Pixl VPS Hosting
Managed WordPress servers we built for our own sites, then opened to clients. Tuned for WordPress and nothing else: faster, lighter and more secure than the hosting most sites arrive on.
We use our own hosting and we are very impatient people.
The stack
The fleet runs on Vultr High Frequency compute, managed through RunCloud. High-frequency CPUs and NVMe storage, an Nginx stack tuned for WordPress, server-side page caching, and a hardened perimeter: firewall, brute-force protection and WAF rules. We built it for our own sites first; client sites run on the same fleet, watched by the same monitoring.
Every plan includes
- Managed by Pixl. No control panel to learn; we drive.
- A private VPS with dedicated resources, not shared hosting.
- Nginx tuned for WordPress, with server-side page caching.
- NVMe storage on high-frequency compute.
- SSL on every site, renewed automatically.
- Firewall, brute-force protection and WAF rules.
- Transactional email for site mail: contact forms, receipts, notifications.
- SFTP or SSH access on request.

Two months free on annual payment. Backups from RM50 a month. There is also a Starter tier: RM600 a year for a single small site on a shared Pixl server.
What the plans leave out
- No mailboxes. Web servers make bad mail servers, so traditional email lives elsewhere; we recommend Google Workspace. Mail the site sends itself is covered.
- No domains. Register and own your domain yourself; we point it at the right place.
- No control panel. Managed means managed: backups, firewalls and SSL are handled for you.
Questions we actually get
The specs look modest next to a commodity VPS.
They are high-frequency cores, not commodity ones. A fast core that does not wait on disk beats twice as many slow ones, which is why the fleet runs on high-frequency compute and NVMe. Managed also means the stack is tuned, patched and watched; you are not renting raw capacity.
What counts as a website?
Each WordPress install: staging sites, archived copies and subdomain installs all count individually. The limits are what keep every site on the plan fast.
Can I host other applications?
No. The stack is WordPress-shaped end to end, and that is where the speed comes from.
Can I squeeze more sites onto a plan?
You can overload a server if you accept the trade-off, but the honest answer is to upgrade a tier or add a second server.
Hosting is sold to clients we build for or care for, packaged with the work. If we already run your site, you are probably on it. If not, start a conversation.
