Linux VPS terms explained
- vCPU
- A virtual CPU core reserved for your VPS. More vCPUs let your server handle more simultaneous work.
- KVM virtualisation
- Hardware-level virtualisation that gives every VPS its own kernel and isolated resources, like a small dedicated server.
- Root access
- Full administrator control of a Linux server, so you can install and configure any software.
- Unmetered traffic
- Data transfer is not counted or billed per GB; you can use your port speed all month for a fixed price.
- SSD / NVMe storage
- Flash storage with no moving parts that loads files and database queries far faster than hard disks.
- DDoS protection
- Network filtering that detects and blocks floods of malicious traffic before they reach your server.

VPS UK: frequently asked questions
Quick answers about our Linux VPS hosting in the UK.
Still have a question?
Our hosting engineers are online 24/7 and usually reply within minutes.

A UK VPS is a virtual private server hosted in a data centre in the United Kingdom. You get guaranteed CPU, RAM and SSD storage, a dedicated British IPv4 address and full root access. HostFinch UK Linux VPS plans start at $8.40 per month.
02Is a UK VPS better than a European VPS for UK visitors?

Most orders are provisioned automatically within minutes of payment, and your IP address and root login arrive by email.

Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS Stream and Fedora are available, and you can reinstall at any time. For Windows, see our Windows VPS UK plans.
