A VPS is your own virtual machine with root access. You install whatever you need on it: a Minecraft server, a bot, a website, a database, a VPN.
What you get
Our VPS series is called Intel Xeon and has four plans: Xeon XS, Xeon S, Xeon M and Xeon L. Cores, memory and disk space for each plan are on the VPS page, together with the price.
Every plan includes:
- root access via SSH
- one IPv4 and one IPv6 address
- a console in the browser (noVNC) for when SSH no longer works
- reinstalling with a fresh system as often as you like
- reverse DNS for your addresses, set by yourself
- usage and traffic in the dashboard
Operating systems
When you order and whenever you reinstall, you pick one of these images:
| System | Note |
|---|---|
| Debian 13 | preselected |
| Debian 12 | |
| Ubuntu 24.04 | |
| Ubuntu 22.04 | |
| AlmaLinux 9 | |
| Rocky Linux 9 |
Windows is not available in this series.
Where the server runs
The Xeon VPS run on our own servers at Firstcolo in Frankfurt am Main. Virtualisation is KVM: your server has its own kernel and fixed resources, so you can run Docker, your own firewall or WireGuard.
A term, not a subscription
You pay for a term of 1, 3, 6 or 12 months in advance from your credit. Nothing is debited automatically. If you want to keep using the server, you renew it yourself in the server's overview.
What happens at the end of the term
- Three days before the end you get a reminder by email.
- When the term ends, the server is stopped. It shows Expired and can no longer be started. If you renew now, you can start it again.
- Three days after the end we delete the server with all its data, credentials and its address.
