Resources to match your project
Compare memory, processor cores and SSD storage in the VPS builder. Choose a starting point around the application’s requirements.
Choose your backup cover
Snapshot backups are an optional extra in the VPS order. Review the available schedule and cost, and plan how you would restore important data.
For people who like the controls
A little freedom. A clear responsibility.
An unmanaged VPS gives you flexibility for development environments, specialist software and custom hosting. It also puts updates, server security and application maintenance in your hands. If your team would rather have a managed hosting platform, take a look at our cloud server options.

Before you order
Three things to get straight.
Who will look after it?
Make sure someone owns server updates, monitoring and security.
What does the software need?
Check the required operating system, memory, storage and any licence costs.
How will you recover it?
Choose suitable backups and agree a recovery plan before the server goes into use.
Built around your requirements
The freedom to run your own environment.
A virtual private server gives you an environment to configure around your software. It suits projects with a technical owner who can look after the operating system, applications and recovery plan.
Choose the configuration in our live builder, where you can review current specifications and optional extras together.
Explore VPS configurationsOperating system and access
Check the operating systems and deployment options offered for your configuration. Root access gives your team control over the environment.
Memory, processor and SSD storage
Size the server for your application’s workload, including busy periods and enough free space for updates and data.
Licences and recovery
Include any control panel licences and optional snapshots in your comparison. Keep a recovery plan for the application itself too.
A little clarity
Is a VPS right for your business?
Good questions deserve straightforward answers. If yours is not here, let’s talk it through.
Is this a managed server?
The VPS options are unmanaged. Your team is responsible for the operating system, software and its security. Choose managed cloud hosting if you want a managed platform, or ask us about the support you need.
Can I add a control panel?
The live order page offers control panel choices. Availability, licence charges and compatibility depend on the configuration. Review these before placing your order.
Are backups included?
Snapshot backups are selected separately in the VPS builder. Do not assume they are included in the basic server price. Your own application-level backups may also be useful.
Where do I see the current price?
The VPS builder shows the current configurations and prices, including selected extras. It is the place to confirm your operating system, location, billing period and total.
