Questions about our Cloud VPS? Our FAQs provide answers to the most common queries. You can also contact our expert support team any time.
A standard VPS provides an isolated server with a fixed contract, and it's managed through an individual panel. A cloud VPS takes things further – it lets you manage multiple virtual machines in one unified Cloud Panel.
Rather than a standalone setup, a cloud VPS acts as a complete toolkit. You can connect your servers with private networking, manage traffic using load balancing and keep your vital data separate with block and S3 object storage.
You'll also get total flexibility over your costs. A cloud VPS uses billing-by-the-minute with no contracts, meaning you only ever pay for what you've reserved. Plus, you get developer freedom to automate deployments via our full API or clone your setup instantly.
With our Cloud VPS, you'll get true flexibility. There are no upfront costs or long contracts. Instead, you're billed by the minute, meaning you only ever pay for the exact resources you've reserved. It's the perfect setup for short projects or temporary traffic spikes.
You won't get any nasty surprises either. If you choose to run your server constantly, your monthly cost is strictly capped at the maximum advertised price – meaning you won't be charged extra for exceeding your expected bandwidth. Plus, we provide detailed monthly invoices, so it's simple to track every penny and manage your budgets with precision.
The Cloud Panel is your central hub for managing your entire Cloud VPS setup. Instead of dealing with isolated servers, you'll get one unified Control Panel to oversee everything.
It's the place where you can deploy new VMs in seconds, set up private networks, configure load balancers and track your exact billing usage. Ultimately, it gives you control over your virtual infrastructure – making it so easy to scale your projects on demand without any fuss.
Yes, you can cancel whenever you need to. Because you're billed by the minute, you're always in complete control of your setup.
If you no longer need your Cloud VPS, just delete the virtual machine from your Control Panel. Once it's gone, your billing stops instantly. It's really that simple.
It really depends on what you're building, but we've got options ranging from simple setups to powerful machines.
If you're looking for a safe space for testing and development, our 2 vCore option with 2GB RAM is an excellent starting point. It's a brilliant way to clone your setup and test new code or OS upgrades before pushing anything live.
For growing businesses focused on high availability, stepping up to our 4 vCore models gives you the extra power required. You can run multiple VMs behind a load balancer to keep your site online during busy periods. We even have RAM optimised models with up to 64GB RAM for more intensive tasks.
Got a heavy workload for a short period? Our massive 16 vCore model with 64GB RAM and 960GB NVMe SSD storage delivers serious performance. It's ideal for agile scaling – spin up a temporary high spec VM, run your task and delete it when you're finished. Because you're billed by the minute, you'll only pay for the time it was active.
Yes. The Cloud Panel includes built-in DNS management, so you can handle all your domain's records – A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and more – in one place. Point domains at your Cloud VPS, set up mail routing and verify services without needing a separate DNS provider.
Virtualisation is the smart tech that makes a Cloud VPS possible. It uses software to split one powerful physical server into several independent virtual machines.
This means you get your own dedicated slice of server power. Your environment acts exactly like a standalone server, giving you complete control and security. However, you won't pay the high costs of renting dedicated physical hardware.
Because it's virtual, your infrastructure is so flexible. You can easily clone your environment or spin up new VMs in seconds. It gives you the ultimate freedom to scale exactly when your project demands it.
Yes, you get complete root access. This means you have full control over your server environment – you can install any software, tweak configurations and customise your setup exactly how you want.
If you ever run into networking or firewall issues, the built-in KVM console gives you direct keyboard-and-screen access through the Cloud Panel, so you can always get back in. It's the ultimate freedom for developers building complex projects.
You have plenty of choices, with popular distributions including AlmaLinux, Debian, Rocky Linux and Ubuntu (Linux), plus Windows Server 2022/2025. You can deploy popular Linux distributions like Ubuntu straight from your Control Panel.
Our Cloud VPS is an unmanaged service. We take care of the physical hardware, network stability and data centres. This means you don't have to worry about infrastructure uptime. You get complete freedom to manage your software and security.
To keep an eye on things, your Control Panel includes a Central Monitoring Centre. You can also set up custom alarms to track your performance.
Keeping your data safe is a breeze. You can choose Acronis Cyber Protect as an optional add on, which will handle all your backups securely in the background. For flexible file storage and archiving, our S3 object storage is available too. It's a highly secure way to manage large data volumes. You can also back up and restore entire images.
You get to choose exactly where your data lives. We've got highly secure global data centres located across the UK, Europe and the US. This means you can host your virtual machines closer to your client base. It keeps latency to an absolute minimum while meeting your data requirements.
Load balancing automatically shares your website traffic across multiple virtual machines. You'll need it if you want to keep your site online during huge traffic spikes. It also guarantees high availability, meaning your business stays online even if a server fails.
VM cloning creates an exact replica of your current server. It copies all your software, settings and data without fuss. It's ideal for safely testing new code or setting up multiple servers for load balancing.
Adding a new VM gives you a completely blank server. If you already have a standard VPS, you can easily add these extra machines. Because they use our flexible billing model, you get immediate access to rapid scaling. It's the perfect way to expand while managing your costs.
These are two very different types of expandable storage. Block storage works like an external hard drive attached directly to your virtual machine. It's incredibly fast and great for expanding your disk space or handling active data.
S3 object storage is built for archiving and backups. It's a highly affordable way to store huge amounts of static files safely. It also works brilliantly for offsite disaster recovery. Both of these are separate services that are billed based on your usage.
We offer fully transparent pricing – you won't find any hidden egress fees or surprise bandwidth charges. We also keep things simple, so you won't get trapped in a complex ecosystem or tied to a specific vendor.
We also champion UK data sovereignty, keeping your data safe in local data centres, with friendly UK support around the clock.
Yes. Plesk is available as an optional, paid add-on to your Cloud VPS package. It offers a great way to easily manage your server under one roof.
A Cloud VPS is very versatile. It's great for projects that need high availability and instant scaling. Developers use it to test code safely by cloning virtual machines in seconds.
Growing digital agencies use it to manage multiple client staging environments centrally. It's also ideal for running heavy AI workloads or self hosted automation tools.
Online stores rely on load balancing to handle huge traffic spikes smoothly. You can even combine block storage and private networking for secure disaster recovery. Whatever you're building, it gives you the ultimate freedom to scale.
It really depends on what you need. A standard VPS is brilliant for hosting a single site. You'll get an isolated server for a fixed monthly price.
A Cloud VPS is much more flexible. It's a complete toolkit for growing projects. You can manage multiple virtual machines from one unified Cloud Panel. It lets you easily add load balancing, private networks and block storage.
Plus, you're billed by the minute. You'll only pay for the exact resources you've reserved. If you need instant scaling and full control, a Cloud VPS is definitely the better choice.
