What is a VPS and when do you need one?
A VPS is your own server in the cloud, with full control. You get root access, choose your own operating system and install whatever you want. That is the difference from shared hosting, where the provider decides what runs.
What people use a VPS for
The most common cases: a website or shop that has outgrown web hosting, a Discord or Telegram bot, a VPN for home, a Git server or CI runner, a test environment, or a game server you want to manage yourself rather than through a panel.
What you need to be able to do
Be honest with yourself: a VPS is unmanaged. Updates, firewall, backups and security are your responsibility. If that is not something you want to deal with, web hosting or a managed game panel is a nicer fit. If you are comfortable in a terminal, a VPS gives you far more freedom for very little money.
What you get
Our budget VPS starts at €2 per month with 2 GB of RAM and NVMe storage. You choose your distribution at checkout — Debian, Ubuntu and other common options — and you have root access within minutes.
When you need more
If you start hitting limits, a KVM VPS is the next step: it gives you your own kernel and the ability to run Windows. For workloads where performance must be guaranteed, look at a VDS with dedicated resources.
