+    <h2>What is a VPS?</h2>
+    <p>A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtualized server that functions as a dedicated server within a shared hosting environment. Unlike shared hosting, a VPS gives you complete control over your server environment, including your own operating system, storage, RAM, and processing power. This allows you to run virtually any software or service you need while maintaining privacy and independence from big tech platforms.</p>
+    
+    <h2>Our VPS Services</h2>
+    <p>I offer comprehensive VPS setup and configuration services tailored to your specific needs:</p>
+    
+    <div class="service-feature">
+      <h3>Provider Selection and Initial Setup</h3>
+      <p>I'll help you select the most appropriate VPS provider based on your privacy requirements, budget, and geographical preferences. I'll then handle the initial server provisioning, operating system installation, and basic security hardening to create a solid foundation for your digital services. Your server will be configured with secure SSH access, proper user management, and essential security measures from the start.</p>
+    </div>
+    
+    <div class="service-feature">
+      <h3>Privacy-Focused Service Implementation</h3>
+      <p>I'll install and configure the specific services you need on your VPS, such as self-hosted email, cloud storage, VPN endpoints, personal websites, messaging platforms, or other privacy-respecting alternatives to mainstream services. Each service will be optimized for security, performance, and ease of maintenance, with appropriate data segregation and backup strategies.</p>

+    
+    <div class="service-feature">
