Dedicated Server in the United Kingdom for virtualization

Dedicated Server Rental in the UK

XServer Cloud offers dedicated server rentals in the United Kingdom, one of Europe's most developed and strategically important IT hubs. Our London location provides excellent connectivity to both Europe and the US thanks to numerous transatlantic links and leading international providers.

Why Choose a Server in the UK

London is not only a global financial center but also a key hub for the global internet infrastructure. It is the convergence point of transatlantic lines connecting Europe and North America, as well as major European highways. This ensures that XServer Cloud's UK servers provide ultra-low latency between the US and Europe — the ideal solution for international projects, SaaS platforms, trading systems, and corporate services with distributed audiences.

The UK network is highly stable, secure, and scalable. The London location is ideal for companies that value business continuity, geographic diversity, and predictable performance under load.

About the ServerChoice Data Center

The XServer Cloud infrastructure in the UK is housed in one of ServerChoice's modern TIER III+ data centers. It is built to international standards of reliability, security, and energy efficiency, ensuring continuous equipment operation 24/7.

The site is equipped with a fully redundant power supply (2N UPS + diesel generators), duplicated cooling systems, and multiple independent optical channels. The data center is directly connected to leading telecom operators and traffic exchange nodes, including LINX (London Internet Exchange), ensuring maximum network throughput and stability.

Security is guaranteed by multi-level access control, a video surveillance system, and 24/7 engineers on duty. Power supply, microclimate, and network infrastructure parameters are monitored in real time.

London's Network Advantages

London is an ideal location for projects operating internationally. Key routes connecting Europe, North America, and Asia pass through here, making the UK location one of the most balanced in terms of speed and stability in the world.

Server placement in the UK ensures minimal latency between European and American users, as well as high service availability under all traffic scenarios. This is an excellent platform for financial systems, CDN networks, cloud services, and projects requiring predictable performance on both sides of the Atlantic.

• Strategically located between the US and Europe;
• Direct connection to LINX and transatlantic channels;
• TIER III+ data center with full redundancy;
• Minimal latency and high network throughput;
• And, importantly, service prices are identical to European locations.

By choosing a server in the UK, you receive world-class infrastructure with perfect connectivity between continents. XServer Cloud guarantees reliability, speed, and professional support – for those who value stability and international scale.

Dedicated Servers for Virtualization

Modern IT infrastructures are increasingly built on the principles of virtualization — where a single physical server becomes a platform for dozens or even hundreds of independent virtual machines. This approach allows for flexible resource allocation, fast project scaling, and cost savings on hardware without sacrificing performance.

What Is Virtualization

Virtualization is a technology that divides a server’s physical resources (CPU, RAM, disk space, network) among several isolated virtual machines. Each virtual machine (VM) has its own operating system, IP address, and configuration, functioning just like a separate physical server.

The core idea of virtualization is to maximize resource efficiency. A single powerful server can perform the work of dozens of independent systems, reducing maintenance, energy, and licensing costs.

Why Use Virtualization

Virtualization helps to solve multiple infrastructure challenges:

• optimization of infrastructure and reduction of physical hardware;
• fast deployment of new servers and services;
• flexible resource scaling for specific projects;
• isolation and security between different environments and clients;
• simplified backups and system migrations;
• efficient load distribution between nodes.

For these reasons, virtualization is used everywhere — from DevOps environments to cloud platforms and dynamic web projects.

However, managing a large number of virtual machines is not a simple task. The more VMs you have, the harder it becomes to maintain stability, security, and configuration consistency. If you prefer to focus on developing your projects instead of managing “virtual chaos”, use ready-made XServer Cloud solutions: you can rent virtual servers in bulk, get volume discounts, and completely eliminate the routine of infrastructure administration.

Which Servers Are Best for Virtualization

Virtualization demands strong CPU, memory, and storage performance. The best choice for such workloads are servers based on Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC processors with a high core count (16 or more) and support for hardware virtualization technologies — Intel VT-x / AMD-V.

The optimal configuration depends on the chosen hypervisor (VMware, Proxmox, Hyper-V, etc.) and the number of planned virtual machines. For stable operation, it’s recommended to reserve at least 20–30% of total resources to maintain performance under peak load.

As a general rule: 1 vCPU ≈ 1 physical core for CPU-intensive tasks, or 1 vCPU ≈ 0.5 physical core for low-activity environments. Memory should be allocated with a buffer — typically 2–8 GB per virtual machine, depending on the OS and workload type.

Which Projects Benefit from Virtualization

XServer Cloud servers for virtualization are ideal for:

• cloud services and IaaS platforms;
• development and testing environments (Dev / Stage / Prod);
• SaaS applications requiring client isolation;
• backup systems and disaster-recovery clusters;
• virtual desktop hosting (VDI) and container environments;
• virtual labs and educational projects.

Advantages of XServer Cloud Servers for Virtualization

• Support for VMware, KVM, Hyper-V, Xen, and other hypervisors;
• Intel Xeon / AMD EPYC CPUs with full hardware virtualization support;
• High-capacity SSD RAID arrays for reliable storage performance;
• Flexible scaling and resource configuration for any workload;
• Full control over your infrastructure with no hosting limitations;
• 24/7 support and performance optimization consultations.

If you want to build your own cloud platform or flexibly manage computing resources, a dedicated virtualization server from XServer Cloud will become the reliable core of your infrastructure — powerful, stable, and fully under your control.
