Production-grade KVM VPS hosting on AMD Ryzen 9 9950X with DDR5 memory and Gen4 NVMe SSD storage. Hosted in UK datacentres with 10 Gbps networking, Advanced DDoS protection, daily backups and a 99.9% SLA — all included on every plan.
Advanced infrastructure and premium features included with every AMD Ryzen 9 9950x UK VPS plan.
16-core Zen 5 processor with 5.7GHz max boost. Significantly faster than the Intel Xeon chips used by most UK VPS providers - especially for single-threaded workloads.
PCIe Gen4 NVMe delivers 3,800+ MB/s sequential read speeds - exponentially faster than SATA SSD or spinning HDD. Minimal I/O wait, fast database queries, instant OS boots.
Always-on Advanced DDoS mitigation at the network edge - included free on every UK VPS plan. Malicious traffic is scrubbed before it touches your server.
Every UK VPS connects to a 10Gbps port with a guaranteed 5Gbps throughput - 10x faster than the standard 1Gbps offered by Ionos, Fasthosts, and Heart Internet.
5600MT/s DDR5 memory allocated exclusively to your VPS. Higher bandwidth than DDR4, with no overcommitment or sharing between customers.
Every UK VPS includes 1 dedicated IPv4 address and a full /64 IPv6 subnet at no extra cost. Additional IPv4 addresses available at £1.85/mo each.
Upload up to 2 custom ISO images (8GB each) to boot from. Run any OS - including niche Linux distros, FreeBSD, or custom builds not in our template library.
Automatic daily snapshots stored off-site. Take manual snapshots at any time and restore instantly via VirtFusion - roll back in seconds, not hours.
Complete control with the VirtFusion control panel - VNC browser console, OS rebuilds, ISO mounting, rDNS management, network controls, and real-time monitoring.
Every plan runs on the same Ryzen 9 9950X platform with DDR5 memory, Gen4 NVMe storage and 10 Gbps networking. Shared vCPU with sensible burst headroom. Production-ready for websites, applications, SaaS workloads and MT4/MT5 Trading.
Shared vCPU is the right call for most workloads — websites idle, apps spike, sharing lets you punch above your weight when you need to. But some workloads aren't bursty. They're consistently busy. Trading EAs running 24/7. Game servers under load. Production SaaS hammering MySQL all day.
For those, add Dedicated Cores: pin one of your vCPUs to a physical Ryzen 9 9950X core. That core is yours alone — no sharing, no contention, no noisy neighbours. 100% of the cycles, 100% of the time.
Why it's there: some customers need real dedicated CPU but a full dedicated server (£89+/mo) is overkill. This sits between the two — VPS price, dedicated performance on the cores you actually use.
VirtFusion is integrated directly with our Ryzen 9 platform. Provision in minutes, rebuild in seconds, manage everything from one panel — no ticket required.
Our VPS platform runs on the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X — a 16-core, 32-thread Zen 5 processor with 5.7 GHz boost, 64 MB L3 cache and native DDR5 support. The reasons are concrete, not marketing:
Significant per-clock improvements over Zen 4, with measurable speedups for databases, PHP web apps, build pipelines and any control-panel-heavy workload.
High single-core clock matters more than core count for cPanel sites, MetaTrader, game servers, and anything that's bottlenecked on one thread. Most Xeon-based UK VPS providers can't touch this.
A large shared L3 reduces memory access latency for busy databases, cache-heavy applications, and any sustained workload with a working set bigger than L2.
More memory bandwidth than DDR4 platforms can offer. Handles more concurrent requests and heavier memory workloads without the bottlenecks of older silicon.
Add extra resources at any time from the control panel. Most add-ons activate instantly. No setup fees, no minimum terms.

From MetaTrader to multi-tenant SaaS — here's what production traffic on VM6 actually looks like.
Faster TTFB, better concurrency, stable under traffic spikes — Gen4 NVMe and dedicated DDR5 do the heavy lifting.
Predictable performance, UK data residency, real isolation. Production hosting without enterprise pricing.
Improved query speeds and concurrent connection counts thanks to 64 MB L3 cache and Gen4 NVMe I/O.
Fast build pipelines, Git runners and deployment workers — strong multi-core CPU plus Gen4 NVMe makes a real difference.
Consistent throughput and 10 Gbps uplink for media servers, video hosting and live streaming workloads.
Automated trading needs low latency and stability around the clock — UK hosting delivers both, 24/7.
A UK VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtualised server hosted in a UK datacentre with dedicated resources — CPU, RAM and NVMe storage — isolated from other customers on the same physical hardware. Unlike shared hosting, you aren't competing with strangers' WordPress sites for memory or I/O.
VM6 uses KVM virtualisation — full hardware-level isolation, not the kernel-sharing tricks of OpenVZ or LXC. Your RAM, storage and bandwidth allocations are guaranteed as specified. vCPU is shared with sensible contention, with headroom to burst when your workload needs it.
You get full root access, the ability to install any software, run any OS from our template library or via custom ISO, and complete control over your environment — from firewall rules to kernel parameters.
If your customers are in the UK or EU, a UK-hosted VPS makes a measurable difference. Latency from our Coventry datacentre to London is typically under 10ms, versus 20–50ms from EU servers and 80–150ms from US-based providers. That difference shows up directly in TTFB, database round-trips and API response times.
For UK businesses, UK hosting also simplifies GDPR and data residency. Your data stays within UK borders. We're a UK limited company subject to UK law, with a DPA available on request.
For forex and algorithmic traders, latency to London-based brokers from our Coventry DC is consistently low — making VM6 a popular choice for MT4, MT5 and custom EA deployments.
Benchmarked against the providers most UK businesses consider. The hardware gap is real — and so is the price difference.
