Included on every plan
- Free daily automated backups. Restored from your control panel, no ticket required.
- Manual snapshots. Take one before a risky upgrade and roll back if it goes wrong.
- Full root access. KVM virtualisation gives you a real kernel, so containers and custom modules work.
- Reboot, reinstall and console. Rebuild the server or get in through the console when SSH locks you out.
- Firewall management from the panel.
- No setup fee and no minimum term.
Operating systems
Install any of these in a few minutes, or reinstall later whenever you want a clean start.
- Ubuntu

VPS questions
Is the VPS managed?
No, these are unmanaged servers: you get root access and you choose what runs on them. Our support team knows Linux well and will help where we reasonably can, but server administration is yours.
Where exactly are the servers?
Seattle, Washington, in the Wowrack data centre, on 1 Gbps uplinks. Run your own ping, MTR, traceroute or iPerf3 test against the node on our looking glass before you order.
How do backups work?
Every plan gets a free automated backup daily, and you can take manual snapshots at any time. Both are restored from your control panel without opening a ticket.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Contact support and we will move you to a larger plan. Because plans are billed monthly with no minimum term, you are not locked into the size you start with.
Do I get IPv6?
Three IPv6 addresses are included with every plan alongside your IPv4 address, at no extra cost.
Can you move my existing site to the VPS?
If your site is currently on cPanel hosting, yes, and it is free. Tell us the details and we will confirm what is involved before starting.
