Built for your way of working.

Self-managed Linux compute, NVMe storage and root access. A clear foundation for the software you choose.

The platform is the starting point. What you make of it is yours.

Root access. Real responsibility.

Install your preferred application runtime, configure services and manage users with administrative access. With that control comes responsibility for operating-system patches, firewall rules, application security and recovery.

Resources you can reason about.

Every plan lists vCPU count, RAM, NVMe capacity and included monthly data transfer. A vCPU is a virtual CPU allocation, not a promise of an exclusive physical core. Actual application performance depends on the workload, software configuration and the underlying host.

Storage allocations describe the plan capacity; filesystem overhead and operating-system files reduce available working space. Transfer allowances are per service month. Ask about overage handling before ordering a bandwidth-heavy workload; unlisted overage charges are not added by this catalog.

A familiar Linux foundation.

Bring an application you can operate on Linux. Confirm your required distribution, version, kernel features and software compatibility before purchase. Choose an available distribution and version in the configurator. Compatible free control panels can be added to supported images.

Choose a location deliberately.

Keep your audience and data requirements in mind. A nearer server can reduce network distance, but latency also depends on routing and client connectivity. These are the currently configured locations:

  • Amsterdam 1, Netherlands
  • Amsterdam 2, Netherlands
  • Amsterdam 3, Netherlands
  • Nuremberg
  • Falkenstein
  • Helsinki
  • Singapore
  • Hillsboro, OR
  • Ashburn, VA

The boundary between us and you.

No surprises dressed up as features.

Public IPv4, public IPv6 and daily backups with 14-day retention are included when enabled in the configurator. Managed application support, a particular physical CPU model, a guaranteed port speed, commercial panel licenses and a numerical uptime SLA are not included unless expressly agreed.
