Drupal hosting with the resources you control

With a Farbyte Drupal VPS, you choose the CPU, RAM, NVMe storage, bandwidth and other resources required for your workload. You also have full root access to the server.

Built for modern Drupal websites
Drupal can support relatively simple content websites as well as large, complex applications. A VPS gives you the flexibility to configure the underlying environment around the needs of your particular Drupal installation.
Content-rich websites
Host corporate websites, publishing platforms, membership sites and other content-heavy Drupal projects.
Dynamic applications
Run Drupal applications backed by databases, APIs, integrations and custom modules.
Custom Drupal builds
Use your own modules, themes, PHP configuration and supporting services without shared hosting restrictions.
Choose managed or unmanaged Drupal hosting
Managed Drupal VPS
Farbyte manages the underlying VPS and operating system, including server administration, updates, monitoring and security configuration. You remain responsible for your Drupal application, modules and content.
Unmanaged Drupal VPS
You have full root access and take responsibility for the VPS, operating system, Drupal installation, security and ongoing maintenance.
A Drupal environment you can configure
Drupal’s requirements depend on the version, modules and workload involved. Running your own VPS gives you control over the software stack rather than forcing your site into a fixed shared hosting environment.
PHP configuration
Choose and configure a supported PHP environment appropriate for your Drupal version and installed modules.
Database control
Run Drupal with a supported database platform and configure resources around the needs of your site.
Caching & performance
Configure caching and other performance services around the requirements of your Drupal application.
UK Drupal VPS infrastructure
Your Drupal VPS runs on Farbyte’s UK KVM infrastructure, backed by modern AMD EPYC processors and NVMe storage.
AMD EPYC processors
High-performance server CPUs provide the processing capacity for demanding Drupal workloads.
NVMe storage
Fast NVMe-backed storage provides responsive performance for Drupal files, databases and application data.
UK hosting

Running Drupal on a supported Linux environment
Drupal recommends Linux or a similar operating system for hosting production sites. Drupal 11 requires PHP 8.3 or later, while supported database options include MySQL 8.0+, MariaDB 10.6+, PostgreSQL 16+ and SQLite 3.45+. Requirements can change between Drupal releases and individual modules may have additional requirements.
Farbyte provides a choice of Linux operating systems so you can build the server environment around your Drupal requirements.
Moving an existing Drupal website
Moving Drupal from another hosting provider to a VPS gives you greater control over the underlying environment and resources. The migration normally involves transferring the Drupal files, database and configuration, followed by testing the site on the new server before changing DNS.
If you choose a managed VPS, Farbyte can assist with the underlying server setup and migration process. The exact migration work depends on the existing Drupal version, modules, hosting environment and application configuration.
