name: is*hosting VPS; category: currently_publicly_configurable_fixed_monthly_kvm_virtual_machine_with_full_root_or_administrator_control; in scope country count: 25; in scope physical location count: 29; ordinary linux tiers: name: Lite; vcpu: 1; memory gib: 1; storage gb: 20, name: Start; vcpu: 2; memory gib: 2; storage gb: 30, name: Medium; vcpu: 3; memory gib: 4; storage gb: 40, name: Premium; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 8; storage gb: 50, name: Elite; vcpu: 6; memory gib: 16; storage gb: 80, name: Exclusive; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 32; storage gb: 100; ordinary price groups: standard usd monthly: 6.99, 11.99, 24.99, 39.99, 59.99, 89.99; premium argentina chile colombia mexico peru usd monthly: 11.99, 19.99, 35.99, 49.99, 69.99, 99.99; orderability: Every included country appears in the current public location selector and resolves to an ordinary one-month plan route. The executable configuration exposes plan, country or U.S. city, resources, operating system, network, backup, panel, administration, billing period and order action. No account was created, payment attempted or order submitted.; billing: Ordinary one-month fixed prices are benchmarked. The same live routes expose discounted 3-, 6- and 12-month totals; landing-page 'from' values use longer commitments. Those commitments, is*smart discounts and campaign banners are excluded.; tax boundary: The anonymous server state contains buyer-location/VAT calculation logic and a 24% default VAT rate. The visible plan total does not state tax inclusion or the applicable buyer rate, so offer tax treatment remains not_found.; administrator control: Linux routes expose SSH and VNC and the product promises full root; Windows exposes VNC and Administrator control. VNC assistance may require a billing ticket. Default administration is None.; platform resource boundary: The benchmark uses the current Linux plan tuples. Switching to Windows can change vCPU count even when the tier name and base price remain the same, so Linux resources are not projected onto Windows. Premium and larger tiers also expose macOS routes.; network: Plans publish one IPv4 in the current plan object and a 1 Gbps port at every audited included country except Finland, whose route says 10 Gbps. Lite/Start transfer is 2/3 TB for standard EU/Canada/U.S. groups and 1/2 TB in Brazil and the premium Latin-American group; Medium and larger say Unmetered. Committed rate, burst rules, metering direction, overage, fair-use threshold and regional IPv4 geolocation warranty are not_found.; address conflict: The exact plan object reports one IPv4, while landing copy also calls IPv4 optional. Additional IPv4 appears at USD 4 in the configuration. IPv6 is null in current plan state and is represented as not_found rather than explicit absence. Reverse DNS and BYOIP are not_found.; storage: Current included groups use either SSD or NVMe as cataloged. Exact media generation, RAID topology, IOPS, throughput, durability, encryption at rest and local-versus-network attachment are not_found.; backup: Weekly backup is selected at USD 0 on every audited Linux plan. Daily backup appears at USD 5 and Disabled at USD 0. Marketing describes four to five weekly restore points and 30 daily restore points; RPO, restore time, off-site topology, consistency, export and survival after cancellation are not_found.; panels and administration: Current selectors expose None; free own ispmanager v6; ispmanager Lite USD 6, Pro USD 12 and Host USD 20; DirectAdmin USD 10; free Hestia variants, aaPanel and FastPanel; and cPanel tiers at USD 29.99, 42.99, 54 and 60.99. Default administration is None. Standard support is separately described in the SLA; VIP administration appears as a paid option.; ddos boundary: A generic configuration surface advertises Personal layer-2-to-layer-4 DDoS protection at USD 150, but the exact Argentina Lite configuration exposes no DDoS selection and defaults to none. Capacity, regional availability, clean-traffic limit, attack coverage and bundled entitlement are not_found.; smtp boundary: Lite and Start routes warn that SMTP ports are blocked by default. Support may enable them after payment and may require KYC.; availability boundary: The Argentina marketing page contains 99.99% and 99.9% claims. The current SLA instead states at least 99.5% monthly network availability, measured using the provider's own metrics, with more than 20 continuous minutes among the unavailability conditions. No VPS-specific service-credit schedule resolving these claims was located.; refund boundary: The current policy gives eligible EU consumers a statutory 14-day withdrawal route, permits deduction for already supplied service, and makes goodwill refunds discretionary. Temporary outages do not automatically yield refunds. SSL, software licences and non-refundable third-party items are generally excluded; cancellation alone does not create a refund.; physical location boundary: The current data-center directory marks all 29 included rows for VPS and names a facility, speed-test endpoint and test IP. These are provider-controlled claims, not proof that WEBRAIN owns each facility, rack or underlying network. All out-of-scope countries remain excluded from this directory even when present in the global selector.; provider scale claim boundary: The About page claims service since 2005, 50,000+ customers, 50+ team members and 100,000+ hosted projects. It also markets a global data-center/country count that is not reconciled with the current 45-row live data-center list. These are unaudited provider claims rather than verified customer or facility totals.

Operating systems

current linux images: Ubuntu 20, Ubuntu 22, Ubuntu 24, Ubuntu 24 + Hermes, Ubuntu 24 + Clawdbot (OpenClaw), Debian 10, Debian 11, Debian 12, Debian 13, AlmaLinux 8, AlmaLinux 9, AlmaLinux 10, Rocky Linux 9, CentOS 9, CentOS 10, Alpine Linux 3, Alpine Linux 3 + Coolify, Alpine Linux 3 + N8N, Alpine Linux 3 + Hysteria 2, MikroTik RouterOS 7; current windows start and larger: Windows Server 2022 Standard — licence not included, USD 0, Windows Server 2022 Standard — provider licence, USD 20, Windows Server 2022 Standard, licence not included + MetaTrader 5 — USD 0, Windows Server 2019 Standard — licence not included, USD 0, Windows Server 2019 Standard — provider licence, USD 20, Windows Server 2016 Standard — licence not included, USD 0, Windows Server 2016 Standard — provider licence, USD 20, Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard — licence not included, USD 0, Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard — provider licence, USD 20; current windows premium additions: Windows 11 Pro — licence not included, USD 0, Windows 10 Pro — licence not included, USD 0; current macos premium and larger: macOS Sonoma, macOS Ventura, macOS Monterey; image boundary: Names and prices are transcribed from the current public selectors. They do not establish vendor support status, licence eligibility for buyer-supplied Windows images, Apple-hardware placement, patch date, architecture, regional parity or ongoing image maintenance.; resource boundary: Windows may expose fewer vCPU allocations than the same-named Linux tier. The Linux benchmark resources therefore do not describe Windows routes.

Virtualization

hypervisor: KVM; guest access: Full Linux root over SSH; VNC on Linux and Windows; Windows Administrator control; control plane: Public configurator plus authenticated customer portal for services, billing and support; automation: The provider publishes that an API can manage VPS and dedicated services, but no anonymous endpoint catalog, authentication guide, version, rate limit or example request was found.; console boundary: VNC is present in current plan state; exact browser-versus-ticket workflow, access security, clipboard, virtual media and regional parity are not_found.; api cli terraform cloud init rescue serial console snapshot clone custom image live migration nested virtualization host selection and hypervisor version: not_found

CPU isolation

classification: guaranteed; basis: The provider describes an isolated VPS with its allocated CPU, RAM and storage resources reserved for the virtual server. Current plans label the processor quantity as virtual CPU/core allocations and do not explicitly promise exclusive physical cores.; qualification: Guaranteed is used for assured virtual resources. Dedicated is not used because no plan maps vCPU to an exclusive physical core or SMT thread.; processor labels: Current routes expose location-specific Xeon clock labels, commonly 2.2, 2.6, 2.9 or 3.0 GHz. These labels are not a processor model, sustained-clock guarantee or proof of physical-core exclusivity.; physical core mapping smt mapping pinning numa policy contention ratio burst credit steal time limit and host model: not_found
