We don't cut corners on hardware. Every VPS runs on the same enterprise-grade infrastructure used by our dedicated server clients.
We exclusively use AMD's flagship Ryzen 7950X CPUs with boost clocks up to 5.7 GHz. These aren't old Xeons or budget Ryzen 3000 series—these are the fastest consumer-grade processors available today.
All nodes use DDR4 memory modules. Higher bandwidth and lower latency mean faster data access for memory-intensive workloads like databases and caching.
Enterprise NVMe drives connected via PCIe 4.0 deliver sequential read speeds up to 7000 MB/s and random IOPS exceeding 1M. No SATA bottlenecks, no shared NAS—just pure SSD performance.
Every node connects to our core switches via redundant 10 Gbps uplinks. Tier 1 transit providers and direct peering with major networks ensure low latency and high throughput.

VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting provides dedicated computing resources within a virtualized environment. Unlike shared hosting where hundreds of sites compete for the same pool of resources, VPS hosting allocates guaranteed CPU cores, RAM, and storage to your account that no other customer can access.
A physical server (called the "host" or "node") runs a hypervisor—specialized software that creates multiple isolated virtual machines. Each VM functions as an independent server with its own operating system, dedicated resources, and root access. Common hypervisors include KVM, Xen, and VMware.
We use KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) for its performance characteristics and full hardware virtualization support. KVM allows each VPS to run its own kernel, giving you complete control over the operating system—including custom kernels if needed.
When you order a VPS, specific resources are reserved exclusively for your use:
Understanding the differences between hosting types helps you choose the right solution for your needs. Each has distinct advantages and ideal use cases.
How it works: Hundreds of websites share resources on a single server. CPU, RAM, and I/O bandwidth are pooled, with a control panel (typically cPanel) limiting what each account can do.
Advantages: Extremely cheap (£2-5/month typical), managed environment, user-friendly control panel, good for beginners with basic WordPress sites.
Disadvantages: Performance highly variable, no root access, resource limits enforced arbitrarily, security risks from other accounts.
Best for: Personal blogs, small business sites with low traffic, portfolio sites.
How it works: Virtualization creates isolated servers with dedicated resources on shared hardware. Each VPS has its own OS, root access, and guaranteed allocations.
Advantages: Dedicated resources, full root access, scalable, more affordable than dedicated servers, isolated environment.
Disadvantages: Requires basic sysadmin knowledge, you're responsible for security updates and maintenance, more expensive than shared hosting.
Best for: E-commerce sites, SaaS applications, development environments, game servers, production websites, agencies managing client sites.
How it works: You rent an entire physical server—no virtualization, no sharing. All CPU cores, RAM, and drives are exclusively yours.
Advantages: Maximum performance, complete hardware control, best for extremely demanding workloads, predictable performance.
Disadvantages: Expensive (£100-300+/month), less flexible, requires expert knowledge.
Best for: High-traffic sites (1M+ visitors/month), large databases, machine learning workloads.
VPS performance depends entirely on the underlying hardware. Understanding what separates premium hosting from budget providers helps you make informed decisions.
Most VPS workloads are single-threaded or lightly threaded—web servers, databases, game servers. These applications benefit more from high clock speeds than core count. A single core at 5.7 GHz (like AMD Ryzen 7950X) delivers far better performance than four cores at 2.4 GHz (typical budget hardware).
Our CPU specifications:
We exclusively use DDR5-4800 memory, not DDR4. Here's why it matters:
Storage is often the bottleneck in VPS performance. We use enterprise PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives with these characteristics:
Compare this to SATA SSDs (budget hosts): 550 MB/s read (13x slower), 100K IOPS (10x slower).
Every VPS node connects to our core network via redundant 10 Gbps uplinks. We peer directly with major networks at LINX and IXManchester, and use Tier 1 transit providers for everything else.
Selecting the right VPS tier requires understanding your application's resource requirements. Here's how to estimate what you need and when to upgrade.
2 vCPU Cores (Starter): WordPress sites (1,000-5,000 visitors/day), static sites with caching (10,000-50,000 visitors/day), small Discord bots, development/testing.
4 vCPU Cores (Professional): WordPress/Laravel sites (5,000-20,000 visitors/day), e-commerce (500-2,000 orders/day), API servers (100K-500K requests/day), Minecraft servers (20-50 players).
6 vCPU Cores (Business): High-traffic WordPress (20,000-100,000 visitors/day), e-commerce (2,000-10,000 orders/day), multiple WordPress sites, large game servers (50-100 players).
8 vCPU Cores (Enterprise): Very high-traffic sites (100K+ visitors/day), complex applications, multi-tenant SaaS, large databases, CI/CD build servers.
4 GB RAM: LAMP stack (100-200 concurrent connections), WordPress with basic caching, small MySQL databases (<1 GB data).
8 GB RAM: LAMP stack (300-500 concurrent), WordPress with Redis/Memcached, MySQL databases (1-5 GB), Docker containers (3-5 containers).
16 GB RAM: Multiple WordPress sites, e-commerce with large catalogs, MySQL/PostgreSQL (5-20 GB), Redis/Memcached with significant cache, Docker/Kubernetes (8-12 containers).
32 GB RAM: Large databases (20-100 GB), high-traffic e-commerce, Elasticsearch/Solr, multiple isolated environments, machine learning inference.
Monitor these metrics:
VPS security is your responsibility. Unlike shared hosting where the provider handles security, VPS gives you root access—and with that comes the obligation to secure your server.
1. Change the Root Password Immediately
passwd root
2. Create a Non-Root User with Sudo
adduser yourusername
usermod -aG sudo yourusername
3. Configure SSH Key Authentication
# On your local machine:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
# Copy public key to server:
ssh-copy-id yourusername@your_vps_ip
# Disable password authentication (edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config):
PasswordAuthentication no
PermitRootLogin no
# Restart SSH:
systemctl restart sshd
A properly configured firewall is your first line of defense. Use UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall):
# Install UFW:
apt install ufw
# Default policies:
ufw default deny incoming
ufw default allow outgoing
# Allow SSH:
ufw allow 22/tcp
# Allow HTTP/HTTPS:
ufw allow 80/tcp
ufw allow 443/tcp
# Enable firewall:
ufw enable
# Ubuntu/Debian:
apt install unattended-upgrades
dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low unattended-upgrades
# Install:
apt install fail2ban
# Create local config:
cp /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
# Start service:
systemctl enable --now fail2ban
Even well-configured VPS instances encounter issues. Here are the most common problems and their solutions.
Symptoms: Pages take 3+ seconds to load, database queries are slow, high CPU usage.
Diagnosis:
# Check CPU and memory usage:
top
# Check disk I/O:
iostat -x 1
# Check running processes:
ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -10
Solutions:
Diagnosis:
ping your_vps_ipsystemctl status sshd
# Check disk usage:
df -h
# Find large directories:
du -sh /* | sort -h
# Clear old logs:
journalctl --vacuum-time=7d
# Remove old kernels:
apt autoremove
# Check memory usage:
free -m
# Check OOM killer log:
dmesg | grep -i "killed process"
# Find memory-hungry processes:
ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -10
Solutions: Tune MySQL, reduce PHP-FPM children, add swap space (temporary), upgrade RAM if consistently swapping.
log on and monitor your server regularly. Most issues are easier to diagnose when you have historical data.
