Need 4 GB or more? Look at our Enterprise range too: AMD EPYC with ECC memory and a 10 Gbps port, from £5 for 4 GB and 2 vCPU, in the same Norwich datacentre.
Real VPS, lower cost
Cheap, without the usual corners cut
Plenty of cheap VPS hosts save money with container "VPS", spinning disks or 100 Mbps ports. Our Budget range saves money with older silicon and smaller plans instead.
Real KVM virtualisation
Full hardware isolation and your own kernel, not OpenVZ or LXC. Run any distro, any kernel, any setup.
ECC server memory
Registered ECC DDR4 corrects memory errors in hardware, the same type of RAM enterprise servers use.
NVMe storage
Real NVMe in hardware RAID, not SATA SSDs or mechanical disks. Gen3 rather than our newest drives, but still quick.
DDoS protection
Always-on volumetric mitigation at the network edge, included free, exactly as on our other ranges.
Dedicated UK IPv4
Your own UK address, not a shared or NAT IP. Important for VPN endpoints, mail reputation and audit trails.
Full root access
No restricted shells or locked-down panels. Root from the first minute; install anything that fits in your RAM.
VirtFusion control panel
The same panel as every other range: power controls, VNC console, OS reinstall, ISO mounting and rDNS.
Instant setup
Card payments activate within minutes, with your IP, root login and console access sent by email.
Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6230
Server-grade hardware at a budget price
Where many budget hosts use low-clock Xeon Silver or old desktop parts, our Budget range runs on dual 2nd-generation Xeon Gold servers.
- 40 cores and 80 threads per host across two Cascade Lake CPUs, with up to 3.9 GHz turbo
- 55 MB of L3 cache and six memory channels per CPU
- ECC registered DDR4 on every plan
- NVMe in hardware RAID for low-latency storage
Honest trade-off: a 2019 Xeon is much slower per core than a 5.7 GHz Ryzen 9 9950X. It is fine for VPNs, bots and light sites. For game servers, MetaTrader or busy WordPress, choose Performance or Forex.
What people run on it
Perfect for always-on, lightweight jobs
If it runs all day but uses very little, the Budget range is the right home for it.
Personal VPN
WireGuard, OpenVPN or a Tailscale exit node on a UK IP. Fits comfortably on UK Xeon S. See our VPN VPS guide.
Discord & Telegram bots
Long-running but resource-light bots and IRC bouncers. Xeon S for one bot, Xeon M for a fleet.
Pi-hole & AdGuard
Network-wide ad blocking from a UK VPS; pair it with WireGuard for protected DNS on your phone.
Monitoring nodes
Uptime Kuma, Netdata, Prometheus exporters and SmokePing: constant traffic, tiny resources.
Learning Linux
Practise sysadmin, try new distros, learn Docker and nginx on a real server with root. See Linux VPS.
Staging & dev boxes
A cheap copy of production for testing updates before they go live.
Not the right fit for: busy production WordPress, MetaTrader and forex trading, heavy databases, game servers or anything where users judge response time. Use Performance, Forex or Enterprise instead.
Operating systems
Pick any OS from our template library, or bring your own
26+ Linux distributions, Windows 11 and Windows Server, plus ready-made application stacks. Can't find what you need? Upload up to 2 custom ISO images (8 GB each) and boot anything. Below 4 GB RAM, Linux is the practical choice: Windows uses most of the memory itself.

Our own free hosting control panel — a modern cPanel & WHM alternative, built in-house. No licence fees, ever.
WebDeck runs your whole server from a clean browser interface — websites, email, databases, DNS and SSL — so you never touch the command line unless you want to.
- 25+ one-click apps — WordPress, WooCommerce, Nextcloud, Ghost and more, installed in seconds.
- Switch web servers in one click — Apache, Nginx or OpenLiteSpeed, with automatic rollback.
- Every PHP version, side by side — pick per-site, swap any time.
- Free auto-renewing SSL, plus a full security suite — firewall, fail2ban and ClamAV from the UI.
- Resellers & master-resellers — build a whole hosting business, with WHMCS provisioning built in.
- Live cPanel migration — pull your accounts straight off your old server over SSH.
- Self-healing — the panel checks itself and fixes configuration drift automatically.
Included free with every VM6 UK VPS. Learn more at www.webdeckpanel.co.uk

Cheap UK VPS explained
What makes a VPS cheap, and when is cheap enough?
A £1.75 VPS is possible because of three honest trade-offs: older silicon (Intel Xeon Gold rather than AMD Ryzen 9), smaller allocations of RAM, storage and bandwidth, and best-effort support rather than a premium SLA. None of these is a shortcut on the technology itself: it is still full KVM with NVMe storage, ECC memory and root access.
When you see "cheap VPS" deals offering 16 GB of RAM for £1, the savings are usually hidden elsewhere: container virtualisation pretending to be KVM, RAM that every customer competes for, shared spinning disks or 100 Mbps ports. We'd rather tell you exactly what you're getting.
Signs the Budget range is right for you
It runs constantly but does little. A WireGuard endpoint, a Discord bot or a monitoring node is busy all day but barely touches the CPU. Nobody notices response time. A DNS answer in 12 ms rather than 8 ms makes no difference to anyone. You're learning or experimenting. Sysadmin practice and personal projects don't need flagship performance.
When to step up
When you need faster cores, more memory or a 10 Gbps port, move to Performance (Ryzen 9 9950X from £6) or Enterprise (AMD EPYC with ECC from £5 for 4 GB). Traders should look at Forex, a median 3.5 ms from London MT5 brokers. Same control panel, same support team, no migration fees.
FAQ
Cheap UK VPS: frequently asked questions
How much does a cheap UK VPS cost?
Our Budget VPS plans start at £1.75 a month for UK Xeon S (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe). UK Xeon M is £3.50 (2 GB), UK Xeon L is £7 (4 GB) and UK Xeon XL is £12 (2 vCPU, 8 GB). Every plan includes a dedicated UK IPv4 address, DDoS protection, full root access and KVM virtualisation.
What's the catch with cheap VPS hosting?
No catch, just honest trade-offs. The Budget range runs on Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors (older and slower per core than our AMD Ryzen 9 9950X), Gen3 NVMe storage and a standard network port. For VPNs, bots, monitoring, small sites and learning Linux, that is plenty. For busy production sites or anything latency-sensitive, choose Performance.
Is the memory really ECC?
Yes. The Budget range runs on dual Xeon Gold servers with ECC registered DDR4, the same type of error-correcting memory used in enterprise servers. It corrects single-bit memory errors in hardware before they reach your data, which is unusual at this price.
What can I run on a £1.75 VPS?
UK Xeon S comfortably runs a personal WireGuard or OpenVPN endpoint, a small Discord bot, a monitoring agent like Uptime Kuma, a Pi-hole DNS server, a Tor relay or a Linux learning environment. It is not enough for a busy WordPress site or a database under real load: step up to Xeon M or L, or move to another range.
Budget or Enterprise: which should I pick?
Both run in Norwich with ECC memory. Budget is the cheapest way to get a real UK VPS, from £1.75 for 1 GB. If you need 4 GB or more, our Enterprise range on AMD EPYC starts at £5 for 4 GB with 2 vCPU and a 10 Gbps port, so compare both before you order.
Can I upgrade from Budget to another range later?
Yes. We provision your new VPS, give you time to move your data, then cancel the old one. There are no migration fees and no early-termination charges, and we can help with the move. Open a ticket and we'll walk you through it.
Do Budget plans include DDoS protection?
Yes. Every VM6 VPS, in every range, includes always-on DDoS protection at the network edge. It is not a paid add-on.
Are backups included?
Yes. Every Budget plan includes weekly snapshots at no extra cost, so you can roll back if something goes wrong. Off-site backup to a second UK datacentre is available for £8 a month. If you need daily backups, our Forex, Performance and Enterprise ranges include them as standard.
Can I install Windows on a cheap VPS?
Yes, Windows Server templates are available with your own licence. We recommend at least UK Xeon L (4 GB RAM); below that, Windows uses most of the memory before you run anything else, and Linux is the practical choice.
How quickly is my VPS set up?
Card payments activate automatically within minutes. You receive your IP, root credentials and console access by email. Bank transfers and manual reviews can take up to 24 hours.
