Speed
High-performance virtual private servers on AMD EPYC
Every VPS is a virtual machine on a physical server running AMD EPYC processors and all-NVMe SSD storage, so this is SSD VPS hosting of the quicker kind: NVMe reaches the CPU over PCIe rather than the SATA bus. Your cores, RAM and disk are dedicated resources, never shared, so busy websites and applications stay fast under load and stay online at 99.9% uptime. Servers sit in three Tier 3 UK data centres, which keeps latency low for UK visitors.

Built for real workloads
A VPS range for serious workloads
Guaranteed resources and full root access mean you run whatever you like on your VPS server. Outgrow your plan and you move up a size, so scalability never means a migration.
Busy WordPress & WooCommerce
Sites that have outgrown shared web hosting, on resources that hold up at peak.
Laravel, Node & PHP web applications
Deploy your stack on your own web server with full root, Composer, Git and the runtimes you need.
Databases & APIs
Dedicated CPU and NVMe for databases, queues and API back ends that stay quick under load.
Staging & dev boxes
Spin up a staging or build server and rebuild it in a click when you are done.
Self-hosted tools
Run the software you would rather own: analytics, mail, Git, your own panel.
Client sites at scale
Host all your client sites on guaranteed resources, and resell them under your brand. See VPS reseller hosting.
Storage VPS for backups, media and big databases
The larger plans are as much about disk as cores. VPS 4 gives 160 GB of NVMe, VPS 5 200 GB and VPS 6 300 GB, all on the same guaranteed cores and RAM. That suits a self-hosted backup target, a media library that outgrew shared hosting, or a database that needs fast disk more than it needs compute.
Because the storage is NVMe rather than a slower bulk tier, a storage VPS here reads and writes at the same speed as the small plans. If you need more than 300 GB, ask us and we will size one.
Cheap UK VPS hosting, without the catches
A managed UK VPS starts at £24.99 a month for a dedicated core, 2 GB of RAM and 20 GB of NVMe, with the patching, monitoring and backups done by our UK team. The price is the price: no setup fee, no bandwidth cap, no renewal jump in month two.
Cheaper VPS offers usually mean shared cores, a bandwidth allowance or a server nobody is looking after. If one of those suits you, an unmanaged box elsewhere will be cheaper. If you want the server run for you, this is the low end of that.
What's included
Unlimited bandwidth, NVMe and full root access on every server
Guaranteed power, full root access and the same UK support on every VPS hosting plan. Whichever size you pick, you get the same foundation.
Guaranteed vCPU & RAM
Your cores and memory are reserved, never shared. No noisy neighbours, no throttling at peak.
All-NVMe SSD storage
Every VPS SSD is NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express), for fast reads and writes under load.
Full root & SSH
Root access to your server and SSH from day one. Configure and manage whatever you like.
Your choice of operating system
Linux or Windows: Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky and more, provisioned ready to go. Reinstall any time.
Backups, specified with the server
Not included by default on a VPS: what fits depends on the build, so we size and price it with you when the server is specified.
DDoS protection
100Gbps of always-on mitigation upstream of every VPS, at no extra cost. More on that below.
Resize as you grow
Start on the size that fits and move up the VPS range when you need to. No migration, no re-platforming.
Proactive monitoring
On managed plans we monitor your server around the clock and step in when it needs it.
Real UK support
UK engineers you can actually reach, with a fast reply. No premium tier for a quick answer.
DDoS protection
100Gbps of DDoS protection, always on.
Filtering runs upstream of our network, 24 hours a day, on every plan. There is nothing to switch on and nothing to add to your bill. We are alerted the moment an attack starts.
- 100Gbps of mitigation capacity, upstream of our servers
- Always on, so there is no window while it spins up
- Covers our whole IP ranges, so every server is included
- On every plan and every product, at no extra cost

See how our network is built →One panel, full control
Manage your server from one control panel
Power it, rebuild it, reinstall the operating system, manage SSH keys and watch live resource graphs, all from one VPS control panel. Prefer the command line? Full root and SSH are yours too, so you can manage your VPS however you like.
Power controls
Boot, shut down, restart, power off or rebuild in a click.
Live resource graphs
CPU, network and disk in real time, memory and bandwidth at a glance.
OS reinstall & SSH keys
Reinstall or switch OS and manage SSH keys yourself, no ticket needed.
Backups & restore points
Where a backup service is agreed for your server, take and restore from the panel, kept off the box.
Your choice of OS
Windows VPS or Linux VPS, your choice of operating system
Pick your Linux distro, or Windows Server with a licence, and we provision it ready to go in minutes. Reinstall or switch operating system any time from the panel. A Windows VPS runs on the same plans and the same NVMe and AMD EPYC hardware as Linux, with the Windows Server licence added on top, so cheap Windows VPS hosting in the UK with guaranteed cores and RAM is the same order form with a different image.

Green hosting
Greener VPS hosting.
Our servers run on energy-efficient AMD EPYC hardware, powered by green energy. Through our Greenspark partnership we fund tree planting, clean water projects and carbon projects.
We think web hosting can make a difference, and we're doing our part.
Tree planting
Funded through our Greenspark partnership, with planting projects in Kenya.
Clean water projects
The same partnership funds clean water projects alongside the planting.
Carbon projects
And carbon projects, for the emissions we cannot design out of the platform.
Green energy
The racks run on renewable power.
AMD EPYC hardware
More performance per watt than the kit it replaced.
Efficiency first
We cut the power the platform uses before we fund anything to balance it.
In partnership with Greenspark
Every server you host with us funds tree planting, clean water and carbon projects.
What managed means on a VPS
Every VPS provides the cores, RAM and NVMe allocation shown in the table, with root access. Managed hosting adds our setup, patching, security and monitoring, with backups agreed when the server is specified; agree any application-specific responsibilities with us before ordering. Root access is still yours, so you can run what you like on top.
Size for peak memory and CPU usage as well as disk space. Our network information explains connectivity, while bespoke infrastructure covers projects that need multiple servers. A single VPS is not automatically a failover setup.

FAQ
VPS hosting FAQs
Not sure which size you need? Ask us, a real UK person will talk it through.
0333 090 4540What does managed actually cover?
We handle the upkeep: the OS, updates, security hardening, backups and monitoring, with the hardware, network and uptime solid underneath. You still get full root, so the server is yours to run what you like on.
Do I get root access?
Yes. Full root and SSH from day one. We're in there keeping it patched too, but the server is yours.
Can I resize my VPS later?
Yes. Start on the size that fits today and move up when you outgrow it. We handle the resize, so there's no migration and no re-platforming.
Can you manage a VPS I already have elsewhere?
Often, yes. If you're running a server with another provider, we can take over the day-to-day: patching, backups, monitoring and support. Tell us what it runs and we'll say whether we can manage it as-is or whether moving it makes more sense.
What operating systems can I run?
Your choice of the main Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux, provisioned ready to go. Want a specific version, or Windows with a licence? Just say so.
How do backups and DDoS protection work?
Every VPS gets network-level DDoS protection as standard. Backups are automated and kept off the box, restorable on request, so a bad deploy or a wrong command isn't the end of the world. On managed VPS we watch both around the clock.
How fast can you set one up?
Once we've agreed the size and OS, your VPS is usually ready the same day. We'll give you a clear timeline up front.
Do your VPS plans use SSD or NVMe?
All of them use NVMe. NVMe is a type of SSD, so an NVMe VPS is an SSD VPS, just the quicker kind: it reaches the CPU over PCIe instead of the SATA bus a standard SSD uses. There is no SATA tier to avoid and no spinning-disk option, so every VPS gets the same storage whichever plan you take. Capacity runs from 20 GB on VPS 1 up to 300 GB on VPS 6.
Is bandwidth unlimited on a VPS?
Yes. Every VPS includes unlimited bandwidth and unlimited sites, with the cores, RAM and NVMe storage on your plan guaranteed to you rather than shared. Live graphs in the panel show CPU, network, memory and disk so you can see what the server is actually using.
What is a virtual private server?
A virtual private server (VPS) is a virtual machine carved out of a physical server, with its own operating system, its own dedicated resources and root access, so it behaves like a server of your own without the cost of renting the whole box. Ours run on AMD EPYC hardware with NVMe storage in UK data centres, with the cores, RAM and disk on your plan guaranteed to you rather than shared with other customers.
How much does UK VPS hosting cost?
Managed VPS hosting starts at £24.99/mo for VPS 1 (1 core, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe) and runs up to £129.99/mo for VPS 6 (12 cores, 24 GB RAM, 300 GB NVMe). Every plan includes a dedicated IP, unlimited sites and bandwidth, DDoS protection and free migration, and paying annually charges ten months and gives twelve. Need something between sizes or bigger? We will spec and price it with you.
