The benefits of Virtual Private Servers at Heart


More control

These virtual private servers can be tailored in dozens of ways. Choose the operating system that suits you best. Add a control panel if it fits in with the way you work. Then use root access to install applications, access and edit server files and manage server logons.

Dependability

Multiple factors converge to make these virtual servers as reliable as they can be. Our network is staunchly protected against threats like DDoS attacks and we take pride in closely monitoring it for any other elements that might impact performance. These plans also allow you to set up email alerts to be notified about issues like high resource usage in real-time. To further settle your mind, we offer a 99.9 per cent uptime guarantee as part of our Service Level Agreement to you.

Power

These VPS plans come with up to 8 CPUs, 16GB RAM and 300GB storage. That’s the strength you need to run resource intensive websites and applications that won’t falter when traffic spikes. The servers are also set up with NVMe SSDs, which are three times faster than standard SSDs.

Support

Our expert support team is here to help if you need advice on tasks like restarting or rebuilding your private server. You can send them a ticket any time and reach them on live chat from 9am to 4:30pm.

What our VPS hosting customers are saying on Trustpilot


"Reassuringly responsive"

Andrew Spanswick

Reassuringly responsive, all queries were handled very effectively and fast turn around too. I ordered a few new VPS, they were up and online and ready to go. Needed to migrate some old servers, support were on point. Found a tech issue and that was resolved very quickly. Everything felt secure, reliable and professional. All round solid and stable, and as I have been with Heart for years now I can say I never questioned anything, I always had great service and uptime with them.

"Couldn't be faulted"

Ian Cole

Heart changed my VPS service as part of their upgrading process. Initially they were provisioning me to a service that wasn't equivalent but once I informed them they quickly corrected this. From then on the support and advice from the Support Service couldn't be faulted. I'm not a professional IT specialist but Adrian responded to my requests in good time and helped sort out the difficulties that I was experiencing with clear and concise advice and behind the scenes wizardry/know how.

"Nothing too much trouble"

Roy Purlan

I have been with Heart Internet for many many years as a Reseller and decided, with them, that I need to upgrade my hosting package. I had a huge amount of help deciding what to upgrade to and eventually I chose the Fully Managed VPS which I am nearing the end of my migration... It seems that nothing is too much trouble. If you are just starting up or need an upgrade then I highly recommend Heart Internet to help you with it!

Frequently Asked Questions


  • What are VPS hosting benefits?

    Unlike with shared hosting, virtual private servers give you resources that are yours and yours alone. So, you don’t need to worry about a ‘neighbour’ on a server consuming more than their fair share of resources and impacting the performance of your own site. VPS hosting is also cheaper than dedicated server hosting, with which you buy an entire physical server.

  • Is there an outbound email limit?

    Yes. Our servers have an outbound email limit of 15,000 per day. We put this in place to prevent network abuse. If you need to send more than 15,000 emails a day, talk to our support team. Just so you know, we can’t guarantee that this limit can be increased and we reserve the right to amend it at our discretion.

  • How technical do you need to be to have VPS hosting?

    Running a VPS does require some technical knowledge - you'll need to handle setup, configuration, and maintenance yourself. If you're comfortable using command line tools and managing servers, you'll be right at home. For less experienced users, we also offer managed VPS options where we handle the technical side for you.

  • How long will it take to set up my virtual private server?

    Just a few minutes. In a small number of cases it can take 15 minutes or more to set up your VPS, but usually it’s much quicker.

  • What is VPS hosting used for?

    VPS hosting is ideal for use by web developers who need hosting for a large portfolio of clients, for those who run resource intensive or high traffic websites and apps, and those who need more flexibility when it comes to configuring a server.

  • Can I upgrade my VPS plan?

    Yes, it’s easy. You can upgrade in a matter of minutes.
