What is VPS hosting?
+
Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting is a type of web hosting that uses virtualization technology to provide each website with its own dedicated portion of server resources. It offers more control and flexibility than shared hosting while being more cost-effective than dedicated servers.
What's the difference between XEN and KVM?
+
Both XEN and KVM are virtualization technologies. XEN is a hypervisor that runs directly on the hardware, while KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a Linux kernel module. Both provide excellent performance and isolation for your applications.
Can I upgrade my VPS plan?
+
Yes, you can upgrade your VPS plan at any time to accommodate your growing needs. Our upgrade process is seamless with minimal downtime, ensuring your business continues to run smoothly.
What happens if I exceed my bandwidth allocation? Will my VPS be suspended?
+
No. Your VPS will remain online. Bandwidth will be throttled to 100 Mbps until the next billing cycle. You may also upgrade your bandwidth at £5 per additional 1 TB.
Could you please provide a test IP address so I can check latency and run a traceroute?
+
You will be able to test our network using the following details.
Test IP for ping: 51.38.73.244
Have you got any benchmark results for the VPS plans?
+
This benchmark is provided as a reference only. Actual performance may vary due to differences in workload, configuration, and operating conditions.

Is CPU included in the "no overselling" guarantee (like RAM and disk space)?
+
- Disk space: not oversold.
- RAM: not oversold.
- CPU: vCPU is allocated and controlled to provide predictable performance. CPU is the only shared resource on a VPS platform, but we actively limit contention and monitor utilisation to avoid "noisy neighbour" impact.
- We enforce resource policies and take action when workloads cause sustained contention.
Do you offer managed VPS services?
+
Yes, we offer both managed and unmanaged VPS hosting. Our managed services include server administration, security updates, backups, and performance monitoring, allowing you to focus on your business while we handle the technical aspects.
Can I order additional IP addresses for my VPS plan?
+
Yes, you can order another dedicated IP address at the price of £3.50 per month. A higher number of IPv4 addresses is subject to a minimum contract length. To request additional IPs, please reach out to our Billing/Sales team via support ticket or
[email protected] email address.
What operating systems do you support?
+
We support multiple operating systems including Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, and other. You can choose the OS that best fits your application requirements during the setup process.
