When your website outgrows shared hosting, a VPS or dedicated server gives you the resources and control to handle more traffic, run resource-intensive applications, and host multiple sites under one roof. With Ultra, every VPS and dedicated server is built on hardware we own and operate in our Seattle-area datacenter. Our staff works on-site, so hardware issues get fixed immediately, not after a ticket sits in a third-party queue. All plans are fully managed, which means we handle OS updates, security patching, monitoring and server health so you can focus on your websites.
Cloudflare CDN
As an optimized hosting partner, Ultra Web Hosting provides easy integration with Cloudflare at no extra cost on all VPS and dedicated plans. Cloudflare is a content delivery network (CDN) that caches your website content across data centers worldwide, so visitors load your pages from the server closest to them. This reduces the load on your server and speeds up page delivery. Cloudflare also provides built-in DDoS protection, bot mitigation, and a web application firewall that blocks common threats before they reach your server.
Free Server Migration
Switching from another provider? If your current host uses cPanel, we will transfer your accounts over to your new VPS or dedicated server for free. We can also transfer most domain registrations so everything is managed in one place. To get started, submit a support ticket after placing your order with your previous provider's login details. Our migration team will move your accounts, databases and email configurations over and make sure everything is optimized for your new server. You are also welcome to handle the transfer yourself through SSH, FTP or the cPanel/WHM interface.
In-House Hardware
Ultra's dedicated servers and VPS hosts run on Dell rack servers with Intel Xeon processors, up to 64GB+ of RAM, RAID storage arrays with redundant drives, and dual power feeds, all connected to a high-speed backbone powered by Cisco networking equipment. Unlike most hosting providers who resell cloud infrastructure from AWS, Google Cloud, or a third-party datacenter, Ultra owns and operates all of its hardware in-house. Our staff works on-site at the datacenter, which means if a drive fails or a server needs attention, we can respond immediately without waiting in someone else's support queue. That direct access to hardware is something most managed hosting providers simply cannot offer.
On-site Support
Ultra runs a stable environment with very little to no downtime. Our office is on-site at our datacenter, which means faster response times when server issues come up. We have been hosting websites since 2002 and our team has the hands-on experience to resolve just about any server or website issue quickly. With tens of thousands of clients over the years, we have seen it all and know how to get things right. We are webmasters ourselves, and hosting is what we do. With hundreds of client testimonials and numerous industry awards, there is no reason not to give Ultra a try.
VPS vs. Dedicated Server: Which One Do You Need? Understanding Your Options
A VPS (Virtual Private Server) gives you a dedicated slice of a physical server with your own CPU cores, RAM and disk space. It runs on KVM virtualization, which means your resources are guaranteed and isolated from other VPS instances on the same machine. VPS hosting is a great fit if you have outgrown shared hosting, need root access, or want to run custom software that shared environments do not support. It gives you dedicated-server-level control at a lower cost.
A dedicated server is an entire physical machine reserved just for you. All of the CPU, RAM, storage and bandwidth belong to your account alone. Dedicated servers are the right choice for high-traffic websites, large eCommerce stores, game servers, custom applications, or businesses that need to host dozens or hundreds of websites under their own WHM. If your workload needs consistent high performance without sharing any hardware resources, dedicated is the way to go.
Not sure which one fits your situation? Contact our team and we will help you figure out the right plan based on your traffic, resource needs and budget. Since we build and manage our own servers, we can also put together a custom configuration if none of the standard plans are quite right.
What's Included With Every VPS & Dedicated Plan Fully Managed, Fully Loaded
cPanel and WHM
Every plan includes cPanel with Web Host Manager (WHM). Create and manage individual cPanel accounts for each of your websites or clients, set up DNS zones, configure email, manage SSL certificates and control PHP versions, all from a familiar web-based interface.
Full Root Access
You get full root SSH access to your server so you can install software, configure services, set up cron jobs, manage firewall rules, and customize your environment however you need. Your server, your rules.
Managed Security and Updates
Our team monitors your server, applies OS and security patches, and responds to issues proactively. We handle the server administration so you can focus on your websites and applications instead of worrying about whether the latest kernel vulnerability has been patched.
RAID Storage
Dedicated server plans use hardware RAID1 disk arrays, which mirror your data across multiple drives for redundancy. If a single drive fails, your data stays safe and the server keeps running while we swap the failed drive.
Redundant Power and Network
All servers run on dual redundant power feeds with UPS battery backup and are connected to a high-speed backbone powered by Cisco networking hardware. Our datacenter infrastructure is designed to keep your server online even if individual components fail.
Free Migration
Moving from another host? If your current provider uses cPanel, we will migrate your accounts, websites, databases and email to your new Ultra server at no charge. Submit a ticket after ordering and our team handles the rest.
Custom Configurations
Need something different from the standard plans? Contact us and we can build a custom server to match your exact requirements. Since we own our hardware and datacenter, we have the flexibility to configure CPU, RAM, storage, and software stacks to fit your project.
24/7 On-site Support
Our technical support team works on-site at our datacenter and is available 24/7/365 by live chat and ticket. You will talk to real people based in the US who actually understand server administration, not a chatbot or an outsourced call center reading from a script.
Why Choose Ultra for VPS and Dedicated Hosting? We Own Our Hardware. We Are On-Site. That Makes a Difference.
When you rent a dedicated server or VPS from most hosting companies, your hardware is sitting in a datacenter the hosting company does not own, managed by technicians they do not employ. If a drive fails at 2am, they open a support ticket with the datacenter and wait. At Ultra, we own our servers and our datacenter is our office. When something goes wrong with hardware, we walk over and fix it. That difference in response time can mean the difference between five minutes of downtime and five hours.
We have been doing this since 2002 and have the experience that comes with over two decades of managing servers for businesses of all sizes. Whether you need a VPS to host a handful of growing websites or a dedicated Xeon server for a high-traffic application, our team can help you choose the right configuration and keep it running smoothly. We also offer a price guarantee so your renewal rate will not jump after the first term.
Frequently Asked Questions Common Questions About VPS and Dedicated Hosting
What is the difference between a VPS and a dedicated server?
A VPS is a virtualized partition of a physical server that gives you guaranteed CPU, RAM and storage. A dedicated server is an entire physical machine reserved for your use. VPS is more affordable and works great for growing sites, while dedicated servers provide maximum performance for high-traffic or resource-heavy workloads.
What does "managed" mean?
Managed hosting means our team handles server administration including OS updates, security patches, monitoring and hardware issues. You focus on your websites while we keep the server healthy, secure and up to date. We are available 24/7 if anything comes up.
Do I get root access?
Yes. All VPS and dedicated server plans include full root access via SSH. You have complete control to install software, configure services, and customize your server environment.
Do plans include cPanel?
Yes. All plans include cPanel with Web Host Manager (WHM), giving you a web-based interface to create hosting accounts, manage DNS, configure email, handle databases and more.
Can I upgrade from shared hosting?
Absolutely. Many customers start on shared hosting and upgrade as their traffic grows. Our team can help migrate your websites and cPanel accounts to your new server with minimal downtime.
Do you offer custom server configurations?
Yes. If the standard plans do not fit your needs, contact us and we can put together a custom build with the CPU, RAM, storage and software you require. We own our hardware, so we have the flexibility to build exactly what you need.
Where are your servers located?
All servers are in our own datacenter in the Seattle, Washington area. The facility has redundant power, UPS backup, Cisco networking, and on-site technical staff available around the clock.
Do you own your servers or resell from a third party?
We own and operate all of our server hardware. Our technical staff works on-site at the datacenter, so hardware issues are handled directly without waiting on a third-party support queue. This is a real differentiator that most other managed hosting providers cannot match.
