Do I need a VPS?
If you want the control and options of a dedicated server, but with the affordability of shared
hosting, then a VPS is for you. They’re recommended for those who want to host both
websites and apps.
Freedom and independence
Install what you want, when you want. Our advanced hardware – with guaranteed resources always available – gives you the headroom to run powerful modern applications. They’re perfect for business, gaming or communications.
Secure and resilient
Your VPS is partitioned from others and is as secure as a physical dedicated server. It’s in a physically-secure UK data centre with an uninterruptible power supply – so you can rely on it always being available. Our 1 Tbps anti-DDoS protection will cover you against denial of service attacks.
Compelling business case
If you run a business, it’s reassuring to have guaranteed compute and storage resources available. Simply spin-up a low-cost VM whenever you need it. A Acorn Web Hosting VPS gives businesses the power of having a dedicated server, without the capital expense and worries of having your own hardware. It becomes an operational expense, like a utility.

Snapshot Backups
While our virtual private servers have a 99.99% uptime guarantee, there are still ways that a disaster may strike. For example, someone (not you – of course!) might miss a security update and your VPS could become a victim of malware.
So it’s still important to back up your VPS regularly. You can do this easily from the MyAcorn Web Hosting control panel. But what if you forget..?
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.
