Two ways to run your cloud

Two cloud tiers. Choose the resilience you need.

High Availability

Built for business continuity

Automatic recovery when a physical host fails, with triple-replicated NVMe storage across the cluster. Ideal for important websites, applications and services where availability matters.

Storage: Triple-replicated NVMe
If a host fails: Automatic recovery on another host
From: £3.00 vCPU · £2.50 GB RAM

Standard

Everyday cloud hosting, exceptional value

Fast cloud servers with dedicated storage on a single host. Ideal for websites, development, staging and workloads that don't require automatic host failover.

Storage: Dedicated NVMe on a single host
Ideal for: Websites, apps, dev and staging
From: £2.40 vCPU · £2.00 GB RAM

Every VM includes

The essentials, built into the panel.

Your operating system, your choice

Linux distributions, Windows Server, AI-ready images, your own ISO, or boot from an attached cloud disk.

Build your private network visually

Connect VMs on a live canvas and the private network is hot-plugged. No forms, no reboots.

Snapshots & Backups

Take snapshots before making changes, including VM memory where supported. Enable optional backups for additional protection, with file-level browsing and recovery.

Per-VM firewall

Every VM shows its protection status on the map, so an open port is flagged before it becomes an incident.

Uptime monitoring

Built-in monitors alert you by email and webhook the moment a VM stops responding.

IPv6 and 1 TB egress

A free IPv6 /64 and 1 TB of outbound traffic per VM. We only bill egress, never inbound.

FAQ

Questions about Cloud VMs

Something else? Talk to our UK team.

How does the monthly cap work?

You're billed hourly for the resources you provision, up to 672 hours per billing month. Keep a VM running all month and its core VM charges won't exceed the monthly cap shown. Delete resources you no longer need to stop their associated charges.

What's the difference between High Availability and Standard?

High Availability keeps triple-replicated NVMe storage across the cluster and automatically recovers your VM on another host if a physical host fails. Standard gives you fast cloud servers with dedicated storage on a single host, at a lower price, for workloads that don't require automatic host failover.

Is Windows Server and SQL licensing included?

Yes. Deploy Windows Server from a template and add SQL Server as a licensed add-on. The licence is billed with your VM, and your download link and key are in the panel.

How is bandwidth billed?

Each VM includes 1 TB of egress, then it's £0.003 per GB. Inbound traffic is free, and an IPv6 /64 is included at no charge.

Can I resell Cloud VMs to my own customers?

Yes. Turn on reselling in your QuickCloud account to sell under your own brand and domain, bill through the WHMCS module or the reseller API, and set your own prices.

Can AI access my servers?

Only if you allow it. Ask AI works through the panel by default. Access inside a VM is opt-in for each server, and you can revoke it at any time.

Where is my data hosted?

In our own UK datacentre, which we own and operate. We're ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified and have been hosting since 2012.
