VM6 Networks: UK VPS hosting on Ryzen 9 hardware

VM6 Networks is a UK hosting provider whose core product is virtual private servers running on AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processors with DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen5 NVMe storage. The company presents its platform as production-grade infrastructure, with KVM hardware isolation, full root access and always-on DDoS mitigation included on every plan. Its catalogue spans shared-vCPU cloud VPS, budget VPS, managed VPS, Forex-oriented VPS and full dedicated servers.

Hosting is delivered from UK datacentres, and the company states that tickets are answered by UK-based engineers. A contractual 99.9% uptime SLA applies across plans, backed by a public status page.

VPS plans and specifications

The UK VPS range is built on the same Zen 5 platform across tiers, from entry-level configurations to larger production workloads. The published plans at the time of writing were:

• UK AMD 2G — £6/month, 2 vCPU at 4.3 GHz, 2 GB DDR5, 40 GB Gen5 NVMe, 2 TB traffic at 10 Gbps, aimed at websites, staging and small applications.
• UK AMD 4G — £9/month, 4 vCPU, 4 GB DDR5, 80 GB Gen5 NVMe, 5 TB traffic; the company describes it as the plan most forex and application customers start on.
• UK AMD 8G — £17/month, 4 vCPU, 8 GB DDR5, 200 GB Gen5 NVMe, 5 TB traffic, for busier sites, control panels and multiple services.
• UK AMD 32G — £59/month, 8 vCPU, 32 GB DDR5, 400 GB Gen5 NVMe, 10 TB traffic, for production SaaS and virtualisation workloads.

All plans include daily backups with 14-day retention, always-on DDoS protection and the 99.9% SLA. The company also lists a UK Budget VPS line on Intel Xeon from £1.75/month, and notes that plans can be scaled up in place.

Forex VPS for trading platforms

A dedicated Forex VPS line targets traders running MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader continuously without keeping a local machine switched on. VM6 Networks highlights low-latency routes to London broker campuses, Ryzen 9 cores and optional dedicated cores for heavy expert advisors. The site cites a latency figure of 4.2 ms from its Coventry location to an LD4 broker at Equinix London, and offers a looking glass tool so prospective customers can test the network from their own connection. Forex VPS pricing starts at £9/month.

Dedicated servers and managed hosting

For workloads where shared CPU is a constraint, the company offers dedicated servers from £35/month on AMD Ryzen 9 and EPYC platforms, with NVMe RAID, ECC DDR5 memory, a 10 Gbps uplink, full IPMI and remote KVM, always-on DDoS protection and optional full management. Custom configurations are available.

Managed hosting is sold as an add-on of £29/month applicable to any VPS plan. It covers 24/7 proactive monitoring, OS and package patching, daily backup verification, security hardening, engineer-led incident response, a priority ticket SLA and a monthly health report.

Infrastructure and network

VM6 Networks operates Tier-3 facilities in Coventry, Maidenhead and London, with 10 Gbps uplinks and direct LINX peering that the company says places most UK and European networks within 10 ms. Every Coventry VPS carries a 10 Gbps port with a 5 Gbps guaranteed minimum. Off-site backups to a second UK datacentre are available as an add-on.

The platform includes more than 26 Linux templates, Windows readiness, custom ISO upload and instant deployment. The company also publishes free open-source shell scripts on GitHub and maintains a blog covering infrastructure updates and hosting guidance.

Commercial terms

VM6 Networks advertises a 14-day money-back period and a contractual uptime SLA with credit-back terms. The site states that DDoS mitigation is included rather than charged as an extra, a point it contrasts with common industry practice.
