Cloud VPS That Stays Fast and Stays Up

Launch Linux or Windows servers NVMe, with full root/Administrator access, hourly billing, and a fixed monthly price cap. If a host fails, affected VPSs restart on healthy hardware. Performance Guard keeps your VPS running fast.

$200 credit at signup, good for 60 days

Animated demonstration of two scenarios. Performance Guard: the cluster detects rising load on one host and rebalances workloads before VPS performance is affected. Automatic Failover: when a host fails, its VPSs restart on healthy hosts from replicated storage.

  • Automatic failover
    If a host fails, affected VPSs restart on healthy hosts automatically.
  • Performance Guard
    Watches host load and shifts it to spare capacity before performance dips.
  • Backup slot
    One volume backup slot per VPS. Use it on demand or schedule daily, weekly, or monthly retention.
  • 10 TB outbound
    10 TB monthly outbound on a 1 Gbit/s port, with unmetered inbound on every plan.
  • API, Terraform, MCP
    Run the same operations from the dashboard, scripts, infrastructure-as-code, or an AI agent.

Common Questions About Cloud VPS

Are there contracts or commitments?

No contract is required. You can cancel anytime.

How can I try Cloud VPS without long-term risk?

Cloud VPS does not have a traditional free trial. Billing is hourly, you can cancel anytime, and a 7-day money-back guarantee covers your first paid invoice if the service does not fit. The standard $1 activation fee is credited to your balance immediately and refundable on request.

How does the $200 credit work?

New Cloud VPS accounts get a $200 credit automatically at signup. It covers hourly Cloud VPS usage and expires 60 days after signup.

How fast is deployment?

Most VPSs provision in about 60 seconds after checkout completes.

Can I change resources later?

Yes. Resize CPU, RAM, or storage at any time. CPU and RAM changes require a reboot.

How is Cloud VPS billed?

We bill VPS resources by the hour. The configurator shows the monthly cap for the selected resources; once that VPS has run 28 days in a month, resource charges stop. Billing Alerts can notify you when monthly usage goes over the amount you set.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), PayPal, Crypto, LINK, and ACH. Invoicing is available for qualified accounts.

Why is there a $1 setup/activation fee?

It's payment verification. We credit the $1 to your balance immediately and refund it on request, even after 30 days.

Do you offer volume discounts?

Yes. Contact our sales team for custom pricing on larger deployments or committed usage.

Do I get admin access?

Yes. You get full admin access.

Is this a managed service? What is included?

We manage the infrastructure: hardware, storage, networking, hypervisor updates. You manage the OS and application stack inside your VPS. For scope details, see our Statement of Support.

Is there an SLA?

We offer a 99.9% uptime SLA on our infrastructure. Terms of Service has the full details.

Can I use Remote Desktop?

Windows and Linux desktop environments ship as ready-to-deploy VPS templates. Connect with your existing RDP client (Windows) or VNC client (Linux desktop).

Are any ports blocked?

We block outbound SMTP by default to protect IP reputation. We enable SMTP access on request.

Can I use custom images or ISO installs?

Upload custom images or mount ISOs for specialized installs and recovery scenarios.

What is included with Windows licensing?

Windows Server Datacenter licensing is available as an add-on. License cost is included in the hourly rate when you choose a Windows template.

What is Performance Guard?

Performance Guard is our auto-balancing system for shared plans. It monitors cluster load and rebalances resources across the cluster to reduce noisy-neighbor impact and keep performance consistent.

Is this shared CPU?

Shared CPU plans use active balancing to keep performance consistent.

What happens when hardware fails?

Your VPS runs on distributed NVMe storage, replicated 3x. If the host goes down, the VPS restarts on a healthy node using the same storage. You don't move disks because they were never local.

What happens when a neighbor gets noisy?

Performance Guard monitors CPU, RAM, disk I/O, and network across the cluster. When contention crosses a threshold, it rebalances the cluster by shifting load to hosts with more headroom. The process runs transparently while your VPS stays up.

What is the catch with hourly billing?

No catch. VPS resources bill per hour up to a fixed monthly cap. If your VPS runs all month, resource charges stop after 28 days of runtime; selected licenses, backups, and add-ons appear as separate line items. Billing Alerts can notify you when monthly usage goes over the amount you set.

Can I automate Cloud VPS with the API, Terraform, or MCP?

Yes. Cloud VPS exposes the same control plane through a REST API, an OpenNebula Terraform provider, and the open-source Togglebox MCP server. All three authenticate with scoped Personal Access Tokens and land in the same audit log as the dashboard. See the API automation section for the live MCP demo.

Can I manage Cloud VPS from Claude, Cursor, or another AI assistant?

Yes. The open-source Togglebox MCP server exposes the full Cloud VPS account control plane (VPSs, disks, backups, S3-compatible buckets, networks, security groups, SSH keys, templates, billing, and support) as Model Context Protocol tools. It works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI. Calls authenticate with a scoped Personal Access Token and land in the same audit log as the dashboard and direct API. See the live demo.

How are API and MCP actions audited?

Every create, resize, delete, and reconfigure call is logged with the action, timestamp, and the scoped token that ran it. Dashboard, API, Terraform, and MCP calls all share one audit stream, so you can filter by token or time range during incident review.

Is a backup included with every Cloud VPS?

Yes. Every Cloud VPS includes one backup slot at no extra cost. You can schedule it (daily, weekly, or monthly) or use it as an on-demand manual backup. Additional backup slots are available as an add-on.

Does backup restore overwrite the target volume?

Yes. Restoring in place returns the target volume to its captured state and overwrites whatever is on the disk now. If the current state must survive, export the backup to a new volume instead. Other attached volumes and the VPS itself are unaffected by either action.

How do volume backups differ from Disaster Recovery?

Volume backups capture one disk at a specific moment and let you revert that disk independently. Disaster Recovery (DRaaS) adds atomic whole-server snapshots with 24 hourly and 7 daily recovery points, stored on isolated backup nodes with managed restores; the Enterprise tier also replicates snapshots to a separate data center. Use volume backups for point-in-time rollback and DRaaS for whole-VPS disaster recovery.

Can I save a backup as a reusable volume?

Yes. Backup rows include a save-as-volume action that creates a new account-level volume from the backup data. The new volume is billed at standard Volume Storage rates and the original backup keeps its slot. See the Recovery Ledger for the full set of disk recovery actions.

How do security groups work?

Security groups are reusable rule sets attached per network interface, not per VPS. Update the group once and every attached interface reflects the change. Public and private NICs on the same VPS can carry different groups, and every revision is recorded in the audit log.

What is included by default for private networking, floating IPs, and PTR records?

Every Cloud VPS includes private VLANs with custom CIDR ranges, floating IPs you can move between VPSs at the network layer for cutovers, and reverse-DNS (PTR) records you can set per public IP. Multi-NIC VPSs and per-interface security groups are also included.

When should I use Managed Firewall or Disaster Recovery instead?

Use the included security groups and private VLANs for per-VPS and fleet access control. Add Managed Firewall when you need a dedicated firewall appliance with managed policy review and incident response. Add DRaaS when whole-VPS recovery matters, not just point-in-time disk rollback.
