Ubuntu
A familiar foundation.
Room to make it yours.
Ubuntu VPS hosting
An Ubuntu VPS for your websites, APIs and everyday tools. Start with root access, dedicated IPv4 and unmetered transfer, then shape the server around your application.

Overview
Start with the system you know.
Ubuntu for a web service, a dev box or your own stack. Pick an available image at checkout, then work over SSH or the browser console.
Root, from the first login
Connect over SSH, install packages, configure services. Full root access means the system and its software are yours to run.
Keys at deploy
Your public SSH key is on the machine at first boot, and no password is emailed. The browser console is there if SSH is not.
A fallback for big changes
Take a snapshot before an upgrade. You can keep up to seven. Daily backups help recovery too; keep consistent database backups as well.
Workflow
A clean start for your next service.
Choose the image. Connect. Make it useful.
Connect and prepare
Use the SSH details in your dashboard or the browser console. Update, add a user, set up the firewall.
Deploy, then keep a restore path
Install your software and enable its services. Back up application state and test a restore before a major upgrade.
Server setup checklist
A self-managed server gives you control of the software. These are the everyday jobs that come with it.
Access
Add your SSH key, create a day-to-day user and confirm console access. Keep a recovery route before changing SSH settings.
Maintenance
Apply security updates, check the support lifecycle for your release and plan upgrades around your application’s dependencies.
Exposure
Allow only the services you mean to publish. Test the firewall with your SSH session open, and keep databases off the public internet.

Answers
A few things to know.
Which Ubuntu versions can I install?+
The ones listed at checkout. Our public guides use Ubuntu 24.04. This page does not promise that every Ubuntu release is offered.
Do I get root access?+
Yes. You administer your Linux VPS over SSH and the browser console. You are responsible for the packages, services and access controls you set up.
Does the plan include Ubuntu Pro?+
No Ubuntu Pro subscription or extra Canonical support is promised. Check the lifecycle and coverage for your release separately.
Can I run Docker on Ubuntu?+
Yes, using Docker’s official instructions on a compatible release. It stays self-managed: review port exposure and firewall behaviour.
Does unmetered mean unlimited?+
Unmetered means no per-GB transfer charge. It does not mean unlimited throughput, and the acceptable use policy applies.
