Full control for Drupal

Drupal is a powerful, flexible CMS, and it rewards an environment tuned to it. On a VPS you get root access to install the exact PHP version, database and caching layer your site needs, with Composer and Drush ready for a modern Drupal workflow. You get dedicated NVMe resources and a protected network. Prefer not to manage the server yourself? Add our Fully-Managed VPS and our team will look after it.

Why run Drupal on our VPS

The control to build the Drupal stack you want, on performance hardware.

Full root access

Install the PHP version, extensions and system libraries Drupal needs, and configure the server your way.

PHP 8, Composer and Drush

A modern Drupal workflow with Composer for packages and Drush for site management over SSH.

Your caching stack

Add Redis, Memcached or Varnish to keep Drupal fast for anonymous and logged-in visitors alike.

Your choice of database

Run MariaDB, MySQL or PostgreSQL, tuned to your site and modules.

Store-grade security

Free SSL, terabit-scale DDoS protection and a dedicated IP keep your site secure.

Managed if you want it

Run it yourself, or add our Fully-Managed VPS and we will handle updates and security.

Your server, your Drupal stack

Root access means you build the environment Drupal runs in. Here is what you get to work with.

Root SSH accessFull control of your server from the command line.

Choose your OSPick from popular Linux distributions when you deploy.

PHP 8 with OPcacheModern PHP with opcode caching, tuned for Drupal.

Composer & DrushA modern workflow for packages and site management.

MySQL or PostgreSQLRun the database Drupal works best with for your site.

Redis, Memcached, VarnishAdd the caching layers that keep Drupal quick.

Git deploymentsPull and deploy your code straight from your repository.

Dedicated IPv4 + IPv6A dedicated IPv4 address and a /64 IPv6 subnet.

Configure it your way

Drupal sites vary enormously, from brochure sites to complex platforms. A VPS lets you build the exact stack your site needs, with the PHP settings, database and caching that suit it, rather than bending your site to fit a shared platform.

Room to grow

As your site and traffic grow, scale your server up in a click, with no migration and no downtime. Dedicated NVMe, CPU and memory give you predictable performance, and caching keeps pages fast even when logged-in users climb.

Made for Drupal sites

From ambitious content sites to complex platforms, a VPS gives Drupal the control it needs.

Enterprise and public sector

A controlled, secure environment for sites with strict requirements.

Publishers

Handle traffic peaks with caching, a CDN and dedicated resources.

Membership sites

Keep logged-in experiences fast with your own caching stack.

Multilingual sites

Run large, multi-language Drupal sites with room to spare.

Agencies and developers

Root access, Composer, Drush and Git for a modern workflow.

Migrating sites

Move an existing Drupal site across, or add Fully-Managed for help.
