Platform

Products
name: General VPS Cloud plans; category: currently_orderable_customer_administered_virtual_private_server; availability: Four live products have direct order buttons. Plan 1 was exercised anonymously through a cookie-preserving configure session, price recalculation, cart and the public new-account/payment page.; current live store matrix excluding vat: tier: VPS Cloud Plan 1 — Galileo; product id: 172; cpu: Intel 1 Core; memory gib: 2; storage gb: 50; monthly eur: 15; one time setup eur: 25, tier: VPS Cloud Plan 2 — Hubble; product id: 173; cpu: Intel 2 Cores; memory gib: 4; storage gb: 75; monthly eur: 30; one time setup eur: 25, tier: VPS Cloud Plan 3 — Chandra; product id: 174; cpu: Intel 3 Cores; memory gib: 6; storage gb: 100; monthly eur: 65; one time setup eur: 25, tier: VPS Cloud Plan 4 — Kepler; product id: 175; cpu: Intel 4 Cores; memory gib: 4; storage gb: 120; monthly eur: 125; one time setup eur: 25; configurability: The live Galileo configurator can select 2-8 GiB memory, one to four Intel-labelled CPU cores, 50-100 GB disk, one to ten IPv4 addresses, unmanaged or VIP managed support, control-panel licences, Linux/FreeBSD/Windows/custom installation and optional monitoring/security products.; source conflict: The current marketing page instead gives Kepler 8 GiB and 125 GB. The live store/configurator values are retained for the order catalog and the marketing disagreement is not silently resolved., name: Preconfigured Windows, OpenVPN and Ubiquity CloudKey VPS bundles; category: currently_orderable_customer_administered_virtual_private_server_bundle; current live store matrix excluding vat: tier: Windows 11 VPS Bundle; product id: 176; cpu: Intel 4 Cores; memory gib: 4; storage gb: 50; monthly eur: 25; one time setup eur: 25, tier: Windows 10 VPS Bundle; product id: 177; cpu: Intel 4 Cores; memory gib: 4; storage gb: 50; monthly eur: 25; one time setup eur: 25, tier: OpenVPN; product id: 178; cpu: Intel 4 Cores; memory gib: 4; storage gb: 50; monthly eur: 25; one time setup eur: 25, tier: Ubiquity CloudKey; product id: 179; cpu: Intel 4 Cores; memory gib: 4; storage gb: 50; monthly eur: 25; one time setup eur: 25; scope boundary: The product page says each includes one IP. The live category's OS label repeats all four bundle names on every card, so the title, not that generic repeated label, defines the intended bundle., name: Adjacent services; category: non_benchmark_catalog; scope boundary: Shared/reseller hosting, dedicated servers, colocation, server management, domains, DNS-only hosting, email, monitoring and security add-ons are catalog context but are not VPS benchmark offers.
Operating systems
current live selector: AlmaLinux, CentOS, Fedora, Debian, Plesk for Linux — unlimited domains, Plesk for Windows — unlimited domains, FreeBSD Minimal Install, Ubuntu Minimal Install, Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2019, Custom Installation by email request; prices excluding vat: Base Linux, FreeBSD and custom-install request labels show no image surcharge; Windows 10/11 add EUR 5 monthly, Windows Server 2019 adds EUR 10 and either Plesk unlimited-domains selection adds EUR 38.; version boundary: Exact versions are not published except Windows 10, Windows 11 and Windows Server 2019. Licence ownership, activation, evaluation status and support lifecycle are not stated.; custom installation: Available by emailing support@webworld.ie; supported media, turnaround time and fee are not stated.; reinstall: not_found
Virtualization
guest boundary: The provider defines each VPS as its own secure/private partition with its own operating system. The live order requires a hostname and root password, offers self-managed support and permits Linux, FreeBSD, Windows or a custom installation. This establishes an administrator-controlled guest.; underlying hypervisor: not_found; no current source identifies KVM, QEMU, Xen, Hyper-V, VMware, OpenVZ or LXC for the VPS products; control plane: The provider does not document a customer power panel. Reboots are requested by email; an optional remote reboot box is EUR 25 net monthly.; deployment: The VPS FAQ estimates setup within 24 hours on a normal weekday. This is an operational estimate, not a contractual provisioning SLA.; storage: The order pages state disk capacity but not SSD/HDD medium, RAID level, IOPS, replica count, durability or failure-domain placement.; backup: Backups are explicitly not included in VPS price. The customer must maintain backups or consider a managed-server plan; the general terms also disclaim responsibility for customer data.; public infrastructure api: not_found; snapshot clone or export: not_found
CPU isolation
benchmark classification: not_found; basis: The store says 'Intel 1 Core' but does not say whether the core is shared, guaranteed, dedicated, a physical core or an SMT thread. The generic secure/private partition wording does not establish compute exclusivity.; host cpu model: not_found; physical host exclusivity: not_found; physical core mapping: not_found; hardware thread or smt mapping: not_found; pinning or numa policy: not_found; numeric oversubscription ratio: not_found; sustained use policy: The general terms reserve suspension when a site monopolizes bandwidth or processor resources, describing that as an extreme-circumstances policy. They publish no VPS-specific percentage, duration, warning process or throttling rule.

Features

  • App installation guest managed: Root credentials and the self-managed option permit arbitrary compatible guest software, subject to the terms.; provider options: VIP Managed Support is offered at EUR 125 net in the live configuration. DirectAdmin, cPanel/Plesk, monitoring, ESET and Imunify360 are optional paid products.; native one click marketplace: not_found
    ✓
  • Templates & images operating system choices: The exact current selector is recorded under operating systems, including Linux, FreeBSD, Windows and a custom installation by support request.; backup boundary: VPS backups are explicitly excluded from plan price, and no self-service snapshot, scheduled backup, clone, golden image or export control was found.; reinstall or rebuild: not_found; custom iso: A custom installation can be requested, but self-service ISO upload is not documented.
    ✓
  • Network orchestration addressing: One IPv4 address is included. The live selector offers two through ten addresses, adding EUR 2 net monthly for each address beyond the first; the FAQ separately says up to sixteen can be requested with justification.; ipv6: not_found; transfer and rate: No VPS transfer allowance, port rate, accounting direction or overage policy was found.; power control: Reboot is support-mediated at no charge. A remote reboot box is marketed at EUR 25 net monthly, without a published interface or delivery model.; facility network boundary: The colocation page markets carrier neutrality, redundant BGP connectivity, a 1-Gbit/s full-duplex fibre uplink, network-wide DDoS and PRTG reporting. It does not explicitly bind those entitlements or rates to the VPS SKU, so they are not assigned to the benchmark.; advanced network boundary: No VPS private network/VLAN, floating IP, customer BGP, BYOIP or public infrastructure API was found.
    ✓
  • Firewall guest managed: Root access permits an in-guest firewall.; paid security: The checkout offers Imunify360 Advanced Firewall for Plesk/cPanel at EUR 25 net monthly for 30 users or EUR 35 net monthly for unlimited users.; provider network boundary: The colocation page markets network-wide DDoS protection, but no filtering capacity, protected-protocol matrix, exclusions or VPS-specific entitlement is published.; native security groups: not_found
    ✓
  • Load balancer
    —
  • DNS management separate service: The current terms advertise a DNS-only hosting package with customer DNS-zone management for EUR 10 net per year.; vps entitlement boundary: DNS management is a separately priced domain service; it is not shown as included with the benchmark VPS. Record types, DNSSEC, API, nameserver topology, query limits and SLA are not published in the reviewed terms.
    ✓
  • Git integrations
    —
  • Container registry

Support

base scope: The cheapest configuration explicitly selects 'I will manage my own support'. VIP Managed Support adds EUR 125 net; the public pages do not define its task list, included labor, response targets or whether its displayed amount is monthly until checkout.; ordering and deployment: A current anonymous order can configure resources, add the product to the cart and reach new-account checkout with Stripe card, Revolut card, cryptocurrency or Revolut Pay. The FAQ estimates deployment within 24 hours on a normal weekday.; availability sla: not_found for a numerical VPS uptime commitment or automatic credit schedule; the colocation page generically mentions an uptime guarantee but gives no percentage/remedy and is not silently transferred to VPS; renewal cancellation refund: Accounts prepay and renew automatically. Portal cancellation can be requested before a service is paid and renewed; email cancellation from an authorized address requires at least fourteen days before the due date. Prepaid fees and setup fees are non-refundable unless Web World cancels the service, with no refund for a terms violation.; backup boundary: VPS plans exclude backups and the terms make customers responsible for data.; feedback boundary: The only accessible quantified independent profile is one WHTop review. It covers the Web World hosting brand, not specifically VPS, so its perfect score is extremely low-volume and should not be generalized.

What customers say

5.00 (1) WHTop: 5.0/5 · 1
Recurring praise
  • + The sole anonymous review, dated 26 November 2025 after more than three years hosted, reports reliable uptime, no material problems and quick assistance when needed.
Recurring complaints
  • − No negative narrative is available in the one-review sample. It covers the Web World hosting brand rather than VPS specifically, so the 5.0/5 score has negligible breadth and is not a robust reputation estimate.
