One server, or the whole farm? We've got it covered

Managed VPS gives a server our full attention. Fully Managed Solutions covers your whole estate, servers and everything on them. Here's how to tell which one fits.

Managed VPS or fully managed solutions?

  • Managed VPS

    Managed VPS looks after a single server: the operating system, web server, database, email and FTP, monitored around the clock and patched by our team. Your applications stay your responsibility, and cPanel is required.

  • Fully managed solutions

    Fully managed solutions looks after everything. Your full application stack, on our cloud, your public cloud or both, managed by a named team of UK-based engineers. One solution. One invoice. One support team.

Tell us what you're cultivating

Whatever your stack and wherever it lives, we'll tell you exactly how we'd manage it and what it would cost. No jargon and no procurement runaround.
Just a straight answer.
