Serbia is outside this directory's EU27/Americas scope. South Africa is displayed but disabled, so it is not represented as currently orderable. The four in-scope country pages and live selector jointly establish current placement.; access: MAXKO's current services page explicitly promises root access and full server control for VPS. The benchmark uses the default Linux image so no separate Windows Administrator credential is inferred.; payment boundary: The live form supports multiple no-surcharge card, PayPal and other methods; Perfect Money adds 5%. The benchmark uses the displayed no-surcharge amount. Coupons and term discounts are excluded., name: Cumulus Flux Node; category: current_specialized_virtual_machine_with_separate_administrator_boundary; current order surface: The live Flux form exposes a one-vCPU, 8 GiB RAM, 220 GB NVMe configuration in the Netherlands for EUR 12/month including tax, with one IPv4, /64 IPv6, operating-system choices, KVM-labeled remote management and an optional EUR 5 node setup. Every other displayed location is disabled.; scope boundary: The page does not separately state root/Administrator credential delivery for the Cumulus product. Generic VPS root-access wording is not silently transferred to this masternode-branded service, so it is cataloged but not benchmarked as a qualifying administrator-controlled VM., name: Tor VPS positioning; category: marketing_profile_of_the_configurable_vps_family; scope boundary: The Tor page directs customers to deploy an ordinary VPS as a relay or bridge and offers a promotional TOR10 coupon. It does not expose a distinct resource family or location catalog, so no duplicate offer is created and the coupon is excluded., name: Dedicated servers, colocation, shared hosting and adjacent services; category: adjacent_or_nonqualifying_services; scope boundary: Bare metal and colocation are not VMs, while shared hosting does not provide guest administrator control. They remain outside benchmark comparisons.
- Operating systems
- current enabled no surcharge choices: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, Ubuntu 14, Ubuntu 16, Ubuntu 18, Ubuntu 19, Ubuntu 20, Ubuntu 22, Ubuntu 24, Debian 8, Debian 9, Debian 10, Debian 11, Debian 12, CentOS 6, CentOS 7, CentOS 9 Stream, AlmaLinux 8, AlmaLinux 9, AlmaLinux 10, Rocky 8, Rocky 9; current enabled paid choices: Proxmox VE (+EUR 10/month), RouterOS (MikroTik) (+EUR 10/month); displayed but disabled: CentOS 8 Stream, CloudLinux 8 (+EUR 15 label), CloudLinux 9 (+EUR 15 label); default: AlmaLinux 8; lifecycle warning: Many enabled labels are legacy or end-of-life, including Ubuntu 14/16/18/19, Debian 8/9/10 and CentOS 6/7. Checkout presence establishes selection, not upstream security support.; windows license boundary: Windows Server choices display no OS surcharge, but the public form does not state that a valid Microsoft license is included or identify an edition, activation model or entitlement. No license right is inferred.; custom iso: not_found
- Virtualization
- guest boundary: The current product is explicitly a Virtual Private Server and provides full root access and OS choice. This establishes an administrator-controlled VM rather than shared hosting or a managed application container.; hypervisor: not_found; kvm label boundary: The live form shows a checked, included 'KVM' row under Remote Management. That placement supports a remote-console interpretation and does not establish that KVM is the virtualization hypervisor; the benchmark therefore keeps virtualizer not_found.; provisioning: The location pages say the VPS is delivered in minutes after payment and the payment section advertises instant activation.; customer control plane: A customer panel is used for accounts, service management and support tickets. Public documentation does not enumerate VM power, reboot, reinstall, console, snapshot, traffic-graph or reverse-DNS controls; the order form's KVM remote-management label is retained without inventing those functions.; backups: No backup is selected by default. Separate monthly, weekly and daily backup choices add EUR 5, EUR 10 and EUR 15 per month respectively, without published retention count, restore workflow, RPO or RTO.; nested virtualization boundary: Proxmox VE is a EUR 10 OS selector choice, but the provider does not state that nested hardware virtualization extensions are exposed.
- CPU isolation
- benchmark classification: guaranteed; basis: The current services page describes VPS resources as dedicated and says they are not shared with other users, but neither that page nor the live form makes a CPU-specific dedicated-vCPU, exclusive physical-core or pinning promise. The directory therefore records the four vCPU as guaranteed rather than dedicated.; processor model: not_found; physical core mapping: not_found; hardware thread mapping: not_found; pinning policy: not_found; numeric oversubscription ratio: not_found
Features
- App installation guest managed: Full root access permits ordinary application installation inside the guest.; paid panels and software: The live form offers cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, LiteSpeed, KernelCare, Softaculous, JetBackup, Imunify360, CXS, mail tools and WHM/WHMCS add-ons. Softaculous is EUR 7/month and the three hosting panels are priced separately.; scope boundary: These are optional guest software/panel add-ons, not evidence of an independent cloud application marketplace or immutable application images.✓
- Templates & images os images: The current enabled and disabled selector states are recorded exactly under operating systems.; backup options: Monthly, weekly or daily backup can be selected for EUR 5, EUR 10 or EUR 15 per month; none is selected in the benchmark.; snapshots: not_found; reinstall: not_found; custom iso: not_found✓
- Network orchestration addressing: The base form includes one /32 IPv4 and one /64 IPv6. Paid IPv4 choices extend through /26, and paid IPv6 choices extend through /40.; byoip byoasn: BYOIP and BYOASN can be enabled for EUR 4/month on the standard VPS form, which exposes ASN and IP input fields.; smtp boundary: An open SMTP-port option costs EUR 5 and is available only in Croatia; selecting it disables IPv6.; port speed: 100 Mbit/s is included. Current paid choices expose 500 Mbit/s, shared or dedicated-labeled 1 Gbit/s, and shared or dedicated-labeled 10 Gbit/s.; traffic allowance: not_found; ddos: Each in-scope country page advertises included standard/basic DDoS filtering. The Netherlands page separately markets mitigation capacity up to 3 Tbit/s. A non-rendered form section contains a 20 Gbit/s label, so no single numeric mitigation capacity is represented as the contractual all-location baseline.; private networks floating ips and reverse dns: not_found; public customer api: not_found✓
- Firewall guest managed: Full root access permits a guest operating-system firewall.; provider native boundary: The current page source contains EUR 20 shared and EUR 80 private hardware-firewall rows inside a section hidden from the rendered VPS order flow. They are not counted as currently selectable service entitlements.; security groups: not_found✓
- Load balancer optional guest software: The live VPS software section offers LiteSpeed Web ADC (2 cores) for EUR 15/month.; scope boundary: This is an optional guest software/license line, not a provider-native managed load-balancer object, public endpoint service or separately documented HA design.✓

- Git integrations—

Support
base scope: The customer receives full root control. Basic support is included with a published response target within 48 hours; the page does not call that a resolution target or define covered guest-administration work.; paid response tiers: bronze: EUR 5/month, response within 24 hours; silver: EUR 25/month, response within 7 hours; gold: EUR 50/month, response within 3 hours; platinum: EUR 75/month, response within 30 minutes; availability sla: No general VPS uptime percentage, measurement method or credit schedule is published in the reviewed order and policy pages. Tier III/high-availability marketing is not converted into a customer SLA.; activation: VPS is marketed as provisioned within minutes after payment; the order page says every payment method receives instant activation.; backup boundary: Backups are optional paid frequency labels and publish no retention or restore commitment.; cancellation and refund: Services are prepaid and can be cancelled by control-panel ticket or official email. A three-day initial-purchase refund is available only under the policy's conditions; upgrades, renewals, promotional/coupon orders, and wire, Western Union or cryptocurrency payments are non-refundable. Immediate digital-service activation may further limit the right.; acceptable use: The inline checkout terms prohibit illegal content, phishing, malware, botnets, attacks, unauthorized scanning/exploitation and unauthorized copyrighted content; destabilizing abuse can cause immediate suspension.; payment boundary: The benchmark selects a no-surcharge payment method. Perfect Money adds 5%; promotional credits and coupons are excluded.
contact@maxko-hosting.com is published for both offices; maxko@maxko.org is the Croatian register email and abuse@maxko-hosting.com is published for abuse reports.
The cancellation policy directs customers to open a support ticket through the customer control panel; the live VPS form exposes the response-tier choices.
The contact page advertises real-time live-chat support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No independent chat-response metric is published.
What customers say
- + Older Trustpilot reviews repeatedly praise fast provisioning, speed, uptime, pricing and helpful support; one August 2025 reviewer likewise reported a smooth, fast site and quick answers.
- + WebHostingTop's current aggregate is 10/10 from nine user ratings, sharply higher than Trustpilot.
- − Trustpilot is currently 2/5. Two reviews from May 2026 allege non-delivery or a severe 10 Gbit/s-versus-30 Mbit/s mismatch together with unanswered support/refund requests; a 2023 VPS review alleges inability to SSH, slow support and a 5 TB limit behind unmetered marketing.
- − The 26 ratings span VPS, dedicated servers, shared hosting and game services rather than this exact current base configuration. One 2020 Trustpilot post self-identifies as MAXKO staff, and the large 2/5-versus-5/5 platform divergence makes the weighted 3.0385/5 aggregate especially fragile.
