Mikyhost is proud to announce the launch of Snapshots for our VPS and Cloud Compute services — a powerful new feature that gives users more control, flexibility, and peace of mind when managing their cloud infrastructure.
What Are Snapshots?
Snapshots are point-in-time images of your virtual server’s entire state — including its disk, memory, and system configuration. This allows you to:
-
Back up your VPS or Cloud Compute instance before major changes.
-
Restore your system quickly in case of errors, crashes, or unwanted updates.
-
Clone server environments for testing, scaling, or deployment.
Whether you're running production workloads or testing applications, Snapshots provide a safety net and simplify system management.
Key Benefits
1. Disaster Recovery
In the event of accidental deletion, system corruption, or configuration issues, Snapshots allow you to roll back your VPS to a known good state with just a few clicks.
2. Fast Rollbacks
Planning to update software or install new packages? Take a snapshot beforehand. If something goes wrong, you can restore your server instantly.
3. One-Click Cloning
Need to replicate an existing environment for testing or staging? Snapshots make it easy to duplicate your setup without starting from scratch.
4. Improved DevOps Workflow
Snapshots help streamline DevOps pipelines by providing consistent backup points before deployments, system updates, or configuration changes.
How It Works
From your Mikyhost client dashboard:
-
Navigate to Cloud Compute or VPS Management.
-
Select your instance.
-
Click the "Snapshots" tab.
-
Click "Create Snapshot" to capture the current state.
-
To restore, simply select the snapshot and click "Revert".
Snapshots are stored securely and optimized for performance. You can manage multiple snapshots per instance, depending on your plan.
Pricing & Availability
The Snapshots feature is now available across all VPS and Cloud Compute plans. Basic plans come with limited snapshot slots, while higher-tier packages offer more frequent snapshots and longer retention times. Additional snapshot storage is available as an add-on.
Future Enhancements
We're already working on extending snapshot capabilities with:
Automated scheduled snapshots
Incremental snapshot storage for efficiency
Snapshot-to-image conversion for custom server templates
Stay tuned as we continue to enhance the Mikyhost cloud experience.
