Flexible CPU resources
Choose the virtual CPU capacity your Joomla website needs and increase resources as your workload grows.
Joomla VPS Hosting
Joomla VPS Hosting UK
Run your Joomla website on a dedicated virtual server with flexible CPU, RAM and NVMe storage resources. Get full root access and choose managed or unmanaged VPS hosting.
Built for Joomla
Give Joomla its own VPS environment
A Joomla website can have very different hosting requirements depending on its size, traffic, extensions and the complexity of the site.
A Joomla VPS gives your website its own virtual server environment rather than sharing server resources with unrelated websites. You get allocated virtual CPU and RAM resources, fast NVMe storage and full administrative access to the server.
This gives you considerably more control over the environment running Joomla and provides room to configure the server around the requirements of your website.

Performance
More resources for demanding Joomla websites
Joomla performance depends on more than bandwidth. PHP execution, database queries, page generation, extensions, search operations and visitor activity can all contribute to server load.
With your own VPS, CPU and RAM resources are allocated to your environment rather than being shared across a large collection of unrelated websites. This provides a more controlled platform for websites with greater or less predictable workloads.
The server can also be configured around the needs of your Joomla installation instead of being limited to the configuration of a shared hosting platform.

Joomla stack
Configure the server around your Joomla website
Joomla depends on several components working together, including PHP, a database and a web server. The versions and configuration of those components can affect compatibility and performance.
Having your own VPS gives you control over that environment. You can install the software you need, configure the server and choose the services that make sense for your website.
This is particularly useful when your Joomla installation relies on extensions, integrations or other server-side software that requires more control than conventional shared hosting provides.

Extensions & integrations
Room for demanding Joomla extensions
Joomla websites often depend on extensions to provide ecommerce, membership systems, search, forms, analytics, integrations and other functionality.
As a website becomes more complex, those extensions can increase PHP processing, database activity and memory requirements. A VPS gives you more control over the resources available to the application and the supporting services it uses.
If an extension or integration requires additional server software or configuration, full root access gives you considerably more flexibility than a conventional shared hosting environment.

Managed or unmanaged
Choose how much of the server you manage
Not every Joomla website owner wants to become a server administrator. Farbyte gives you a choice of managed or unmanaged VPS hosting.
With a managed VPS, Farbyte takes care of the underlying server environment, including operating system maintenance, server administration and ongoing infrastructure management. You can concentrate on managing your Joomla website rather than maintaining the server.
With an unmanaged VPS, you have full control of the server and take responsibility for its administration. This is suited to developers, agencies and technically experienced users who want to manage the environment themselves.

Scaling
Scale your Joomla VPS as your website grows
A Joomla website can grow considerably over time. More content, visitors, extensions, integrations and background processes can all increase the resources required by the application.
A VPS gives you a flexible foundation that can grow with the website. CPU, RAM and storage can be increased as your requirements change, subject to the available VPS configuration.
This allows you to increase the capacity of your hosting environment without having to redesign the website or move to an entirely different hosting platform.

Migration
Move your existing Joomla website to a VPS
Already running Joomla on shared hosting or another provider? Moving to a VPS does not mean rebuilding your website.
We can help migrate your existing Joomla files and database to a new Farbyte VPS and work through the required DNS and configuration changes.
The migration can be planned around your existing website to minimise disruption. Once the new environment has been tested, your domain can be switched to the new server.

Beyond Joomla
A VPS gives you more than just website hosting
Because you control the underlying server, your VPS can run supporting services alongside Joomla where appropriate.
This could include monitoring tools, scheduled jobs, integration services, development tools, databases or other applications that form part of your website infrastructure.
You are not restricted to a predefined shared hosting environment, giving developers and agencies considerably more flexibility over how the server is configured.
