A closer look at your next server.
A straightforward foundation for the things you want to build. Understand the resources, the environment and where your control begins.
THE SPINUP STACK / LAYER BY LAYER
From the hardware.
To your hello world.
A virtual server gives your project its own operating environment. You choose the software and the way it runs.
UNDERSTAND THE ALLOCATION
The resources behind your plan.
vCPU
Compute capacity for application requests, background work and the tasks your software performs. More cores help when your workload can use them.
Memory
Working space for your operating system, applications and caches. Leave headroom for peak use, and watch how much your services actually need.
NVMe storage
Space for application files, databases and logs. Plan for growth and temporary files as well as the data you have on day one.
Transfer
Your plan’s monthly traffic allowance. Count application traffic, downloads and backup transfers when estimating how much you need.
A CLEAR DIVISION OF RESPONSIBILITY
Your environment.
Your decisions.
Self-managed hosting is a practical fit when you want control and are comfortable looking after your software.
Your side
Operating system updates, user access, firewall rules, application configuration, software licences, data and independent backups.
Our side
Supplying the VPS resources and service arrangement you ordered, arranging access after provisioning and handling account and service enquiries.
Agree before you order
A specific operating system, CPU model, network port speed, IP allocation, managed backups, delivery deadline or service-level commitment.
