VPS hosting, with root and resources that are yours

When to move up from shared hosting

Move when you have outgrown it, not before. The signals are consistent: the site slows down at your busiest hour, you have hit a limit on processes or database connections, you need software that shared hosting will not install, or you need to keep data on a server whose configuration you can account for. Until one of those is true, a VPS is money spent on capacity you are not using.

What you get

• Guaranteed CPU and RAM — not shared until somebody else needs them.
• Root access and your choice of Linux distribution.
• Your own IP address, which matters if you send mail from the server.
• Room to grow on the same machine, instead of a migration every time you add load.

Managed, if you want it

An unmanaged VPS is a bare server, and it is genuinely yours to look after — updates, firewall, backups and the three in the morning when something stops. We can run all of that for you instead: patching, monitoring, backups tested by restoring them, and someone to call. Say which you want when you enquire.

Sized and quoted properly

There is no price list on this page on purpose. A VPS is sized to a workload, and quoting one without knowing what runs on it produces a number that is either wasteful or too small. Tell us what the server has to carry — the sites, the traffic, the applications, the database — and we will come back with a specification and a price for it.
