Self-managed virtual servers
VPS Hosting
Run websites, applications, databases and private services on a virtual server you control. Choose Linux or Windows Server, select a location and increase the resources when the workload grows.
Manage Linux over SSH or Windows Server through Remote Desktop, with access to install and configure the software you need.
Each VPS receives its own IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for websites, applications and other public services.
Choose a plan and operating system, then the VPS is normally provisioned automatically after payment and any required checks.
Use power controls, remote console access and supported operating system rebuilds without waiting for routine work to be handled.
Increase CPU, memory, storage or transfer where the selected platform and location support it.

What can you run on a VPS?
A self-managed VPS is for software that needs its own operating system, public IP addresses or services that stay running. These are common examples, not a fixed list.
Websites and online shops
Host one or several websites, ecommerce stores and client projects when you need more control than shared hosting provides.
Web applications and APIs
Run custom applications, APIs, scheduled jobs and background workers with the runtime and web server you choose.
Databases and caches
Keep relational databases, key-value stores and application caches inside a server environment you manage.
Docker and containers
Deploy containerised applications with Docker, Compose, Podman or Portainer and control the complete stack yourself.
Bots and automation
Keep Discord bots, webhooks, monitoring agents and automation scripts running around the clock.
Development and testing
Build staging environments, test new releases and run development tools away from production systems.
Why choose a VPS
Full server control without dedicated hardware
A VPS gives you root or administrator access to an isolated server environment. Install Linux or Windows Server, configure the network and run software that will not fit inside a normal hosting account.
The physical host is shared, but the operating system, storage and resources assigned to your VPS are kept separate from other virtual machines. You get the control of a server without reserving the whole physical machine.
Start with the plan that fits the workload now, then move to a larger VPS as demand grows. If the project eventually needs dedicated hardware, there is a straightforward next step.
Access
Root or administrator
Install packages, services and management tools.
Operating system
Linux or Windows
Choose the platform supported by the software you plan to run.
Resources
Allocated to your VPS
CPU, memory and storage are assigned according to the plan.
Physical hardware
Not required
Use a virtual server until the workload needs a dedicated machine.
Operating systems and applications
Choose your VPS software
Start with a supported Linux distribution or Windows Server, then install the stack you want. The products below are examples, not a fixed catalogue. You can run other compatible software on a self-managed VPS.
A familiar choice for web servers, containers, Node.js, PHP and general Linux workloads.
A stable Linux base for services you plan to keep running for a long time.
A RHEL-compatible distribution for hosting panels, databases and business applications.
A RHEL-compatible option for traditional hosting and general server workloads.
Oracle Linux for software that uses its tools or needs RHEL compatibility.
A current Linux distribution for web services, containers and development work.
A declarative Linux distribution for repeatable server configurations.
Run Remote Desktop, Microsoft services and applications that require Windows Server 2022.
Use the current Windows Server release for compatible Microsoft workloads and applications.
Run containerised applications, APIs, workers and private services on the VPS.

Automated protection is available across the VPS platform for network-level attacks. Application security and server configuration remain under your control.
Platform maintained by us
We maintain the host hardware, virtualisation platform and network beneath the VPS. You keep control of the operating system and software inside it.
Flexible billing
Pay monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Choose the billing term that suits the server instead of being tied to one cycle.
VPS hosting questions
