Why managed VPS hosting?

Running your own VPS sounds simple until server hardening, security patches, backups, monitoring, mail configuration and unexpected outages become your responsibility. Managed VPS hosting means we handle the infrastructure, so you can focus on your business.

Expert server management

We handle OS updates, security patching, firewall configuration and server hardening, keeping your VPS secure and up to date.

Proactive monitoring and support

We monitor performance, resource usage and security around the clock, stepping in before small issues become downtime.

Reliable, tested backups

Automated backups are properly configured and verified, giving you a dependable safety net when you need it.

Built-in security

Intrusion detection, regular patching and hardened configurations help reduce the risk of compromise, data loss and spam abuse.

More time for your business

Let us handle the infrastructure while you spend less time on server administration and more time on what matters.

UK-based support

Real people, based in the UK, who know your setup — not a ticket queue routed overseas. Support you can actually reach when it matters.

Managed VPS questions

Answers to help you choose, configure and move to the right managed VPS.

What is managed VPS hosting?

Every advertised VPS plan includes dedicated CPU, RAM and NVMe storage together with our managed configuration. Our team handles server setup, security hardening, software updates, monitoring and backup management.

Is a managed VPS right for my website or application?

A VPS is a good next step when your website, online store or application has outgrown shared hosting, needs dedicated resources, or requires a custom server configuration. Tell our team what you run, your current resource usage and any expected traffic growth, and we will advise whether you need a VPS or a simpler hosting plan.

Which managed VPS plan do I need?

The right plan depends on your applications, traffic, database load, storage use and plans for growth. Current CPU, RAM and disk-usage figures give us the best starting point. If you do not have them, tell us what you host and how many visitors or users you expect, and we can recommend a suitable plan or custom configuration.

Are the CPU, RAM and storage dedicated to my VPS?

Yes. The CPU cores, RAM and NVMe storage shown for your chosen plan are allocated to your virtual server. This resource isolation gives busy websites and applications more consistent performance than a typical shared-hosting account.

What server management is included?

Every advertised VPS plan includes the managed configuration. Our team provides server administration, security patching, software and control-panel updates, hardening, firewall configuration, monitoring, backups, priority support, migration and onboarding.

Do you offer unmanaged or self-managed VPS hosting?

No. To maintain our quality of service and ensure your server is properly configured, secured and supported, we only provide managed VPS hosting.

Is cPanel included?

cPanel is available as an optional installation with our managed VPS plans. The right cPanel licence depends on how many separate hosting accounts you need, so an agency hosting client websites may need a different licence from a business running one site.

Can I host multiple websites or client accounts?

Yes. You can host multiple websites when your VPS has enough resources. If you use cPanel and WHM, your selected cPanel licence sets the number of separate accounts you can create. Tell us how many sites or client accounts you plan to host so we can size the server and licence correctly.

What websites and applications can I run on a managed VPS?

A managed VPS can host high-traffic WordPress and WooCommerce sites, agency hosting accounts, business applications, databases and supported Node.js or Python applications. If you need a particular operating system, database, runtime or server package, check with us before ordering so we can confirm compatibility and management coverage.

Can you migrate my websites, email and databases?

Yes. We can assess and plan a migration from your current host, including eligible websites, email and databases. The safest route depends on your existing control panel, server access and application setup. We aim to minimise disruption and will confirm the migration scope, timing and any charges before work begins.

What backups are available for managed VPS hosting?

Managed VPS backup options include automated off-server backups and restore assistance. Backup frequency, retention and file-level restore access depend on the backup option selected for your server. You should also keep your own current copies of critical data because hosting backups do not replace an independent backup plan.

Can I upgrade my VPS resources later?

Yes. You can move to a larger resource level or ask us about additional disk space as your websites and applications grow. Contact us before you reach your current limits so we can review usage, recommend the right upgrade and plan any work needed.

Where is my VPS hosted and where is support based?

Our standard managed VPS plans are hosted in the UK and supported by our UK-based team. If data location, compliance or latency is important to your project, include those requirements when you enquire so we can confirm the proposed setup.

Can you provide a custom VPS?

Yes. We can discuss a custom managed VPS when the standard plans do not match your CPU, RAM, storage, software or account requirements. Send us details of your workload, current usage, preferred control panel and expected growth for a tailored recommendation.
