Legal entity: registered name: Team Blue Internet Services IE LIMITED; trading name: Hosting Ireland; company number: 472520; company type: LTD — Private Company Limited by Shares; company status: Normal; parent brand: team.blue; name boundary: The general terms, current footer and CRO record identify Team Blue Internet Services IE Limited. The VPS definitions instead spell the operator Team Blue Internet Services Ireland Limited; the official company record resolves the registered word as IE, so the longer spelling is preserved only as a source inconsistency.

Products
name: Self-managed Irish VPS; category: currently_orderable_customer_administered_virtual_private_server; availability: Four self-managed products have current Buy Now links. VPS Plan 1 was exercised anonymously through hostname and nameserver configuration, operating-system and add-on selection, price recalculation, cart and the public new-customer/payment checkout.; current public matrix: tier: VPS Option 1 / VPS Plan 1; product id: 213; vcpu: 2; memory gib: 4; storage gb: 50; transfer: UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH; monthly net eur: 24.95; monthly gross eur: 30.69; annual net eur: 274.45, tier: VPS Option 2; product id: 214; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 8; storage gb: 100; transfer: UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH; monthly net eur: 49.95; monthly gross eur calculated: 61.44; annual net eur: 549.45, tier: VPS Option 3; product id: 215; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 12; storage gb: 150; transfer: UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH; monthly net eur: 74.95; monthly gross eur calculated: 92.19; annual net eur: 824.45, tier: VPS Option 4; product id: 216; vcpu: 10; memory gib: 20; storage gb: 200; transfer: UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH; monthly net eur: 105.95; monthly gross eur calculated: 130.32; annual net eur: 1165.45; storage and hardware: The current product describes high-performance NVMe SSD virtual machines, NVMe SSD SAN storage and recent Dell host hardware. It publishes no model, RAID layout, IOPS, durability or failure-domain guarantee.; commitment boundary: Each annual net amount equals eleven monthly payments and is labelled one month free. The benchmark retains the unconstrained monthly cycle; the calculated gross values for Options 2-4 apply the current 23% Irish VAT and were not independently taken through checkout.; transfer boundary: Every product card says unlimited bandwidth, but the VPS terms say transfer is free only within the purchased allowance and that discretionary excess fees may apply. No numerical allowance, measurement rule or overage tariff is published, so the benchmark preserves the unmetered marketing label with this conflict rather than inventing a cap., name: Managed VPS; category: adjacent_non_benchmark_virtual_private_server; scope boundary: Managed plans are current and include cPanel Solo, CloudLinux Pro Solo, Imunify360, monitoring, management and DNS management. The binding definition says managed-VPS customers do not have administrative access, so these plans fail this directory's administrator-controlled-VM requirement and are not benchmark offers., name: Adjacent hosting services; category: non_benchmark_catalog; scope boundary: Shared, WordPress, reseller and enterprise hosting, dedicated servers, domains, email, backup, server management and website products are provider context but are outside the VPS benchmark.
Operating systems
current live selector: AlmaLinux 8, AlmaLinux 9, Debian, Ubuntu, Windows Server 2025 — EUR 29.49 net; marketing boundary: The brochure also names CloudLinux, but the live base OS selector does not. CloudLinux is instead a separately priced enhancement: Pro Solo at EUR 7.45, Pro Admin at EUR 12.95 or Shared at EUR 18.95 net.; version boundary: Debian and Ubuntu versions, image dates, architecture and update cadence are not shown. Windows licence scope and whether its displayed surcharge recurs at the selected billing cycle are not separately explained.; root access: Self-managed terms explicitly provide root/highest-level administrative access; checkout requires a hostname and internally generates a root credential without exposing that credential in this directory.; reinstall or rebuild: not_found; custom iso or image: not_found; ssh key: The live configurator accepts an optional SSH public key, without publishing supported key types or whether password login can be disabled.
Virtualization
guest boundary: The binding terms define self-managed VPS as providing Administrative Access, itself defined as root or the highest-permission account. The product says the customer can install custom software, configure security settings and choose an OS/control panel, establishing an administrator-controlled virtual guest rather than shared web hosting.; underlying hypervisor: not_found; no current product, checkout, terms or public support material reviewed identifies KVM, QEMU, Xen, Hyper-V, VMware, OpenVZ, LXC or another backend; control plane: The product advertises direct access, server monitoring and resource-usage statistics. It does not document customer power actions, rebuild/reinstall, snapshots, resize mechanics or a public infrastructure API.; deployment: not_found for a measurable provisioning commitment or inventory status; storage: The product says NVMe SSD SAN. The VPS terms additionally say encryption at rest is included by default, but disclose no encryption method, key ownership/rotation, replica count, RAID, durability or IOPS.; backup: Backups are not included unless expressly indicated. The live configurator offers optional Acronis capacity from 50 GB at EUR 30.45 net, but does not disclose schedule, retention, restore workflow, consistency guarantees or egress.; public infrastructure api: not_found; snapshot clone or export: not_found
CPU isolation
benchmark classification: guaranteed; basis: Current product copy contrasts shared hosting with VPS and promises dedicated resources including CPU power, RAM and disk. It does not identify an exclusive physical core, thread or host, while the terms call the virtual service—not a physical core—exclusive to the customer. The benchmark therefore treats the vCPU entitlement as guaranteed rather than physical/dedicated CPU.; host cpu model: not_found; physical host exclusivity: 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; sustained use policy: not_found

Features

  • App installation guest managed: Root/highest-level access and current product copy permit compatible custom software and security configuration inside the self-managed guest.; paid control and optimization options: The current Plan 1 configurator offers cPanel Solo/Admin/Pro/Plus/Premier, LiteSpeed tiers, CloudLinux tiers and Imunify tiers as paid add-ons. No native general-purpose one-click application marketplace is documented.; management boundary: Standard support is included and Enhanced Support is EUR 41.95 net in checkout, but neither option's exact system-administration task list, labor quota or application-support matrix is published.
    ✓
  • Templates & images operating system images: The live Plan 1 selector exposes AlmaLinux 8/9, Debian, Ubuntu and paid Windows Server 2025; exact labels and limits are recorded under operating systems.; initial ssh key: An SSH public key can be supplied during initial configuration.; snapshot clone export: not_found; custom image or iso: not_found; reinstall or rebuild: not_found
    ✓
  • Network orchestration placement: The binding VPS terms identify one premises in Citywest, Dublin. The self-managed checkout has no location selector and no plan-to-room, rack or host mapping.; transfer: Cards say unlimited bandwidth; terms instead reference an unspecified purchased allowance and discretionary excess fees measured over thirty days. Port rate, accounting direction, fair-use threshold and overage tariff are not published.; addressing: The terms discuss assigned IP addresses and reserve the right to change them with reasonable notice. IPv4/IPv6 quantities, extra-IP pricing, rDNS, subnet and justification rules are not published for the plan.; configuration: Checkout requests hostname plus NS1/NS2 prefixes and accepts an optional SSH key. Marketing mentions server monitoring and resource-usage statistics but does not document power, rebuild, resize or console operations.; private network vlan floating ip bgp: not_found; public infrastructure api: not_found
    ✓
  • Firewall guest managed: The product explicitly permits the customer to customise sophisticated firewall configurations, and self-managed terms assign firewall and security responsibility to the customer.; paid security: Imunify is a paid checkout option with single-account through unlimited-account tiers; the provider does not explain whether this is a network control or guest software beyond the product labels.; provider ddos boundary: The product claims DDoS protection without capacity, protocol coverage, controls or response target. The binding terms exclude DDoS from the 99.9% infrastructure SLA and permit removal of an attacked server without notice or compensation.; native security groups or network acl: not_found
    ✓
  • Load balancer
    —
  • DNS management managed vps entitlement: The current managed-VPS product lists DNS Management.; self managed boundary: Managed VPS is outside the benchmark because its customer has no administrative access. The self-managed configurator asks for NS1/NS2 prefixes but does not show a DNS-zone control or DNS service entitlement; record types, DNSSEC, API, nameserver topology, limits and SLA are not published.

Support

base scope: Self-managed customers control setup, configuration and daily operation and are responsible for the OS, software updates, security patches, backups, firewall and antivirus. Hardware and underlying network maintenance remain with Hosting Ireland. Standard Support is included; checkout offers Enhanced Support for EUR 41.95 net, while the brochure calls the optional service Advanced Support. Exact task boundaries and labor limits are not published.; availability sla: Binding terms guarantee 99.9% monthly network availability and 99.9% monthly VPS-infrastructure availability. Network reachability to any specific internet point is excluded; infrastructure exclusions include scheduled/emergency maintenance, DDoS and force majeure. A valid claim earns one day of service credit per 60 minutes of downtime, capped at 100% of the affected server's monthly bill.; claim process: The customer must submit a ticket with outage evidence, start and end times within fifteen days. Downtime begins when the report is logged, and the guarantee is void while payments are overdue. Uptime uses a rolling monthly basis.; ordering and payment: The anonymous Plan 1 path reached the public new-customer checkout at EUR 24.95 net plus EUR 5.74 Irish VAT, EUR 30.69 total due and recurring monthly, with no setup-fee line. Current gateways are credit/debit card through GlobalPayments, PayPal and bank payment.; renewal cancellation refund: Monthly service is paid in advance and card payment authorizes recurring billing until written notice or termination. Cancellation must reach billing at least two working days before the invoice due date or renewal is charged; early termination during the initial period may incur the unpaid initial subscription balance. Prepaid servers are non-refundable and the general 30-day guarantee excludes Cloud VPS.; backup and security: Backups are customer responsibility unless separately purchased. Encryption at rest is included by default but is not a complete security/compliance guarantee; self-managed customers retain credential, access-control, patch and guest-security responsibility.; feedback boundary: HostAdvice's only two user reviews are brand-level, both originally published in 2015 and not VPS-specific. Their 4.9/5 aggregate is retained as a transparent tiny historical sample, not treated as a current reputation estimate.

What customers say

4.90 (2) HostAdvice: 4.9/5 · 2
Recurring praise
  • + One 2015 reviewer valued the Irish location and reported reliable site operation without material problems.
  • + The other 2015 reviewer praised price, service and technical support and reported being happy after support explained cloud hosting.
Recurring complaints
  • − One reviewer found cloud hosting initially difficult to understand before support explained it.
  • − Both reviews are more than eleven years old, cover the overall hosting brand rather than a verified VPS SKU and form a two-person sample; the near-perfect aggregate has negligible current evidentiary weight.
