Best suited to users who are comfortable managing setup, security, updates, and troubleshooting themselves.

Unmanaged VPS Hosting is ideal for technical users who want flexibility without paying for management they do not need.

It is a cost-effective way to run websites, apps, custom stacks, game servers, development environments, and more. Because this is unmanaged, you are responsible for setup, security, maintenance, updates, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Maximum freedom comes with full responsibility

This is the right fit when your team wants complete control over the operating system, software stack, and server behaviour. It is not the right fit if you want hands-on help running and maintaining the environment day to day.

Unmanaged VPS Builder

Build the VPS request, review the live estimate, and send the full configuration for manual review.

This is an enquiry flow, not a checkout. We review every request manually, confirm any pricing that still needs approval, and come back with the next step within 48 hours.

Step 1

Choose your VPS Package

Step 2

Add cPanel Control Panel

Using cPanel when managing a server is the preferred option because it takes care of everyday remedial tasks that a server handles. If you are comfortable managing it on your own you can opt not to use a control panel.

Step 3

Choose Your Operating System or Apps

To use Windows as an operating system a VPS of 2GB or higher must be selected.

Step 4

Add Snapshot Back up

Our Snapshot Backup service automatically creates full backups of your virtual machines, apps and storage. You can set an automatic snapshot to take place on a daily, weekly or fortnightly basis.

Step 5

Choose your VPS location
