name: VPS Private Server; category: currently_orderable_customer_administered_virtual_private_server; availability: The public WHMCS store exposes three direct order products. An anonymous Startup session accepted an existing domain, reached configuration, exposed hostname and root-password fields plus location and image selectors, recalculated the order, added it to the cart and reached the public Irish-default registration and Stripe card form.; current monthly matrix: tier: Startup VPS; product id: 1; vcpu: 1; memory gib: 1; storage gb: 20; transfer: unlimited; port: 1GBps; monthly eur: 15, tier: Professional VPS; product id: 4; vcpu: 2; memory gib: 2; storage gb: 50; transfer: unlimited; port: 1GBps; monthly eur: 35, tier: Business VPS; product id: 6; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 6; storage gb: 150; transfer: unlimited; port: 1GBps; monthly eur: 65; commitment boundary: The Startup selector shows EUR 58.20 quarterly, EUR 85.50 semi-annually and EUR 165.60 annually while nearby copy promises 3%, 5% and 8% discounts. The quarterly amount is incompatible with both the EUR 15 monthly rate and the stated 3% discount, so no commitment price is benchmarked.; location boundary: The live location selector is binding for current placement: Miami, London, Frankfurt, Silicon Valley, New York City, Chicago, Dallas, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Singapore, Toronto, Tokyo, Sydney, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Seattle. The directory retains only eligible EU/Americas locations. The selector contains no Ireland option despite the brand, page title and Irish Cloud marketing.; quality boundary: The checkout is operational but materially stale: the default image is Ubuntu 15.04 and the newest Linux labels are predominantly 2020-2021 releases. Public legal, terms, privacy, about and contact content links reviewed at the site root return 404, the checkout has no visible terms acceptance, and neither a legal operator nor business address is disclosed., name: Adjacent hosting services; category: non_benchmark_catalog; scope boundary: Shared hosting, domains and dedicated servers are outside the benchmark. Homepage claims such as free cPanel are not assigned to VPS when the VPS checkout does not include them.

No supported-release policy, patch cadence, image date, licence entitlement or security-maintenance guarantee is published.; root access: The live configuration explicitly asks the purchaser to set the root password.; reinstall: The brochure says scaling does not require reinstall, but a customer-triggered rebuild workflow is not documented.; custom iso: not_found

Virtualization

guest boundary: The live order requires a hostname and root password and permits an operating-system template and physical location. The FAQ calls it a private environment with a dedicated IP and guaranteed resources, establishing an administrator-controlled virtual guest rather than shared web hosting.; underlying hypervisor: not_found; no current source identifies KVM, QEMU, Xen, Hyper-V, VMware, OpenVZ, LXC or another backend; control plane: The brochure claims CPU, RAM, storage and extra-IP scaling through a control panel without reinstalling and advertises quick VNC access. It does not identify the platform, exact actions or a public API.; deployment: Marketing promises instant deployment on qualified servers and super-fast provisioning for special configurations, without a measurable commitment, inventory status or remedy.; storage: The product/homepage say SSD while a technical table also says SAN storage. Drive model, RAID, replica count, durability, IOPS and failure-domain placement are not published.; backup: The FAQ advertises Premium Daily Backup for EUR 12 extra, but Startup checkout has no backup selector. Retention, schedule, consistency, restore workflow and quota are not disclosed.; public infrastructure api: not_found

CPU isolation

benchmark classification: guaranteed; basis: The product-specific FAQ explicitly promises guaranteed resources. It does not call vCPU dedicated, exclusive or physical; dedicated modifies the IP address, not CPU. The benchmark therefore uses guaranteed rather than dedicated allocation.; host cpu: 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 access permits compatible software installation inside the guest.; ready images: The brochure markets Plesk, cPanel, WordPress, Drupal, Magento and Vesta images. Checkout directly verifies only WordPress-on-CentOS plus older Plesk/cPanel CentOS templates; the other examples are not in the reviewed Startup order.; management boundary: No managed-service task list, included labor or application-support matrix is published.
  ✓
• Templates & images operating system images: The live selector has 64 Linux, Windows, appliance and control-panel labels recorded under operating systems; ten Windows/CoreOS/Forex labels add EUR 20 while the rest display no surcharge.; snapshot clone export: not_found; custom image or iso: not_found; lifecycle boundary: Most images are obsolete, and no image freshness commitment is published.
  ✓
• Network orchestration placement: The live order exposes sixteen city/metro choices; eleven are in this directory's EU/Americas universe.; transfer and port: Every current card says unlimited transfer and 1GBps port speed. Accounting, fair use, throttling and whether the label means 1 Gbit/s are not defined.; addressing: The FAQ says a dedicated IP is included and the brochure says extra IPs can be added through the panel. IPv4/IPv6 quantity, justification, price, rDNS and subnet rules are not published.; private network and console: A technical table markets Private Network and Quick VNC without topology, isolation, pricing, authentication or location-scope details.; scaling: Marketing says CPU, RAM, storage and IPs can be added without reinstall; exact increments, pricing, downtime and scale-down rules are not published.; provider load distribution boundary: The homepage describes internal AI workload distribution. It is not a customer-configurable L4/L7 load-balancer product.; public infrastructure api: not_found
  ✓
• Firewall guest managed: Root access permits an in-guest firewall.; provider ddos claim: The technical table says DDoS mitigation but gives no capacity, mode, controls, exclusions or SLA.; provider firewall or security groups: not_found
  ✓
• Load balancer
  —
• DNS management general service: The homepage markets a free DNS Manager alongside cPanel.; vps entitlement boundary: That claim links to shared hosting; Startup checkout does not show DNS or cPanel included. Record types, DNSSEC, API, topology, limits and SLA are not published.
