In the market for a UKDedicated alternative?
UKDedicated has sold dedicated servers out of a Reading datacentre since 2002 and, like us, runs them fully managed with 24/7 UK support. The differences are in how you buy, the control panels on offer and who owns the business.
Introducing Prostack
Prostack is a UK-based managed hosting partner for digital agencies and e-commerce businesses. Our dedicated servers are fully managed as standard. We set them up, patch them, monitor them around the clock and back them up, and you pick the control panel: Prostack Cito, cPanel or Windows.

What sets Prostack apart?
You can see what you’re buying
- ✓ Our dedicated server plans, specs and prices are published, and you can order online or talk to us first. UKDedicated’s configurations go through an enquiry form, and its site doesn’t say whether prices include VAT, or what the setup fees and minimum term are.
- ✓ We publish our support averages too: a 6-minute ticket response and an 11-minute resolution, around the clock.
- ✓ Our cloud servers come with a 30-day free trial if you’d like to see how we work first, and we’re happy to talk about trialling dedicated hardware.
Choose the control panel that suits your sites
- ✓ Every Prostack dedicated server comes with the panel you choose: Prostack Cito, cPanel or Windows.
- ✓ Prostack Cito is our own control panel, built for agencies. It runs WordPress, Laravel, Magento, Craft CMS and Node.js sites side by side, with staging clones, preview URLs and a built-in MCP server for Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT.
- ✓ cPanel and Windows are there for the sites that need them, so one host can cover your whole portfolio.
Independent, with more than one datacentre
- ✓ UKDedicated is part of team.blue, a European hosting group. Prostack has no parent company, so every decision is made in the interest of our customers.
- ✓ We run two UK datacentres and one in Atlanta, built to the same standards, so you can split workloads across locations or serve US audiences locally. UKDedicated hosts from a single datacentre in Reading.
- ✓ We hold ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, which covers our environmental management as well as security and quality.
