  We explore an extension of the Standard Model by an additional U (1) gauge
group and a complex scalar Higgs portal. As the scalar is charged under this
gauge factor this simple model supplies a vector dark matter candidate
satisfying the observed relic abundance and limits from direct dark matter
searches. An additional Higgs-like state, that may be heavier or lighter than
the observed Higgs, is present and satisfies LEP and LHC bounds whilst allowing
for absolute stability of the electroweak vacuum in a range of parameter space.
