Why no fixed server packages?
Every project is different. A busy WordPress site, private CRM, ecommerce platform, business application, development environment or custom web app may all need different resources and software. Rather than pushing you into a pre-made package, we build a solution around what the project actually needs.
Right-sized resources
No paying for power you do not need, and no struggling on a server that is too small for the job.
A custom solution
Your server options are shaped around what you need, rather than selected from a fixed list.
Room to grow
Your setup can be reviewed and adjusted as your project develops.

Modern platform
Latest Hardware
Our servers are based on the newest hardware generations. We exclusively use AMD CPUs for their great cost to performance ratio, efficiency and performance.
Right stack
Choice of Software
Many hosts tie you in to specific operating systems or control panels. We provide a full range of options, ensuring costs are reduced and the tools are right for the job.
Ideal for serious projects that need more than shared hosting
A fully managed cloud server is ideal when your project needs dedicated resources, more control, specialist software or a more carefully managed environment.
Business sites with higher traffic
For sites that need more power, stability and headroom than a standard shared hosting plan.
Resource hungry apps
For heavier PHP & MySQL based sites, online stores - or projects that need careful tuning.
Custom web applications
For Laravel, Node.js, PHP, Python or other custom app stacks that need a specifically configured environment.
Private business systems
For CRMs, private staff platforms, dashboards and other internal or customer-facing systems.
Development and staging
For teams that need controlled environments for testing, deployment and project work.
Specialist software stacks
For projects needing particular operating systems, services, databases, control panels or server-side tools.
What “fully managed” means
A fully managed server means you are not left to install, secure, monitor and maintain the environment yourself. We take responsibility for the server infrastructure and agreed software stack, while giving you friendly support and clear communication throughout.

Moving from another provider? We'll help make it painless.
Server migrations can be stressful, especially when websites, databases, email, applications or custom software are involved. We take the time to understand your current setup, plan the move carefully and aim to migrate with minimal disruption wherever possible.
Current setup review
We look at what you have before recommending a migration plan.
We plan the move
We identify software, data, DNS, email and timing considerations.
We migrate carefully
We handle the technical move and keep disruption as low as possible.
Pre-flight checks
We make sure the new environment is working as expected.
Migration availability, scope and timescales may depend on the size, condition and complexity of the existing service.
Managed Cloud Server FAQs
Clear answers about managed cloud servers, setup, migrations, pricing and scope.
Ask us about managed cloud serversCan I get root access to my server?
Generally speaking, no. This is a fully managed service. Having said that, the access provided depends on the project.
What's the setup time?
Initial setup can take from 24 to 72 hours, depending on complexity and our workload.
Why don't you show fixed prices?
Because every managed cloud server is tailored to the project. We quote based on the resources, software, licensing and management requirements needed, so you are not pushed into a package that is too small, too large or unnecessarily expensive.
Do you charge setup fees?
No. We do not charge setup fees. If you accept our quote, your first monthly payment is taken up front and we set everything up for you.
Can you migrate my existing server or website?
Yes. We will review your current setup and advise on the best migration approach. Where possible, we aim to migrate with minimal disruption, but the exact process depends on the complexity of the existing service.
What software can you install?
We can support a wide range of operating systems, control panels and server software. We will recommend the most suitable stack for your project and aim to use reliable open-source software where it makes sense.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Managed cloud servers are billed monthly and can be cancelled at any time, subject to the normal billing cycle.
Is this the same as VPS hosting?
Not exactly. A typical VPS gives you server resources and expects you to manage them. Our fully managed cloud servers are designed, configured, monitored and maintained for you.
Can you use open-source software to reduce costs?
Yes. Where reliable open-source software is suitable for the project, we will recommend it to help keep costs sensible.
What happens if my project grows?
We can review the server resources and software stack as your project develops and recommend changes when more power, storage or configuration changes are needed.
