Farbyte's cloud virtual server service dramatically reduces costs compared on-premise & co-located server solutions.
In addition, our UK cloud services cost only around 10% of other cloud providers like AWS, Azure & Google Cloud!
There are no hardware devices to purchase, maintain, configure & upgrade.
All VPS can be administered remotely, from anywhere in the world, eliminating the associated costs & lost productivity of site visits.
With triple replication of all data & multiple failover paths, our cloud infrastructure provides a more reliable platform than dedicated or on-premise solutions & at a fraction of the cost!

Managed VPS are great for any purpose. Whether you have administrative skills or not.
We provide 1 hour of ad-hoc server administration support for each managed VPS every month (e.g. applications installs / configuration, etc.) and unlimited admin support on control panels like cPanel and Plesk.
We also see to OS updates & general server maintenance for the life of the VPS.
If you don't require server administrative support, on-going maintenance & VPS hardening, please see our Unmanaged VPS service which starts from as little as £8.95 per server.
