An anonymous Small monthly order reached a current cart at USD 7.50 recurring.; current matrix: 1-3 vCPU, 2-8 GiB RAM, 25-100 GB SSD, 4-16 TB transfer and USD 7.50-31.50 per month.; catalog conflict: The marketing cards say 20/40/80 GB, while the live order catalog and cart say 25/50/100 GB. The binding billing figures control the benchmarks.; guest control: Hostens calls every VPS family self-managed, grants full root/SSH, and exposes reboot, reinstall, hostname, console and other client-area controls., name: Windows VPS; category: currently_orderable_customer_administered_virtual_private_server; availability: Three live KVM billing rows offer monthly through triennial cycles.; current matrix: 2-3 vCPU, 2-8 GiB RAM, 40-100 GB SSD, 4-16 TB transfer and USD 21.25-77.50 per month.; catalog conflict: The marketing Large card says 80 GB, while the live billing category says 100 GB. The billing figure controls.; guest control: The current RDP guide supplies the Administrator username, and init scripts execute with Administrator rights.; licensing: Windows Server 2019, 2022 and 2025 are the current live choices; Plesk is optional and paid., name: Container VPS; category: currently_orderable_customer_administered_virtual_private_server; availability: Three live OpenVZ 7 billing rows offer monthly through triennial cycles.; current matrix: 1-3 vCPU, 2-8 GiB RAM, 25-100 GB SSD, 2-8 TB transfer and USD 6.00-21.50 per month.; guest control: OpenVZ containers receive root/SSH and can be rebooted independently, but their kernel cannot be replaced.; cpu boundary: Hostens guarantees CPU only for Linux and Windows KVM. OpenVZ CPU allocation remains not_found., name: Storage VPS; category: currently_orderable_customer_administered_virtual_private_server; availability: Three live OpenVZ 6 billing rows offer monthly through triennial cycles.; current matrix: One vCPU, 0.5-2 GiB RAM, 256-1024 GB storage, 2-8 TB transfer and USD 6.00-21.00 per month.; guest control: Storage containers receive root/SSH and client-area lifecycle controls.; backup boundary: Hostens explicitly offers no provider backup for Storage VPS., name: Professional Hosting / Managed VPS; category: managed_virtual_server_without_customer_guest_administrator_control; availability: Mini, Midi and Maxi are publicly sold as individual virtual servers with cPanel/WHM reseller privileges, CloudLinux and provider administration.; exclusion boundary: The provider handles server-side administration while the customer manages cPanel accounts and websites. The page does not grant root/Administrator and restricts the control panel to cPanel/WHM, so these plans are not administrator-controlled VPS benchmarks.; pricing boundary: The separate PRO20 introductory annual promotion is not used.

Operating systems

architecture: All provider templates are 64-bit.; linux vps: AlmaLinux 8, AlmaLinux 9, AlmaLinux 10, Rocky Linux 9, Rocky Linux 10, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 11, Debian 12, Debian 13; linux control panel templates: Plesk with CentOS 7, Webmin with CentOS 7, Webmin with AlmaLinux 9; windows vps: Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2025; windows control panel template: Plesk with Windows Server 2016, minimum 4 GiB RAM; container vps: AlmaLinux 8, AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 8, Rocky Linux 9, Debian 11, Debian 12, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04; container control panel templates: Plesk with CentOS 7, Webmin with CentOS 7, VestaCP with CentOS 7, Webmin with AlmaLinux 9; storage vps: AlmaLinux 8, AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 8, Rocky Linux 9, Debian 11, Debian 12, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04; licensing boundary: Templates marked with Plesk require an additional licence. Legacy CentOS 7 and Windows Server 2016 labels are preserved as published, without implying vendor support.; custom iso or image: not_applicable because Hostens explicitly says customer OS-image installation is unsupported

Virtualization

linux and windows: KVM; container: OpenVZ 7 with Linux kernel 3.10.0; storage: Linux, Windows and Container family specifications identify enterprise SSD RAID nodes. Storage VPS is described only as high-reliability 12 x 4 TB RAID, so its base media type is not_found. Current I/O caps are 75 MB/s and 300 IOPS for Linux, Windows and Container and 50 MB/s and 200 IOPS for Storage; an optional SSD component raises selected plans to 500 MB/s and 2000 IOPS.; guest control: Linux, Container and Storage expose root/SSH; Windows exposes Administrator/RDP. The client area supports reboot, provider-image install/reinstall, hostname, console and package change; init scripts run with root/Administrator rights.; backup: For USD 1 monthly, Hostens takes full VM/container images every day except Sunday and retains up to one week. Provider-operated restoration costs USD 29.99 per request. Storage VPS has no provider backup.; custom image: Hostens explicitly says customer OS images cannot be installed; customers select provider templates.; public infrastructure api or terraform: not_found

CPU isolation

kvm benchmark classification: dedicated; kvm basis: Hostens explicitly says it dedicates KVM CPU for full utilization at any time and separately says CPU is guaranteed only on Linux and Windows VPS. The directory uses dedicated because of that provider wording.; kvm sustained use boundary: The provider defines guaranteed CPU use as up to 90% of capacity, with bursts to 100% for no more than 59 minutes. Average node load is marketed at 30%, with overloaded guests migrated.; openvz benchmark classification: not_found; openvz basis: OpenVZ RAM, disk and network are explicitly dedicated, but CPU is excluded from the guarantee; the sources do not identify it as shared, guaranteed or dedicated.; physical core mapping: not_found; hardware thread or smt mapping: not_found; pinning or numa policy: not_found; numeric oversubscription ratio: not_found

Features

• App installation guest managed: Full root or Administrator control permits compatible software installation.; automation: Multiple Bash/SH, Perl or Python init scripts can run with root/Administrator rights after an OS install.; provider guides: The help centre supplies application and control-panel installation guides; documentation is not treated as a native general app marketplace.; native general application catalog: not_found
  ✓

The product page also lists IP transfer without publishing a complete semantic or eligibility policy.; addressing: Every VPS has public IPv4 and one native IPv6 address with a reserved /64 and additional IPv6 on request. Up to 31 extra IPv4 addresses cost USD 1.99 monthly each, with justification required above three.; dns: Hostname and PTR are customer-managed, and VPS customers can request activation of the Hostens DNS Manager.; port and transfer: The live catalog publishes a 100 Mbps port and fixed monthly transfer for every benchmark. Minimum throughput, direction accounting, excess price and automated overage behavior are not_found.; public compute api terraform private vlan floating ip security group: not_found
