    Add your sites

    Upload your first site and add more virtual hosts whenever you need them. Free Basic Managed Support covers quick tasks after that.

What the free Apache setup covers

A standard Apache and PHP web server with your first site. Anything beyond it is optional and billed only for the time used.

Included free

  • Apache HTTP Server 2.4 with PHP-FPM and MariaDB
  • A virtual host for your first domain, with its own document root and log files
  • HTTPS for that domain with a free Let’s Encrypt certificate
  • mod_rewrite enabled, so your .htaccess rules work

Custom work, billed by time

From $8 per 15 minutes or $28 per hour, only for the time used. No contract.

  • Adding more sites and domains for you (or add them yourself)
  • Moving sites from shared hosting or another server
  • Separate PHP versions, users and permissions per site
  • Tuning Apache and PHP for high traffic

How Apache virtual hosting works

Apache’s name-based virtual hosts let one server and one IP address answer for many domains. Apache reads the host name each browser asks for and serves the matching site from its own folder, with its own logs and settings.

HTTPS works the same way. With Server Name Indication (SNI), every site on the VPS can have its own SSL certificate on the same IP address, and Let’s Encrypt certificates are free.

Running PHP through PHP-FPM keeps PHP processes separate from Apache and lets you give a busy site its own pool of workers.

What people host with Apache virtual hosts

Agency client sites

Each client’s site in its own folder, database and log files on one server.

PHP applications

Laravel, Symfony or custom PHP apps next to your marketing site.

Static sites

HTML landing pages and documentation served with very little memory.

Staging and development

A test subdomain for each project on the same VPS.

Moving off shared hosting

Several shared-hosting sites brought together on one server you control.

Older sites

Sites that rely on .htaccess rules and Apache modules.

Frequently asked questions

How many sites can I host on one VPS?

There is no fixed limit: it depends on traffic, applications and databases. Several small sites fit on VPS Lite; for business sites with databases, VPS Standard or Pro gives more room.

Can each site have its own SSL certificate?

Yes. Apache uses SNI, so every domain can have its own certificate on the same IP address. Let’s Encrypt certificates are free.

Do .htaccess files work?

Yes. We enable mod_rewrite and allow .htaccess overrides, so existing rewrite rules keep working.

Can I use Nginx instead?

Yes. You have full root access, so you can run Nginx, or Nginx in front of Apache. Say so in your setup ticket and we install the web server you prefer.

Is the Apache setup really free?

Yes. Once your VPS is active, open a Technical Support ticket from the client area and our engineers do a basic Apache setup with standard settings at no extra cost. Custom work, such as moving sites or tuning Apache for high traffic, is billed from $8 per 15 minutes or $28 per hour.

How fast is the VPS ready?

Deployment is automated: our control panel creates the VPS in about a minute once the order is approved, and some new orders are checked by our team first. The login details arrive by email and the VPS appears in your client area.

Where are the servers?

These KVM VPS plans run in our USA data centre. Each VPS has one IPv4 address and unmetered bandwidth.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. A VPS is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee on your first purchase of that service at Ucartz. The full conditions are in section 8 of our Terms and Conditions.

Do I get root access?

Yes. You get full root access over SSH, plus the Virtualizor panel in your client area for reboots, the VNC console and OS reinstalls.

Is support included with a self-managed Apache virtual hosting VPS?

Yes. Free Basic Managed Support is included with every Apache virtual hosting VPS: complimentary, best-effort help with quick tasks of about 5 minutes, such as access and console checks, OS reinstalls, DNS pointing and first-level troubleshooting.

What if I need help beyond basic support?

Hire an engineer on demand, from $8 per 15 minutes or $28 per hour, or choose a monthly plan. There is no contract, so you can switch the extra support off whenever you like.

Can you install n8n, Docker or an AI model on my Apache virtual hosting VPS?

Yes. We install and configure n8n, Docker, Portainer, private LLMs such as Ollama, and most open-source software, then hand the setup over to you.
