About This Feature
Linux VPS UK from Glitch Servers provides scalable virtual infrastructure running on bare-metal AMD Ryzen hardware - backed by AMD Ryzen hardware, NVMe Gen4 storage, and UK-native routing through AS212868. Linux is the operating system of the internet - powering 96% of web servers, most cloud infrastructure, and virtually all serious hosting environments. Our UK Linux VPS plans give you a clean, root-accessible Linux install on KVM hypervisor hardware, with your choice of distribution from our supported list. Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 LTS for modern developers; Debian 11 and 12 for stability-first administrators; AlmaLinux 9 and Rocky Linux 9 for RHEL-compatible enterprise workloads; CentOS Stream 9 for cutting-edge Red Hat ecosystem users. Switch distributions any time via OS reinstall from the control panel.
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.
