Our managed Linux VPS hosting plans combine robust performance with hands-off convenience ensuring you get the very best out of your VPS – all expertly supported by our UK-based support team.

Do you prefer to manage your own Virtual Private Server? Explore our Unmanaged Linux VPS hosting plans.



Fully Managed Setup & Configuration

We’ll install your preferred Linux distribution, that includes kernel-level configuration, software stack installation, and user permissions, so your server is production-ready from day one.

Automatic Updates & Patch Management

Your Linux server is kept up to date with the latest kernel patches, package updates, and critical security fixes, all handled automatically by our system administrators. We schedule updates during off-peak hours to avoid disruption.

Advanced Security Configuration

We apply best-practice server hardening to protect your Linux VPS. That includes a robust firewall configuration, SSH access restrictions and key authentication. This is backed up by TLS/SSL security enforcement.

Expert Support When You Need It

Our support team is available 7 days a week to assist with performance, troubleshooting, or software support. Whether you're configuring Apache, tuning MySQL, or managing Cron jobs, we’re here to help.

Daily Backups Included

Every managed Linux VPS includes automated daily backups of your entire server. You can restore your full system or select files/databases on demand.

Configure Your Server with cPanel

Prefer command-line control? You’ve got it. Need a GUI? Choose cPanel for simplified hosting management. We’ll install and configure your chosen control panel for you and provide support when needed.
