Developer VPS
Sandbox Servers Built for Building & Testing
SiteHost's Developer VPS gives you a sandbox environment running on reliable legacy enterprise hardware, for a fraction of the cost.
Need a low-cost environment to test configurations, run staging builds, or break things safely before going live? Our Developer VPS is designed for prototyping and testing.
Want to experiment with a new project? Don't worry about disrupting production. Test prototypes on a real server without putting anything else at risk.
Test changes and deployments before hitting your live servers. Reset your server in minutes if things go pear-shaped.
The lowest-risk way to get hands-on experience setting up and maintaining servers. An ideal setup for experiments, student projects, and creative ideas.
Designed for non-production workloads.
As an unmanaged VPS, you get full root access. Install any packages or applications you need, and set them up however you like.
Built with development and testing in mind. Because these servers are designed for non-critical test projects, we're not offering backup services.
These servers are only available to existing customers and students. To make sure there's enough to go around, we've got a limit of two Dev VMs per account.
Provisioned with 1 x IPv4 address. There are no native IPv6 or network upgrade paths for any Developer VPS.
These servers run on fully-tested, deprecated enterprise nodes with NVMe drives. They operate on a best-effort VM availability basis.
Support requests are handled via our ticket system and email. Server Management is unavailable for any Developer VPS.
The SiteHost Control Panel makes VPS management fast and easy. Manage SSH users, access metrics, take snapshots, and more.
A VPS is your independent, virtualised server. You get complete control over the configuration of your system. It's a low-cost way to access raw resources and do what you want with them.
When you get your VPS from SiteHost you get your full allocation of resources at all times. With the Developer VPS tier, you get the full freedom of root access.
When you compare hosting options, a VPS gives you more control and flexibility than Cloud Containers, at a lower price than a Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS).
Our VPS customers say great things about our products, services and support. Things like this.
SiteHost are by far the most reliable and competent hosting company we have used. If I had to choose a company for our VPS needs again, this is the company I would choose. ★★★★★
See Andy's review
When we're hunting around for hosting one of our primary things is support. That's always been key. I've hosted with a lot of American companies, and their support is either next to none, non-existent, or handed off to a call centre that's really not well connected to the company at all. So from my point of view, it's peace of mind.

When we spoke to other providers the barrier to entry was higher. With SiteHost we could be up and running in 10 minutes, that might even be understated, it was probably closer to 5 minutes.
