Setting up your PureSSD VPS

Your new PureSSD VPS is a self-managed Virtual Private Server giving you free rein over your Operating System. You’ll have full admin privileges, so you can configure your server to meet your needs.

If you would prefer a managed VPS where we can include monitoring, backups and recovery if purchased, then we take care of your services so you can focus on running your business.
