# Virtual Private Servers and Nodes-as-a-Service Providers

If you prefer not to run your Full Core node on your personal machine, you have two options: Virtual Private Servers (“**VPS**”) or Nodes-as-a-Service (“**NaaS**”).

The key difference is:

* With a VPS, you are responsible for setting up, deploying, and managing your node.
* With a NaaS, the entire process is managed for you. You simply “delegate” your Full Core node license NFT to a NaaS provider and automatically earn rewards without needing to operate the infrastructure yourself.

Recommended VPS Providers:

* AWS
* Google Cloud

Make sure to select a package that meets the minimum hardware requirements. The server’s physical location does not affect your eligibility for KYC or rewards.
