UK VPS Hosting

A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtual machine on a physical server with dedicated resources allocated to you. Unlike shared hosting, your CPU, RAM and storage allocation aren’t shared in the same way, and you typically get full root access to configure the server for your needs..

Shared hosting is designed for simplicity and value, with many websites sharing the same server environment. A VPS gives you dedicated resources and full control, making it a better fit for growing sites, custom applications, and workloads that need more performance or configuration flexibility..

Our VPS hosting gives you full root access, so you’re in control of the software stack and configuration. We maintain the underlying infrastructure and platform, while you manage your server configuration, updates and applications. If you’re unsure what you need, tell us your use case and we’ll point you in the right direction..

VPS hosting is great for hosting multiple websites, running WordPress at higher traffic levels, deploying APIs and web apps, staging environments, game servers, VPNs, Docker-based deployments, and other services that benefit from dedicated resources and root access..

Choose a plan that matches your CPU, RAM and storage needs, then deploy your preferred operating system. Once provisioned, you can connect via SSH or use the web-based console to complete setup and start installing your software stack..

A VPS gives you full control, which also means you’re responsible for configuring your server (security, updates and your software stack). If you’re comfortable with SSH and basic server administration, you’ll be fine — and if you’re not, shared hosting may be a better starting point..

If you misconfigure SSH or firewall rules, you can use the browser-based VNC console to regain access and fix the issue. This is a safety net for troubleshooting without relying on network access..

You can deploy a range of popular Linux distributions depending on what you’re building. If you need something specific, ask and we’ll confirm availability and the best deployment approach..

Yes. Each VPS includes dedicated IP addressing (IPv4 and IPv6). If you need additional IP addresses for specific applications, you can request more..

Yes. Our VPS plans support both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, giving you modern connectivity and flexibility for applications that require it..

Yes. You can reinstall your operating system and rebuild the server using the web console and management tools. This is useful if you want to change OS, start fresh, or recover from configuration issues..

A VPS gives you dedicated CPU, RAM and storage allocations, so performance is more consistent than shared hosting. Actual performance depends on your stack and optimisation (caching, database tuning, and application design)..

Yes. If your workload grows, you can move to a larger VPS plan to get more CPU, RAM or storage. If you reach the point where you need an even higher level of performance, a dedicated server is the natural next step..

In many cases you can scale up by moving to a larger plan. The exact process and downtime (if any) depends on the upgrade path and your configuration. If you tell us what you’re running, we can recommend the smoothest scaling approach..

A VPS is isolated from other customers, and you have full control over firewall rules, updates and access policies. Security depends on good server hygiene: keeping software updated, using SSH keys, limiting exposed services, and following least-privilege access..

We can provide backup options depending on your plan and requirements. If backups are critical, we recommend implementing an application-aware backup strategy (files + databases) and testing restores regularly so you can recover quickly if anything goes wrong..

Yes. A VPS is a strong choice for WordPress sites that have outgrown shared hosting, need better performance under load, or require custom server configuration. It’s also useful for hosting multiple WordPress sites on one server..

Yes. VPS hosting is commonly used for WooCommerce and other ecommerce platforms when you need consistent performance, dedicated resources, and greater control over caching, PHP tuning, and security hardening..

VDS is often used as a marketing term for a VPS that has stronger resource guarantees (for example, less contention or more dedicated allocations on the host). In practice, both are virtual servers. If you’re unsure what level you need, tell us what you’re running and we’ll point you to the right plan..

Choose a dedicated server when you need maximum performance, complete hardware control, very high and consistent I/O, or you’re running workloads that outgrow the resources available on a VPS..
