On this page

You order through the cart and pay from your credit. You need an account with a confirmed email address.

1. Pick a plan

  1. Open the VPS page and choose the Intel Xeon series at the top.
  2. Pick a plan (Xeon XS, S, M or L) and click Add to cart.

If a plan is marked Sold out, there is no room right now. As soon as there is room again, you can order it.

2. Set it up in the cart

In the cart you set up each item:

FieldWhat you enter
Operating systemDebian 12, Debian 13, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, AlmaLinux 9 or Rocky Linux 9. Debian 13 is preselected.
Term1, 3, 6 or 12 months. The item's price changes accordingly.
Hostname (optional)The name the server identifies itself with, e.g. server01. Lower case, no spaces. If you leave it empty, we assign a name.

If an item is still missing something, Still missing: appears below it and the order cannot be placed.

3. Pay

On the right, the Summary shows the total and your credit.

  • If you are not signed in, it says Sign in and pay.
  • If your credit is not enough, you see how much is missing and the Top up credit button. Afterwards you continue in the cart. How topping up works: Topping up credit.
  • If everything is fine, click Place order with obligation to pay.

The amount is taken from your credit right away. Prices are final prices. No VAT is charged under § 19 UStG (small business exemption).

After ordering

Your server is listed under Services and first shows Setting up. This usually takes about a minute. Then it shows Running, and you find the root password under Credentials in the overview.

If something goes wrong:

  • The price has changed: the cart shows the new price. Check the order and place it again.
  • This plan is sold out right now: nothing was charged. Pick another plan or try again later.
  • Status Failed: the setup did not work. The money goes back to your credit. Open a ticket if you get stuck.
