UK Virtual Servers - Linux & Windows VPS, Ready in Minutes
High availability Linux and Windows virtual servers in our ISO 27001 Sheffield data centre,deployed in minutes from £8.50/month.
Is a Virtual Server right for you?
You’re running a business app or website that’s outgrown shared hosting
WordPress on shared hosting falling over under traffic? Line-of-business app that needs its own OS and dedicated resources? A Pro VPS gives you full root or Administrator access, dedicated RAM and CPU, and Ceph-backed fast storage — without the cost or hassle of buying a server.
You need a UK-hosted Windows server for compliance or licensing
Some software — SQL Server, line-of-business CRM, accounting platforms — needs Windows. Hosting it in our Sheffield data centre keeps your data UK-resident for GDPR, and our Windows VPS spec includes Windows Server licensing. No need to bring your own.
You want a dev, test or build server that isn’t your laptop
Spin up a VPS in minutes, run your CI builds or staging environment, then resize or delete when you’re done. Monthly contract, no long-term commitment, console access from day one.

Virtual Server FAQs
Common questions about our UK Linux and Windows virtual servers in our Sheffield data centre.
How much is a UK virtual server?
Our Pro Linux VPS starts at £8.50 a month and our Pro Windows VPS at £16.00 a month, both hosted in our ISO 27001 Sheffield data centre. Prices include up to 64GB RAM, up to 16 vCPU, fast Ceph-backed storage, bandwidth at 1Gbit/s and high-availability features. Windows costs more because the price includes Windows Server licensing, which scales with vCPU count. Monthly contract, 30-day money-back guarantee, no setup fees.
What's the difference between a virtual server and a dedicated server?
A dedicated server is a physical machine you rent, all of its hardware is yours. A virtual server (VPS) carves a slice of resources, RAM, CPU, storage, from a physical host running a hypervisor. Same operating-system-level control, much faster to deploy, cheaper to run, easier to resize, and easier to recover via snapshot or backup.
Where are your virtual servers hosted?
In our own ISO 27001 Sheffield data centre, monitored by our UK engineering team. The site has N+1 cooling, A/B power feeds from separate UPS units, backup generators that come online automatically, hot and cold aisle containment and two-factor access control. Internet connectivity runs over fibre to London Telehouse North and Lumen in Manchester, with BGP peering across multiple Tier 1 carriers. UK-resident data for GDPR.
Do I need a separate Windows licence with a Pro Windows VPS?
No. Our Pro Windows VPS includes Windows Server licensing in the monthly price. The licensing component scales with the number of vCPUs you configure, which is why Windows costs more than Linux at the same hardware spec. You don't need to bring your own licence and you don't need a separate Microsoft agreement.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my VPS later?
Yes. Resize RAM, vCPU, storage and IPs from your client control panel. Most changes take effect in minutes with a quick VPS reboot. You can also move between Linux and Windows by reinstalling the OS, though the Windows licensing means a different price tier. No long-term commitment, change as your workload changes.
How quickly can I get a new VPS online?
Typically within minutes of ordering. You'll get console access through our client portal as soon as the VPS is provisioned, ready to install from our ISO library or upload your own. No build queue, no engineer call-out, no waiting for hardware. Monthly contract from day one with a 30-day money-back guarantee if it isn't right for you.
What does the Pro VPS run on under the hood?
HP hardware, Proxmox virtualisation and KVM for virtual machines. Storage is fast Ceph over 10Gbit Ethernet LAGG, with high-availability hardware failover so your VPS migrates automatically if a physical node fails. No shared tenancy with consumer hosting. Full OS control, install from our ISO library or upload your own.
How much bandwidth and data transfer is included?
Every Pro VPS connects at 1Gbit/s and includes 5TB of data transfer per month, on both Linux and Windows plans. If you exceed 5TB in a month, additional transfer is charged at £0.01 per GB.
| Storage | Price per TB / month |
|---|---|
| SSD, as part of your VM Flexible, billed with the VM (£3.00 per 50GB) | £60.00 |
| Veeam backup storage add-on (HDD) £25 monthly, £22 on 12 months, £20 on 36 months | from £20.00 |
