The family name does not establish exclusive physical cores., name: Cloud VPS Memory Optimized; category: currently_publicly_orderable_customer_administered_full_root_virtual_machine; current matrix: tier: mo0; product id: 216; vcpu: 2; memory gib: 16; storage gb: 50; storage type: NVMe; ordinary monthly net eur: 49.99, tier: mo1; product id: 217; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 32; storage gb: 100; storage type: NVMe; ordinary monthly net eur: 99.99, tier: mo2; product id: 218; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 64; storage gb: 150; storage type: NVMe; ordinary monthly net eur: 194.99, tier: mo3; product id: 219; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 128; storage gb: 250; storage type: NVMe; ordinary monthly net eur: 385.99, tier: mo4; product id: 220; vcpu: 32; memory gib: 256; storage gb: 500; storage type: NVMe; ordinary monthly net eur: 769.99, tier: mo5; product id: 221; vcpu: 64; memory gib: 512; storage gb: 1000; storage type: NVMe; ordinary monthly net eur: 1539.99, name: Cloud VPS Storage Optimized; category: currently_publicly_orderable_customer_administered_full_root_virtual_machine; current matrix: tier: so0; product id: 222; vcpu: 2; memory gib: 4; storage gb: 100; storage type: NVMe; ordinary monthly net eur: 24.99, tier: so1; product id: 223; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 8; storage gb: 250; storage type: NVMe; ordinary monthly net eur: 54.99, tier: so2; product id: 224; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 16; storage gb: 500; storage type: NVMe; ordinary monthly net eur: 109.99, tier: so3; product id: 225; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 32; storage gb: 1000; storage type: NVMe; ordinary monthly net eur: 219.99, tier: so4; product id: 226; vcpu: 32; memory gib: 64; storage gb: 2000; storage type: NVMe; ordinary monthly net eur: 439.99, tier: so5; product id: 227; vcpu: 64; memory gib: 128; storage gb: 4000; storage type: NVMe; ordinary monthly net eur: 879.99, name: Current public order and billing boundary; category: catalog_wide_boundary; orderability: Every current product card has a PID-specific Order action. A cookie-preserving anonymous PID 204 session exposed configuration, ordinary recurring totals, customer/order submission and card selection. No purchase was submitted. The benchmark selects Unmanaged at EUR 0, no paid control panel, no backup and no other add-on so that root access is included without changing the ordinary base price.; billing cycles: The checked go0 cart offers monthly, quarterly, semiannual, annual and biennial cycles. The ordinary totals are exact multiples of EUR 9.99; there is no term reduction in that checked plan.; promotion boundary: The visible 10%, 15% and 20% crossed-out amounts are first-billing-period new-order promotions. Renewals return to the ordinary matrix above, so every promotional amount is excluded.; tax boundary: The current matrix and cart prices exclude 21% Romanian VAT. Invoices are issued in RON using the BNR exchange rate plus 2%; the checked cart displayed 1 EUR = 5.3478 RON. The directory compares the stable published EUR net amount rather than a buyer-specific VAT total or transient RON conversion.; location boundary: The current cart exposes no region selector. Current server-location and data-center pages bind Hostico servers to its GTS Bucharest data center. Hostico's many localized domains are language/marketing surfaces and are not treated as additional compute countries., name: Optional go0 monthly components; category: non_benchmark_add_ons; management: Managed: 0; Unmanaged: 0; control panels eur monthly: ISPConfig: 0; None: 0; cPanel Solo: 19.99; cPanel Admin: 25.99; cPanel Pro: 35.99; cPanel Plus: 51.99; cPanel Premier: 66.99; Plesk Admin: 14.99; Plesk Pro: 25.99; Plesk Host: 49.99; automatic external backup eur monthly: 1.25; extra nvme without backup eur monthly: 100 gb: 10; 150 gb: 15; 250 gb: 25; 500 gb: 50; 1000 gb: 100; extra nvme with backup eur monthly: 100 gb: 15; 150 gb: 22.5; 250 gb: 37.5; 500 gb: 75; 1000 gb: 150; dedicated ipv4 total count eur monthly: 1: 0; 2: 2; 3: 4; 5: 8; 10: 18; other checked options: Softaculous EUR 2.50; Imunify360 EUR 10-25; CloudLinux EUR 10 or 20; LiteSpeed EUR 12.50-45 monthly.; scope boundary: These option prices came from the current go0 monthly cart. They are not assumed identical for every larger plan or billing cycle and none is included in the benchmarks., name: Legacy OpenVZ and stale Xen discovery lead; category: not_current_new_order_catalog; boundary: Hostico's KVM migration announcement says the former VPS range used OpenVZ and that legacy customers could remain on it. The current go/co/mo/so catalog is KVM. No current Hostico source supports the discovery note's Xen label, and the defunct VPSRomania.ro alias supplies no current evidence; Xen is therefore not attributed to any current offer.

Operating systems

current live cart images: Alma Linux 10, Alma Linux 9, Alma Linux 8, Ubuntu 24, Ubuntu 22, Ubuntu 20, CentOS Stream 10, CentOS Stream 9, ArchLinux, Rocky Linux 10, Rocky Linux 9, Rocky Linux 8, Debian 12, Debian 11; selector scope: Every listed image is a zero-price choice in the current go0 cart, and the 2025 launch article repeats the same current Cloud VPS list.; other linux: The launch article says another Linux distribution can be installed on request after the technical team checks compatibility. No exact additional image, fee, service time or approval guarantee is published.; windows or bsd: not_found; custom iso: not_found; reinstall: The generic VPS overview promises OS reinstall at any time, but the current panel mechanism and exact reinstall inventory are not documented.; license boundary: The Linux images are zero-price cart selections. Paid cPanel, Plesk, CloudLinux and other application licenses are separate options and are excluded from the benchmarks.

Virtualization

hypervisor: KVM; guest control: The publicly selectable Unmanaged configuration grants SSH as root and full control of the Linux guest. Managed VPS instead withholds root and gives only a non-privileged shell on request, so the benchmark explicitly uses Unmanaged.; control plane: The current product page markets a Hostico VPS panel for resource information, live monitoring, administration and customization, but does not enumerate power, rescue-console, snapshot, clone, export, ISO or host-migration operations.; reinstall: Hostico's VPS overview says the operating system can be reinstalled at any time. It does not document whether this is a self-service action in the current panel, its exact image selector, timing or data-destruction workflow.; provisioning time: The current VPS FAQ embedded on the product page says VPS activation normally takes 5-25 minutes after each payment is manually verified; extra information can extend this time.; storage: Every current plan advertises NVMe. No RAID level, replica count, disk model, IOPS, throughput, durability, failure domain or local-versus-network storage topology is published for the current catalog.; backup: The live go0 cart defaults to no backup and offers paid automatic external backup. A May 2026 FAQ confirms only VPS with the backup option activated receive automatic remote copies, retained in multiple instances for up to 14 days. The broader backup page describes at least daily runs, staff-mediated restore and provider disclaimers, but does not make backup part of the benchmark.; public compute api or infrastructure as code: not_found; snapshot clone export custom iso rescue or live migration: not_found

CPU isolation

classification: guaranteed; basis: The current Cloud VPS page says each VPS has guaranteed processor, RAM, storage and bandwidth resources isolated from other users, and the current matrix FAQ calls resources dedicated and allocated per package. No current source maps a vCPU to an exclusive physical core or hardware thread. Under the directory methodology this supports guaranteed virtual resources, not dedicated physical CPU.; terms boundary: The current terms separately define a shared-resource VPS class that may not run CPU at 100% for more than 30 minutes and a dedicated-resource VPS class whose resources may be used fully for longer. They do not map the current go/co/mo/so product IDs or any present cart option to either class. That unmapped policy is disclosed and does not override the current plan-level guaranteed-resource claim or establish physical-core exclusivity.; processor vendor family: AMD EPYC; exact model, generation and clock not_found; physical core mapping: not_found; hardware thread or smt mapping: not_found; pinning or numa policy: not_found; numeric oversubscription ratio: not_found; current plan sustained use or throttling rule: not_found

Features

• App installation guest managed: Unmanaged root access permits installation of compatible software inside the Linux guest.; optional installers and panels: The checked go0 cart offers ISPConfig or no panel for EUR 0, paid cPanel and Plesk variants, and Softaculous for EUR 2.50 monthly. Managed service includes provider OS/panel installation but withholds root.; native raw vm application marketplace: not_found; benchmark boundary: No paid panel, installer or managed service is added to the benchmark.
  ✓
• Templates & images provider images: The current cart exposes fourteen exact Linux image choices.; reinstall: The VPS overview says customers can reinstall the operating system at any time, without documenting the present control path or exact reinstall inventory.; custom iso customer template snapshot clone or export: not_found
  ✓
• Network orchestration included address: Every current VPS card says one IP is free; the go0 cart identifies one dedicated IP as included and allows two, three, five or ten total dedicated IPs for a recurring surcharge. The address version is not expressly labeled in the current cart, so IPv4 is not silently assumed in the normalized resource tuple.; transfer: A current FAQ says monthly traffic is unmetered on every hosting package. The terms define unmetered traffic as the amount that can traverse the service's assigned constant X Mb/s bandwidth during a month, but the current VPS catalog publishes no X, fair-use threshold, overage or post-threshold behavior.; ddos: Every current plan includes DDoS protection. An older current-accessible Hostico article identifies ArborNet Protector with automatic real-time detection and mitigation, but publishes no capacity, clean-traffic limit, response commitment or plan-specific credit.; upgrade or downgrade: Current VPS FAQ copy says a customer can request upgrade or downgrade; it does not establish self-service resize, timing, downtime or data-loss guarantees.; port speed: not_found; ipv6 private network vlan floating ip subnet bgp byoip nat reverse dns or customer compute api: not_found; website api boundary: The public site's JavaScript references an internal hostico.ro/api endpoint. No customer-facing compute API contract, authentication documentation or infrastructure operation is published, so it is not represented as a VPS API.
  ✓
• Firewall guest managed: Full root permits a customer-managed firewall inside the Linux guest.; provider firewall or security groups: not_found; ddos protection: DDoS protection is included on every current VPS card; the provider's ArborNet article describes automatic network- and application-layer attack identification and blocking but no numeric entitlement.
  ✓
• Load balancer
  —
• DNS management separate service: CloudDNS is a separately priced managed-DNS add-on at EUR 5.99 net per year, not a capability included in the VPS benchmark.; records and controls: The customer account can centrally add, edit and delete DNS records; current copy explicitly names A, CNAME, MX, TXT and SPF workflows.; presets: One-click Shopify, Google Workspace and Wix templates are included with CloudDNS.; nameservers: nsa.hostico.ro, nsb.hostico.ro, nsc.hostico.ro, nsd.hostico.ro; anycast dnssec api sla query limits or zone import export: not_found; vps panel boundary: Optional ISPConfig, cPanel and Plesk can manage guest-hosted DNS, but those panel functions are not substituted for the separately operated CloudDNS service.
