Why London
Why host a VPS in London?
London is one of the largest internet hubs in Europe, with a major exchange, LINX, and dense connections to North America. A server in the city keeps UK traffic local and reaches both Europe and the USA on short routes.
Since Brexit the UK has its own data protection regime, built on the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Hosting in the UK helps when contracts or regulated sectors ask for UK data residency.
See how this fits with the rest of our VPS hosting, and compare the other locations we run.
Who it reaches
From London you serve England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and reach Ireland, France, the Netherlands and Germany on short routes. Transatlantic routes to the east coast of North America are well established as well.
Data and privacy
UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. The UK applies its own version of GDPR together with the Data Protection Act 2018, overseen by the ICO. A UK server keeps data in the country, but you still need lawful processing.

Questions
UK VPS FAQ
Does a UK VPS give me UK data residency?
The data you store sits on a server in London, so it stays in the UK. Backups and third-party services have their own locations, so check those as well.
Is a London VPS good for customers in Europe?
Yes for Western Europe, where routes from London are short. For Central and Eastern Europe, Frankfurt or Warsaw may be closer.
How much does a VPS in UK cost?
A VPS in UK starts at $14.99 per month for 1 core and 2 GB of RAM and goes up to $319.99 per month for 16 cores and 64 GB. Every location uses the same plans and prices, and the price stays the same on renewal.
Which operating systems can I use on the UK VPS?
Linux (Ubuntu, Debian and AlmaLinux) and Windows Server. Pick one when you order, and reinstall a different one later from the control panel.
Are backups included with a VPS in London?
No. Snapshots and backups are not included, so copy important data off the server on a schedule and test a restore. You have full root or administrator access to set up the tool you prefer.
