Products

name: Cloud / scalable KVM VPS; category: currently_orderable_self_managed_full_root_or_administrator_kvm_virtual_machine; location: Telia TIER3 data center, Tallinn, Estonia; configuration model: The live product starts with a EUR 2.80 monthly platform charge and lets the buyer add 1–24 vCPU at EUR 1.60 each, 1–64 GiB RAM at EUR 1.00 per GiB, and 50–800 GB NVMe in 50-GB increments at EUR 1.50 per increment. The minimum complete monthly configuration is therefore EUR 6.90 excluding VAT for 1 vCPU, 1 GiB and 50 GB.; published presets: tier: VPS 1; vcpu: 1; memory gib: 1; storage gb: 50; monthly eur: 6.9; annual effective monthly eur: 5.75, tier: VPS 2; vcpu: 2; memory gib: 4; storage gb: 150; monthly eur: 14.5; annual effective monthly eur: 12.08, tier: VPS 3; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 8; storage gb: 250; monthly eur: 24.7; annual effective monthly eur: 20.58, tier: VPS 4; vcpu: 6; memory gib: 12; storage gb: 400; monthly eur: 36.4; annual effective monthly eur: 30.33, tier: VPS 5; vcpu: 10; memory gib: 16; storage gb: 600; monthly eur: 52.8; annual effective monthly eur: 44, tier: VPS 6; vcpu: 12; memory gib: 24; storage gb: 800; monthly eur: 70; annual effective monthly eur: 58.33; orderability: The current anonymous store lists the product in stock and provides a working configure/cart flow without a sales conversation. CPU, memory, disk, network rate, IPv4 quantity, backups, image, control panel and billing cycle are selectable before account creation.; billing boundary: Monthly, quarterly and semiannual cycles use the full recurring rate. Annual, biennial and triennial cycles advertise a 17% reduction equivalent to two months free per year; those commitments are not used for the benchmark. The configurator displays no separate setup charge, but no explicit zero-setup promise is inferred.; tax boundary: Public prices are exclusive of VAT unless explicitly stated. Estonia's displayed VAT rate is 24%; eligible EU business customers with a valid VAT number can receive reverse-charge treatment.; common inclusions: One IPv4, 50 GB NVMe minimum storage, three retained backups, an included up-to-200-Mbit/s network-rate choice, unmetered traffic subject to fair use, Linux/Windows/custom-ISO choices and full root or Administrator access. The product page separately markets a 1-Gbit/s unmetered uplink, which conflicts with the live cart's included rate and is not substituted into the benchmark.

Operating systems

live checkout images: Ubuntu 26.04, Ubuntu 24.04, Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 13.3, Debian 12.11, AlmaLinux 10.1, AlmaLinux 9.7, Windows 11 Evaluation, Windows Server 2022 Evaluation, Windows Server 2022 paid, Windows Server 2019 Evaluation, Windows Server 2019 paid, FreeBSD 15.0, Fedora Server 44, Fedora Server 43, Artix Base, Archlinux, Mikrotik CHR, Zabbix Appliance 7.4, NixOS 26.05, Custom ISO; windows requirements: Windows 11 and Windows Server choices require at least 2 vCPU and 4 GiB RAM. Paid Windows Server 2019 or 2022 adds EUR 35 per month; evaluation images do not establish a production license.; control panel options: None is selectable. Paid monthly choices are ISPmanager Lite EUR 6.90, Pro EUR 12.90 and Host EUR 19.90; Plesk Web Admin EUR 13, Web Pro EUR 20 and Web Host EUR 57.; custom iso: Selectable in the current anonymous configurator.; catalog quality boundary: Several current labels are future-dated relative to the verification snapshot, including Ubuntu 26.04, Fedora 44 and NixOS 26.05. They are recorded exactly as served by the provider, not endorsed as correctly labeled, released or supported.

Virtualization

hypervisor: KVM hardware virtualization; guest control: Linux instances provide root/SSH; Windows instances provide Administrator/RDP. The customer has full control of the virtual instance while the physical server remains shared with other customers.; deployment: The VPS marketing site advertises activation in one to five minutes, while the binding delivery policy says VPS delivery is typically within 24 hours after payment and sends credentials and the IP address by email. Neither statement is treated as a guaranteed maximum.; resource scaling: CPU, RAM, NVMe capacity and several add-ons are selectable in the live configurator, and current product copy says resources can subsequently be scaled through the client portal.; storage: Current product and store copy identify NVMe storage; RAID topology, durability guarantee and host-local versus distributed topology are not published.; backup boundary: Three backups are included; seven and fourteen retained backups cost EUR 7 and EUR 12 per month. The hosting agreement calls the three-day VPS copy a courtesy/disaster-recovery measure, does not guarantee it and requires independent customer backups.; public api: not_found; unverified controls: No current public evidence was found for console type, power actions, reinstall after deployment, snapshot/clone semantics or reverse-DNS self-service; these are not inferred from the existence of a client portal.

CPU isolation

benchmark classification: guaranteed; basis: Current marketing promises dedicated or guaranteed resources, no noisy neighbors and steady performance. The current Hosting Services Agreement nevertheless states that a VPS shares a physical server with other customers and permits intervention when CPU, memory or bandwidth use affects others. In the absence of an exclusive physical-core, SMT or pinning definition, the benchmark is guaranteed rather than dedicated.; advertised host frequency: 4.2–5.7 GHz; no processor vendor, model, generation, all-core behavior or per-tier assignment is published; physical host exclusivity: not_applicable_to_virtual_server; the physical host is explicitly shared; physical core mapping: not_found; hardware thread or smt mapping: not_found; pinning or numa policy: not_found; numeric oversubscription ratio: not_found; sustained use policy: Traffic is unmetered under fair use, and excessive CPU, memory or bandwidth use that harms other customers can lead to limits or suspension. No numeric CPU threshold, burst duration, throttle rate or contention ratio is published.

Features

• App installation guest managed: Full root/Administrator access permits arbitrary compatible application installation. Current first-party examples include Docker, Docker Compose, K3s, Jenkins, GitLab CI runners and GitHub Actions agents.; native one click application marketplace: not_found; management boundary: These are customer-installed workloads inside the guest, not provider-managed application services or native third-party integrations.
  ✓
• Templates & images provider images: The anonymous configurator exposes exact Linux, BSD, Windows, router, monitoring and appliance choices.; custom iso: Selectable.; backup choices: Three backups included; optional seven or fourteen. The agreement limits the included VPS retention to three days and disclaims a guarantee.; snapshot or clone: not_found; post provision reinstall or rescue: not_found
  ✓
• Network orchestration ipv4: One dedicated IPv4 is included. The current cart permits up to eight total: two cost EUR 4/month, three EUR 8, four EUR 15, five EUR 25, six EUR 35, seven EUR 45 and eight EUR 60.; ipv6: Available on request according to the current local FAQ; no anonymous subnet size, price, routing policy or selector is published.; network rate: The live cart's included choice is Up to 200 Mbps; Up to 500 Mbps adds EUR 49.90/month. Product marketing separately promises a 1-Gbit/s unmetered uplink, so the benchmark retains the lower cart-bound inclusion and records the conflict.; transfer: Unmetered subject to fair use and intervention for exceptional usage affecting other customers. No traffic-direction accounting, numerical fair-use threshold or throttle schedule is published.; missing controls: No public private network/VPC, VLAN, floating IP, BGP/BYOIP, native network ACL, reverse-DNS self-service or infrastructure API was verified.
  ✓
• Firewall guest managed: Full root permits an in-guest firewall, and the Hosting Services Agreement explicitly makes the customer responsible for OS security and firewall configuration.; native customer firewall or security groups: not_found; ddos protection: Current first-party copy advertises basic Layer 3/Layer 4 DDoS protection for servers, but publishes no included threshold, scrubbing design, customer control, response commitment or plan-specific credit.
  ✓
• Load balancer
  —
• DNS management separate service: Core Hosting's current Estonian site offers free domain DNS management.; vps boundary: It is a separate domain/DNS service; no native VPS integration, private DNS, API, anycast topology, zone limit or service-level commitment is established.
