At any point of time, any VPS is characterized by a status (or state). There are four stable statuses and a number of transitional statuses that a VPS may have. If the VPS is in one of the stable states, it means that it is likely to continue in this state until its administrator performs a task that would change its status. If the VPS is in one of the transitional states, it means that it is currently passing from one stable state to another. During a transition stage, no operation can be performed on the VPS until the transition is finished.
The stable statuses are:
| Status | Description | Possible Actions |
| Down | The VPS is stopped and its private area is unmounted. | Starting/repairing/reinstalling |
| Mounted | The VPS private area is initialized and ready to work, but the VPS is not running. | Starting |
| Running | The VPS private area is mounted and the VPS is running. | Stopping/rebooting/repairing |
| Repairing | The VPS is mounted in the repair mode. | Exiting the repair mode. |
