Entry-level UK VPS from £4.99/mo - AMD Ryzen, NVMe SSD, DDoS protection included
About This Feature
Cheap VPS hosting doesn't have to mean cheap hardware. Our entry UK VPS plans start at £4.99/mo and run on the same AMD Ryzen 9 7950X nodes as our premium tiers - the only difference is the allocated vCPU count and RAM. DDoS protection, NVMe Gen4 SSD storage, and UK data residency are included regardless of plan price. For developers, small applications, Discord bots, Minecraft servers, or staging environments, our entry plans provide everything you need at a price that doesn't require budget approval.
Performance on Glitch VPS plans is driven by AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processors - single-core clock speeds that handle application workloads, database queries, and concurrent web traffic without the CPU credit limits that cap performance on burstable cloud instances. Storage runs on NVMe Gen4 drives with sequential read speeds of 3,500 MB/s, eliminating the I/O bottleneck that affects VPS plans running on SATA SSD or shared SAN.
Glitch Servers operates AS212868 with direct peering at LINX and LONAP - the London Internet Exchange and London Access Point - providing low-latency paths to BT, Virgin Media, Sky, TalkTalk, and other major UK ISPs without unnecessary Continental European hops. For users connecting across the UK, that translates to consistent single-digit-to-low-double-digit millisecond round-trip times under normal UK network conditions.
Every plan includes Corero Smartwall inline DDoS mitigation operating at the network edge. Traffic scrubbing runs continuously without latency penalty, absorbing volumetric floods before they reach the hypervisor layer. Full plan specifications and pricing are on the UK VPS hosting page.
