Cloud servers are protected by our in line mitigation platform so attacks are filtered before they ever reach your instance.
Log in over SSH or use the browser console in the control panel. You get complete control of your cloud server operating system.
Run the stack that suits you best. Install your choice of Linux distribution or Windows Server depending on your application needs.
Order completed, server deployed. Automated provisioning brings your new cloud server online in under a minute.
Take snapshots before big changes and roll back quickly if needed. Higher plans include scheduled backups for added protection.
See CPU, RAM, disk and network graphs directly in the cloud control panel so you can spot trends before they become issues.
Link multiple cloud servers together over private internal networks for microservices, database tiers and secure back end traffic.
Every cloud server includes its own dedicated IPv4 address plus IPv6. Extra IPs are available with valid justification.
Our team works with cloud servers all day. When you need help you get real answers, not scripted responses.
One flexible cloud server can replace piles of shared hosting accounts, legacy VMs and random boxes under desks.
Host modern frameworks and classic stacks on a single cloud server. Ideal for Laravel, Node, Django, WordPress and agency multi site setups.
Run MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL or Redis on a dedicated cloud server so your data is isolated from noisy neighbours.
Give your shop the dedicated cloud resources it deserves so checkout stays fast during promotions and seasonal peaks.
Use a cloud server as the control plane for game panels, match making, mod repositories or lightweight dedicated servers.
Host Discord bots, automation scripts, public APIs and microservices on cloud servers with consistent performance.
Deploy your own WireGuard or OpenVPN endpoint on a cloud server. Keep traffic under your control with UK IP addresses.
Your cloud servers run on the same grade of kit we use for demanding game and VPS workloads. No bargain basement nodes.
Cloud servers are powered by modern Intel Xeon CPUs with high base clocks and strong single core performance, ideal for web, game and application workloads.
All cloud nodes use fast DDR4 memory so your applications benefit from higher bandwidth and improved responsiveness under load.
Your cloud server disk space lives on enterprise NVMe drives, giving you the throughput and IOPS needed for serious databases and busy sites.
Cloud nodes connect to our switching fabric at 10 Gbps with redundant uplinks. We peer with major networks and use high quality transit for consistent low latency.

Talk to a cloud engineerUnderstand what a cloud server is, how it works and when it makes business sense to move from traditional hosting.
A cloud server is a virtual machine that runs inside a cloud computing environment. Instead of buying a physical server, installing it in a rack and managing it yourself, you rent a slice of compute power, memory and storage that lives in a provider's data centre.
Modern cloud platforms use a hypervisor to carve powerful physical machines into multiple isolated cloud servers. Each cloud server gets its own operating system, resources and storage. From your point of view it behaves like a dedicated server, but behind the scenes our platform manages the hardware, power, cooling and physical disks.
Because many cloud servers share a pool of hardware, we can run higher grade kit than most businesses would ever buy for themselves and still keep pricing under control. You get the benefits of that infrastructure without the capital expenditure or maintenance burden.
Once deployed you connect to your cloud server over the internet. On Linux this is normally via SSH and SFTP. On Windows this is via Remote Desktop. You can also access an emergency console in the control panel to fix firewall mistakes or misconfigured network settings.
# Example SSH connection from your local machine
ssh root@your-cloud-server-ip
From there you treat the cloud server like any other machine you own: install packages, configure services, deploy code and configure monitoring. The difference is that you can destroy and rebuild it quickly, resize it when you grow and roll back to snapshots if needed.
There is a lot of confusion between cloud servers, VPS hosting and traditional dedicated servers. The hardware and virtualisation technology are often similar. The real differences are around flexibility, reliability, cost model and how you use the platform.
Shared hosting places hundreds of customers on a single machine with fixed resource limits and very little control. It works for basic sites but quickly becomes a bottleneck as traffic or complexity grows. A cloud server gives you dedicated resources, full root access and the ability to run whatever stack you need, not just what a shared panel allows.
A classic VPS is a virtual private server on a single host. You get more control than shared hosting but scaling often means manual migration, and features like snapshots or private networks may not be included. A cloud server is positioned as part of a wider cloud platform, with better tooling, easier scaling between plans and integrations such as private networking, backup options and API access.
A dedicated server is still the right call when you need consistent access to an entire physical machine, for example heavy databases or custom storage setups. A cloud server is a better fit for most online services and internal tools because it is quicker to deploy, easier to rebuild and does not require you to think about hardware failures, power supplies or drive swaps.
For many organisations the question is not whether to use cloud servers, but when. The trigger is usually one of three things: performance problems, reliability issues, or wasted time managing hardware.
On shared platforms you are stuck with whatever limits are baked into the plan. On a cloud server you choose the number of vCPUs, RAM amount and storage that match your current workload, then increase them without rebuilding when usage grows. This gives you predictable performance without jumping straight to expensive enterprise hardware.
Running your own physical server means dealing with local power cuts, single switches, failing disks and office networking quirks. A cloud server lives in a data centre built to keep machines online. Redundant power feeds, professional cooling, protected network paths and round the clock monitoring are standard, not extras.
Cloud servers remove the time sink of physical maintenance. You do not rack machines, replace parts or negotiate with multiple vendors. Instead you focus on configuring the operating system and applications that actually produce value for your business or clients.
Picking cloud server specifications is part science, part educated guess. Start by looking at what you run now, then adjust for growth and improvements in hardware.
Memory is usually the first real limit you hit. Databases, application caches and Java based services all benefit from having plenty of RAM. For most standard stacks:
On storage, leave headroom rather than running drives to 95 percent full. Growth in logs, backups and user uploads is often underestimated.
A cloud server is exposed to the internet which means it will be scanned and probed within minutes of going online. Basic hardening dramatically reduces your risk.
# Example: basic UFW firewall on Ubuntu
apt update && apt install ufw -y
ufw default deny incoming
ufw default allow outgoing
ufw allow 22/tcp # SSH
ufw allow 80,443/tcp # Web traffic
ufw enable
Combine this with regular backups and monitoring and your cloud server will be in much better shape than most unmanaged machines on the internet.
One criticism of large public clouds is unpredictable billing. Per second or per request pricing can be powerful, but it also makes monthly cost planning harder, especially when traffic spikes or a misconfiguration slips through.
Our cloud server plans use a fixed monthly price for a defined set of resources. That keeps budgeting simple. You know exactly what each environment costs and you can line that up against the revenue or value it produces.
Scaling a single cloud server works up to a point. As complexity grows you may want to split the database, application layer and background workers onto separate machines. This brings clearer fault lines, simpler performance tuning and easier scaling paths per component.
We can help you decide whether to grow a single cloud server or move towards a small fleet. The right answer depends on your team, your application and your appetite for complexity.
Move your sites, apps and services onto a cloud server that balances performance, simplicity and price. Deploy today, scale when you need to and get access to an engineering team that actually understands your workloads.
