Our platform belongs to hostworld - no one else - and we take pride in it. To offer you the best possible service we continually invest in our infrastructure. From enterprise-grade hardware to our lightning-fast network, every element is optimised giving you one of the fastest and most powerful hosting solutions available on the market today.

If your site is outgrowing web hosting then the next step up is a virtual private server. A virtual private server (VPS) is a virtual machine that runs its own copy of an operating system with root access. Choose a hostworld VPS powered by KVM. Your resources are fully fenced off from other users so no interference and you can expand your resources as needed for a flexible solution.
Each virtual server is private from the others and it functions the same as a regular dedicated server. Our VPS servers are optimised for performance giving you incredible speeds and security. You'll also be supported by our expert team 24/7. Simply choose your operating system, place your order and start using it today.
Our servers have been optimised with the latest NVMe SSD drives and KVM virtualisation technology,
A Kernal-Based Virtual Machine is open-source virtualisation technology built into Linux. KVM allows you to turn your Linux into a hypervisor so you can run and manage more virtual machines on a computer.
The benefit of using KVM technology is that it gives you dedicated resources via an isolated kernel, control panel and operating system. This puts you in charge of your hosting account with full root server access which means you can modify, inspect or customise your webserver and other installations to suit your requirements. This puts you in charge of your online activities.
Other users on the server will not affect you and vice versa. This makes it a flexible, scalable, secure, fast and affordable solution to run high resource web applications so you can achieve the results you want from your website or project.
