Our Services

We provide truly affordable virtual private servers using Linux KVM. We are able to offer our VPSs at such great value by focussing on what we feel is important.

  • Self owned hardware built to a carefully chosen specification.
  • Unmanaged services to reduce unnecesary monthly overhead.
  • No SLA, just an honest history of service levels month by month.

Guaranteed Memory

We do not over-subscribe our memory, we ensure there is enough physical RAM to cover the guaranteed memory for every running unit.

Disk Space

We measure disk space in true SI gigabytes, as is standard practice with hard drive equipment. So with a 15GB allocation, you get 15,000,000,000 bytes.

Stay Connected

When trying to create a successful site the last thing you want to worry about is being too successful. Similarly offsite backups are useless if you are too constrained by your traffic limit to actually use them. This is why we operate a traffic policy designed to keep you connected, and with no additional data fees.

The traffic limit that comes as part of each plan is the total amount of data per month that can be sent or received using all the available bandwidth. Should this limit be reached the connection will be automatically throttled to 128kbit/s for the rest of the month. This way you never lose connectivity, and you never get an unexpected bill.

IP Addresses

By default, we give out one IP address per server since this is adequate for most purposes and IPv4 addresses are a scarce resource. However, you can order more.

If you find later on that you need to use more IP addresses than originally planned they can be added to your existing VPS.

Please note that as a provider we have a responsibility to conserve IPv4 space. If you are requesting more than one IP address per VPS, you must supply a reasonable justification for doing so.
