What is a VPS in the United Kingdom?
A UK VPS is a KVM virtual server located in London, with dedicated resources (vCPU, RAM, NVMe), public IP, and root access. It serves projects that must reach users in the United Kingdom, Ireland, or the European English-speaking sphere with minimal RTT.
Unlike shared hosting, a VPS UK guarantees isolated resources for professional WordPress, e-commerce, REST APIs, and game servers targeting British audiences.
