If you are working out where to host an MCP server, the Model Context Protocol makes the answer unusually clear. A local server talks over stdio and never leaves your laptop. A remote one is a long-lived HTTP service that streams, holds tokens, and needs an address that stays put. Three of those four things are decided by your host rather than by your code.
The specification describes a remote MCP server as an independent process handling multiple client connections, which is an ordinary long-lived daemon. That is the first thing shared hosting cannot give you, because PHP hosting starts a process per request and reaps whatever is left behind. A VPS gives you systemd, your own runtime and the root access to install it: Node, Python, Go, or .NET on Windows Server, whichever SDK your server is written against.
A reply is either a single JSON object or a Server-Sent Events stream scoped to that request, and a subscriptions/listen call returns a stream that stays open. The spec asks servers to send X-Accel-Buffering: no, because without it proxies "may accumulate messages before sending them to the client". It also suggests periodic keep-alive comments so an intermediary does not close a quiet connection. Both of those are reverse-proxy settings, and you can only change them when the reverse proxy is yours. This is the clearest single reason a remote MCP server belongs on a VPS.
A protected MCP server acts as an OAuth 2.1 resource server. It has to validate that an access token was issued for it specifically, and it must not accept or pass on any other token. It also has to check the Origin header on every connection to shut down DNS rebinding. Ours holds mailbox credentials. Root access, firewall rules you write yourself, a certificate you control and nobody else on the filesystem is the right shape for that job.
The server exposes a single endpoint, something like https://mcp.example.com/mcp, and that canonical URI is what an access token gets bound to. So it needs a public IP that does not move, a domain you control and a certificate you renew. One more thing worth knowing: the 2026-07-28 revision dropped resumable streams, so a dropped connection means the client starts the request again. Connection stability earns its keep.
Protocol details above come from the Model Context Protocol specification, revision 2026-07-28: Streamable HTTP transport and Authorization.
Less than you might think, and the protocol is not the reason. MCP is JSON-RPC over HTTP and costs almost nothing to speak. What you are sizing for is whatever your server does once a tool gets called.
Most published MCP servers are this shape. One spends its life waiting on somebody else’s HTTP response, so the cores sit idle and 1 to 2 GB of RAM covers it. The 1 Core plan self-hosts an MCP server of this kind without complaint.
Holding IMAP connections open, parsing messages, keeping a cache warm, or running several MCP servers behind one reverse proxy. This is the tier ours runs on.
Local vector search, document processing, or an embedding pipeline kept in memory. At this point you are sizing the workload rather than the protocol, and the ordinary rules for any busy Linux server apply.
Deploy in under 90 seconds on the Linux or Windows image you prefer, add snapshot backups if your server holds state worth keeping, and read our take on what AI agents actually need from a host.

Contact SalesAn unmanaged VPS (Virtual Private Server) gives you a dedicated slice of server hardware with full root access and complete control. You choose your operating system, install your own software, and manage the server yourself. It’s ideal for experienced developers and sysadmins who want maximum flexibility and control over their environment.
Yes. You can scale your CPU, RAM, and storage up or down as needed. Changes take effect within minutes with no downtime required. You only pay the difference from your upgrade date.
VPS plans support Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 LTS, Debian 11/12, AlmaLinux 8/9, Rocky Linux 8/9, and Windows Server 2022. You can also deploy pre-installed applications like WordPress and cPanel.
Yes. Every VPS includes full root/SSH access so you have complete control over your server configuration. VNC console access is also available for emergency management even if SSH is down.
Linux VPS servers are deployed in under 90 seconds. Windows VPS takes under 5 minutes. Once provisioned, you receive login credentials immediately and can start configuring your server straight away.
Yes. Our Snapshot Backup service automatically creates full backups of your virtual machines, apps and storage, and you set the automatic snapshot to take place on a daily, weekly or fortnightly basis. It is an optional add-on available on every VPS tier, and the price scales with the plan. Restore the whole server to a previous state whenever you need to.
Yes. Additional SSD disk is available in ten sizes from 50 GB to 2000 GB, added on top of the storage your plan already includes, at deployment or any time afterwards. It is the right move whenever you run out of space before you run out of cores, because it saves paying for a larger plan sized for a workload you do not have.
Yes, and it is one of the better things to put on one. A remote MCP server is a long-running HTTP service, so it needs a machine where you can keep your own process alive, which rules out shared hosting. Full root access lets you install whatever runtime your server is written in, run it under systemd, and configure your own reverse proxy. That last part matters more than it sounds: the Model Context Protocol streams replies over Server-Sent Events, and the spec asks servers to disable proxy buffering and send periodic keep-alives so an idle stream is not closed. Those are nginx settings, and on a VPS the nginx is yours.
Less than most people expect, because the protocol itself is JSON-RPC over HTTP and costs almost nothing to speak. You are really sizing whatever your server does when a tool gets called. A server that wraps someone else’s API spends its life waiting on I/O and is comfortable on 1 to 2 cores with 1 to 2 GB of RAM. Four cores suits a server doing real work of its own, such as holding IMAP connections open and parsing messages, or several servers behind one proxy. Six cores and up is for anything holding an index or a model in memory, like local vector search or document processing.
Yes. With full root access you can install any software your operating system supports. Docker, custom application stacks, development tools, databases, if your OS supports it, you can run it on your VPS.
Yes. Windows Server 2022 is available for VPS plans. It's ideal for running .NET applications, SQL Server, ASP.NET, and other Windows-only software. Windows licensing is included in the VPS price.
VPS servers are available in UK and US data centre locations. Both feature enterprise hardware, redundant power and cooling, and 24/7 on-site monitoring.

Very good support. Really Really impressed with the effort you’ve put into this, Mark. You’ve clearly gone the extra mile, and it shows. This web page has been a huge help — can’t imagine managing without it now. Thank you so much, truly appreciate it!appreciated! Thumbs up (y)
Dear Mark and 365ico.uk, I'll be forever in your debt for the wonderful service, my business came into existence because of your undivided support and care.
Wow! My website colouredglass.co.uk was running very slow with a previous hosting company, I signed up in minutes at 365i.co.uk Not only is my website super fast and loading in less than 3 seconds from 11 seconds, I am saving £23.81 per Month!!! - Keep up the good work Team365i
Absolutely brilliant. Great value hosting and very high quality, but the support you get from Mark is second to none, he will literally bend over backwards to help you, even at silly o'clock on weekends. You just won't get this level of support anywhere else. And he really knows his stuff.
We have recently migrated our website to 365i. With Marks help not only was the migration seamless and speedy but Mark fixed a lot of persistent issues that had been around for ages. Since then the support we have got from Mark is exemplary and I simply could not have wished for better. Mark provides the best support packages you could wish for and this is the best business decision we have made in years. Perfect!!!
Thanks Steve! Really appreciated!!
Mark has looked after us for 14 years and designed 3 websites in this time. I have been lucky to find them, they have been a great help to us over the years. Always available to answer questions or make changes to our website quickly. Our business wouldn't be where it is now without the support of 365i.
After speaking with a few web companies, I decided to go with Mark and I'm glad I did. The website is fast, professional and performs brilliantly. I was amazed when he showed me it had achieved 100 out of 100 on Google PageSpeed. What impressed me most though was the ongoing support. Mark genuinely cares about his clients and wants their business to succeed. Highly recommended.
Thanks Sean! I do work on every site as if it's my business website and I need it to be a roaring success. There is no other way to approach website design projects. Nothing less than 100% effort, inspiration and imagination to get the best results for you and all my clients. It's a labour of love, and I do love it!
Mark is extremely knowledgeable and a great person to speak and learn from - highly recommend his services!
Thanks Alex! :-)
