration and responds to a change. That record exposes whether a VPS allocation is sufficient for the requested scope.

Verification: Verify any managed work is stated in the client’s separate agreement rather than inferred from a VPS plan.

When this choice fits

PrivateHostLab offers a VPS catalog; managed work must be explicitly agreed outside the catalog.
