Favourite UK VPS host?
Hi,
I have a new requirement for a VPS (KVM hopefully) based in the UK. I've seen names like Inception Hosting and Nexus Bytes around here regularly, so perhaps that's a good starting point for me. Was just curious about other options as well, does anyone have a favourite UK VPS host that they'd recommend as well?
Cheers.
Comments
Inception were great when it was the @AnthonySmith show, and now they’re owned by @Clouvider who are widely accepted to be the most Prem UK provider on LET, if not one of the most Prem full stop (opinions will vary).
You could also go with @AlexBarakov from AlphaVPS, who runs a tight ship and has a London location.
Here are some other options.
These providers have services in the UK.
Did someone mention NexusBytes? Tis prem @seriesn
Brexit is my favorite UK host.
Thanks for the mention @DP - @fixxation we'd be happy to help sort something out if you want. Might be an idea to drop the specs you're after in this thread?
Chap, what's the location in the UK?
Wolverhampton - West Midlands @Nekki
NOICE
I use a few, and have been beyond satisfied with them:
1. @stratagem in Nottingham Wolverhampton
2. VMHaus in London
3. @Clouvider - I am renting a dedicated from them, but I am sure their "cloud" line is just as nice
4. @virtono - in Manchester
5. @InceptionHosting - cause can't go wrong with a @Clouvider owned VPS
I am sure I am missing someone in this list, but these are definitely good choices.
Post requirements, and we can all go from there...

?? Nottingham or Wolverhampton ??
About 50 miles off
I could be wrong, I just saw their reply.. I was pretty sure it was Nottingham 🤔
Ah, my bad. I remembered Nottingham, cause of Robin Hood lol 😆
We take from the rich & give to LET.
Not because of Nottingham Forest, Nottingham Forest F.C., they're the greatest team you'll ever see?
Then you'll have to include a free bottle of Worcestershire Sauce with every VPS.
Buy annually, get free sauce - not a bad marketing campaign, will keep that on one in mind!
What does Worcestershire Sauce have to do with Wolverhampton?
No relations of course.
Just something good for the food.
Put some hotdogs in pan, pour some Worcestershire Sauce in, let it fry for a little and boom!
Next time, try a little Henderson's Relish instead.
Sounds good, thanks!
Not budget, but Krystal’s new cloud offering has been the best I found so far.
We offer services out of Telehouse in London, let us know what specifications you are looking for and we may be able to help out!
Wow, thanks for the detailed list @DP - I'll check them all out. And thanks guys for all the other replies as well
Apologies- forgot the specs earlier... it's not a huge box by any means, but looking for something along these lines to start off:
KVM virtualisation preferred
1-2 cores (2 cores preferred)
2GB RAM
20GB SSD
Backup option in case of data centre disaster would certainly be a bonus
Anywhere in the UK is fine. Annual payment not a problem.
Currently using @hostworld with no issues
Thanks for the mention @DP - weve got Nottingham and London in the UK so sure we could help out.
OH NOTTINGHAM, OH NOTTINGHAM, IS FULL OF FUN, IS FULL OF FUN, OH NOTTINGHAM IS FULL OF FUN. IT'S FULL OF TITS, FANNY AND FOREST, OH NOTINGHAM IS FULL OF FUN

@stratagem @Mr_Tom are you lads planning anything for BF? ‘Exotic’ UK locations excite me, but I don’t want to by today if you’ve got something arousing coming next weekend.
@Nekki nothing for BF proper but we’ll have some nice offers for the festive period.
I have a few with @hostworld they include backups for free too.
