Monthly billing · root access
Virtual servers for people who still like SSH.
Pick a size and get a root login. NVMe on every plan, a public IP you keep, and one price for the month.
From $6 a month. No setup fee and no term contract.
Product
Everything that comes with the machine.
-
01
Root on first boot
Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, and Rocky. Your SSH key is on the box at first boot.
-
02
One price for the month
Each plan is a flat monthly charge. The number on the card is the number on the invoice.
-
03
NVMe on every plan
Local disk, included from Spark up. Not a network volume you add later.
-
04
An address you keep
IPv4 and IPv6 on every instance. Extra IPv4 addresses are $4 a month.
-
05
Snapshots
Take one before a resize or a risky upgrade. Roll back without opening a ticket.
-
06
A firewall you edit
Open the ports the workload needs. Everything else stays closed.
The whole product
A root shell, a public IP, and a monthly price.
Create an instance, add your key, and connect. Resize it when the graph says so. Destroy it when you no longer need it.

Uses
A plain server, pointed at a job.
Shipping a product
One box for the app, the database, and the worker. Resize when a launch post lands.
Client hosting
Keep projects on separate instances. Hand over an IP and still understand the invoice.
Multiplayer
A public IP, and a firewall you edit yourself.
A build machine
Keep CI on its own box. The monthly price covers it whether the queue is busy or idle.
Notes from teams
Short bills. Fewer surprises.
“We moved the API off a machine under a desk. The invoice finally matches the month we had.”
“Preview boxes stay up. The invoice is the plan price, the same number every month.”
“Four client sites fit on Current. I can explain the bill without a spreadsheet.”
Questions
Before you put a card on file.
Is there a contract?
No. You pay the monthly price of the plan. Destroy the instance and it comes off the next invoice.
What if I power the server off?
The monthly price stays the same. A stopped instance keeps its disk and IP until you destroy it.
Can I resize later?
Yes. Moving up or down needs a short reboot. Take a snapshot first if the disk is being reshaped.
Which systems can I install?
Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, and Rocky. Bring your own SSH key. This catalog is Linux only.
Start with the smallest box that fits.
Upgrade when the graph says so. Destroy it when the project ends.
