Everything below is included and managed right in the control panel – at no extra cost.
Make sure your most important servers never end up on the same physical machine. If one machine fails, the rest of your servers keep running.
Move a public IP address between your servers in seconds. If a server needs replacing, the address points to the new one right away – your visitors won't notice a thing.
Take a snapshot before risky changes and schedule automatic backups. Restore to the same server – or to a new one.
Create reusable firewall rules from ready-made templates and apply them to several servers at once.
Follow CPU, memory, disk and network in real time right in the control panel – without installing anything on your server.
Our AI assistant can manage DNS, backups, firewall rules and much more for you – on the web or via Telegram. Try the assistant.
Some of the things you can do with our control panel:
“Your control panel is now very sophisticated, it's truly impressive. And it still feels fast. I rarely see that sophisticated control panels outside of hyperscalers.”Philippe · VPSBenchmarks
The whole platform is our own – our own software, our own servers, our own hardware in Stockholm. That's why we can build the features you actually need, without waiting for anyone else.
Your AI gets a direct line to HostUp through our native MCP server – hosted by us, nothing to install. Then it's enough to write what you want: a new server billed by the hour, your SSH key in place and the domain pointed right – done without a single click in the panel. Want to upgrade an existing VPS? Just say so.
Every virtual server runs on NVMe storage in our Stockholm data center, with your data mirrored across three separate servers. Launch a website, an application, or your entire production environment – your server is up in under a minute, at a predictable monthly price with no hidden fees.
Our VPS hosting includes all the features you want.
Included scrubbing protection against network-layer (L3/L4) and SYN-flood attacks. Activate the scrubber yourself directly in the client area. Need protection against heavier attacks? Contact us.
Get the ability to send your emails via MailChannel's Smart Host so you won't have to worry about whether your email will reach their destination.
Create Private VLANs for secure inter-VM communication, routed /48 IPv6 subnets, and much more — manage it all yourself directly in the control panel.
Gain full control over your VPS with KVM. Install any operating system and your own kernel. Run whatever you want on your VPS.
Access your VPS via secure https console in the browser or with VNC, even if you forget your password or accidentally make network access unavailable.
Your VPS is powered by high-performance server processors. Experience unmatched speed and efficiency, perfect for demanding tasks and high-performance requirements.
We're here to help with whatever questions you may have.
Industry-leading performance with 100% NVMe storage. We only use Enterprise-class storage devices with a high DWPD (1-3). This ensures that your VPS and its applications will be as fast and stable as possible.
The chart shows a comparison between us and other VPS providers like Vultr and DigitalOcean in read speed (higher is better), so you can be sure you made the right choice.

Discuss your specific requirements with us, and our team will create a customized VPS solution tailored to your needs. Experience VPS hosting that adapts to your requirements, not the other way around.
Discuss Your Custom PlanAll our VPS servers are located in Sweden and are owned by us at Hostup AB. We have several years of experience in what contributes to the best setup so that you don't have to worry about it.
We have the answers to all the questions you might have.
Yes, we have a powerful and modern API with over 300 endpoints. Our platform is built with an "API-first" approach, which means that EVERYTHING you can do in our interface can also be done via the API. In fact, our interface uses the exact same API - it's just an API Router.
It's super easy to get started: simply create an API key in the control panel and start using it right away. Want to create scripts that automatically expand storage when you reach a certain disk threshold? No problem. Want to automate VPS creation, manage backups, or configure networks programmatically? Everything is possible - there are no limitations at HostUp.
Documentation and examples are available at developer.hostup.se.
Yes. On top of the API we ship a native MCP server – a first among hosting providers in Sweden. Add HostUp as a connector in Claude, ChatGPT (developer mode), Cursor or any other MCP client, and your AI can spin up and manage servers, take backups, change DNS and much more – you just write what you want done.
Permissions follow your API key, which you create at cloud.hostup.se/api-management. Sensitive actions like purchases, reinstalls and restores are always confirmed by you via a link in your browser, and everything is logged on your account. Get started at developer.hostup.se.
At order time you choose between the following operating systems:
