UK VPS
Virtual machines on hardware in the United Kingdom - install Docker, run Node or Laravel queues, host Redis, or build a staging twin of production. Pick a footprint with the selector below; bespoke sizes are available on request.
Prices indicative, include VAT at the UK rate unless stated otherwise.
In plain English
A VPS (virtual private server) is a virtual machine carved from a powerful physical host. You get root (or administrator) access, your own kernel-level isolation from other tenants on the same box, and freedom to install packages, Docker, and services - without paying for an entire dedicated server.
Performance is predictable within your vCPU and RAM allocation: bursts use your slice, not a shared PHP pool like typical shared hosting. When you outgrow VPS capacity - or need every disk spindle and core exclusively - bare metal is the next step.
Install what you need
Provision common Linux distributions or bring a custom ISO where we support it. Layer Docker, web servers, and databases yourself - or we can discuss managed options. Availability varies by platform; we confirm at order.

VPS sits between shared cPanel and bare metal: you get isolation and sudo, without leasing a full server. Strong fits:
Multi-container apps, private registries, and reproducible staging - no neighbour PHP version conflicts.
Express, Nest, or Socket workloads with systemd or PM2 under your control.
Horizon, Redis, and workers without shared-hosting process limits.
TLS termination, caching, and routing to internal services or Kubernetes nodes.
Session stores, rate limiting, and pub/sub beside your app on the same VM.
JSONB, extensions, and tuning when MySQL on shared hosting is not enough.
