How to order your KVM VPS

Not sure about KVM? We also offer OpenVZ plans.

Find out which is best for you.


Swap Space

We provide you with disk swap space in a separate partition, for times when your system is under peak load and requires more memory than the basic amount of RAM. This can degrade performance but allows you peace of mind that your system is unlikely to run out of memory. You should choose a plan with enough RAM to cover your normal usage, and swap should only occasionally be needed.

Swap space is taken out of the total disk space allocation. 2 x RAM is considered a fairly standard amount of swap to have, but we can set aside more or less swap space if you would prefer.


Disk Space

We measure disk space in true SI gigabytes, as is standard practice with hard drive equipment. So with a 15GB allocation, you get 15,000,000,000 bytes.



Stay Connected

When trying to create a successful site the last thing you want to worry about is being too successful. Similarly offsite backups are useless if you are too constrained by your traffic limit to actually use them. This is why we operate a traffic policy designed to keep you connected, and with no additional data fees.

The traffic limit that comes as part of each plan is the total amount of data per month that can be sent or received using all the available bandwidth. Should this limit be reached the connection will be automatically throttled to 128kbit/s for the rest of the month. This way you never lose connectivity, and you never get an unexpected bill.


IP Addresses

By default, we give out one IP address per server since this is adequate for most purposes and IP addresses are a scarce resource. However, you can order more.

If you decide later on that you would like to use more IP addresses than originally planned we can usually accommodate this, however, it may be necessary to restart your server.

Please note that as a provider we have a responsibility to conserve IPv4 space. If you are requesting more than one IP address per VPS, you must supply a reasonable justification for doing so.
