The cheap-VPS playbook, and what we refuse to do.
Most of the "cheap" VPS offers on the internet are marketed as "cheap" because they have removed a few features from the basic offer and these additional features will cost you separately later on. This is how every BuyVPS offer is actually being structured.
The first-term trap
Oversold cores
Container in disguise
Spinning or shared disk
The bill after the bill
Non-ECC consumer RAM
Less money, the same measured hardware.
Just because something is cheap does not mean it is a good deal. The results presented are the median of 5 runs per test and all commands, data and results are publicly available so you can verify the results for yourself before spending a dime.
The cheapest plan that is still a real server.
Note that our entry level VPS isn't a trial version (limited time, stripped of features). The VPS runs on the same KVM platform as our other servers, it uses the same NVMe RAID10 storage that we use for the larger VPS and reseller plans as well as the servers, and it's on the same network as the rest of the servers. And, as always, you can scale up as needed at any time.
2-yr contracts are our standard, but we also offer them on a monthly basis as well as 1-yr. The price is the same in Amsterdam and New York.
What is in the box
- True KVM virtualisation
- Dedicated resource share
- NVMe RAID10 storage
- ECC memory
- Full root access
- IPv4 and IPv6 included
- All major Linux distros
- No setup fee
Pay less, and keep paying less.
We do not define 'cheap' as a low introductory price which never gets seen again. You choose how long you want to pay for a server and pay as you go in the best way for you.
The price never jumps
No first-term discount to reset later. No setup fee. No fee for IP addresses. Go month to month or pay lower monthly fee with 1 year or 2 year terms.
Your locked rate will remain fixed for as long as you hold the plan.
Cards, bank transfer and crypto
We offer payment by creditcard, SEPA direct debit, iDEAL, bank transfer as well as various cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. We keep our monthly fees at a low rate and do not bind you to a contract of extended duration.
Same low price, both sides of the Atlantic.
You can set up in Amsterdam to cover the EU area and connect to AMS-IX, or you can choose New York for faster speeds across North America. Either way, the equipment and cost will be the same.
Cheap VPS questions, answered.
How can a cheap VPS still be reliable?
By initially offering the new plans at very low prices, we are not using less powerful servers. We use exactly the same hardware as for the larger plans: AMD EPYC processors, NVMe RAID10 storage and ECC memory. The servers are running as KVM virtual machines, just like for the larger plans. Our cost efficiency is based on running a lean operation and offering transparent and honest pricing as opposed to selling fully used machines as is common with overselling.
What is the cheapest plan?
The entry Standard VPS starts at €16,80/mo on a 2-year term, with monthly and 1-year terms also available. See the plans page for the full list of sizes and current pricing.
Will the price go up when I renew?
We do not charge a renewal hike and there is no setup fee. The price that you sign up for is the price that you will pay for the life of the plan. In Amsterdam and New York it will cost you the same.
Is it managed or unmanaged?
Cheap plans are unmanaged by default, so you keep full root control. If you would rather not handle maintenance, you can add the optional Managed service on the service page for OS updates, monitoring and proactive support.
Can I pay with crypto or Bitcoin?
Payment with credit card, SEPA direct debit, iDEAL or bank transfer is possible as well as payment by cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. A short commitment period of one month and a low interest rate as well as very low fees apply.
Can I start small and upgrade later?
Yes. Start with an entry plan and then scale up to larger Standard, Dedicated-core or High-Memory plans as required. No rebuild of your server is required.
