VPS hosting FAQs
What is VPS hosting?
VPS hosting gives you a virtual private server with guaranteed CPU, memory and storage that is yours alone. You get full root access and the freedom to configure the server your way. What is the difference between managed and unmanaged VPS?
With an unmanaged VPS you handle the server administration yourself. With our fully managed add-on, our team looks after updates, security and monitoring for you. Do I get full root access?
Yes. You get full root access to install software and configure your VPS exactly how you need it. Do I get a control panel?
Yes. Manage files, databases, email and every aspect of your hosting from our clean, responsive control panel, with no per-website licence fees no matter how many sites you host. How quickly is my VPS ready?
Your VPS is up and running in about a minute, so you can jump in and start managing your hosting right away. Can I deploy my VPS with an application already installed?
Yes. When you create your VPS, you can choose a ready-to-go application instead of a plain operating system, such as WordPress, Magento, Drupal, Joomla, OpenCart, PrestaShop, Moodle or MediaWiki. Your server arrives with the software installed and ready to set up, which saves you time. You can also deploy a LAMP stack, or start from a plain Linux operating system and install anything yourself. Can I scale my VPS?
Yes. You can scale your virtual private server instantly as your needs grow, with no lengthy migration. How many IP addresses do I get?
Every VPS includes one dedicated IPv4 address and a /64 IPv6 subnet. You can add more IPv4 addresses whenever you need them. Can I set up a private network?
Yes. You can place your servers on a private VLAN inside the data centre, so they communicate securely and stay hidden from the public internet. Is the bandwidth really unmetered?
Yes. Every VPS comes with unmetered bandwidth, with no traffic caps and no throttling, so a busy month never means a surprise bill. Is email included?
Yes, unlimited cloud email is included and hosted separately, so it never eats into your VPS resources. Should I choose a VPS or managed cloud?
Choose a VPS if you want full control of the server. Choose managed cloud hosting if you would rather we handle the server admin for you. Where are your data centres?
Your data is stored in secure, ISO 27001 certified data centres in the UK and USA, with a free CDN for global reach. How can I pay?
We accept debit and credit cards for everyone. Business customers can also pay by Direct Debit or bank transfer. You can manage your billing from your control panel. Can I add telephone support or a dedicated account manager?
Yes. A dedicated account or support manager and telephone support can be added to any plan for an additional cost. Contact us to discuss your requirements and get a quote.
