Three servers, one building block.
Every server on this page is built from the same slice, and you decide how many to take. What changes between the three is what a slice holds — fast SSD for general work, Windows Server with the licence in the price, or a full terabyte of capacity for the things you need to keep.
- Sized in slices, not plans
- Billed monthly, cancel any time
- Root or administrator access on all three
- 1–32
- slices on every product
- US
- three regions
- Monthly
- no term, no setup fee
Pick the one that matches the work
They run on the same platform in the same three regions, and they scale the same way. Only the slice differs.
Linux Cloud Compute
The general-purpose one, and the cheapest way onto a server
- 40 GB of NVMe-class SSD per slice
- Root access and a static public IP
- AlmaLinux, Ubuntu, Debian or CentOS
- cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin or none at all
Windows Cloud Compute
Windows Server with Remote Desktop, licence included
- The same SSD slices, on Hyper-V
- Remote Desktop and administrator access
- ASP.NET, MS SQL Server and Plesk
- Starts at two slices, not one
Storage Cloud Compute
A full terabyte a slice, for backups and archives
- 1 TB of SATA capacity per slice, on ZFS
- Up to 32 TB on one server
- Root SSH, command line only
- For keeping data rather than serving it fast
The rest of our servers
Cloud compute is one shape of server among several. These are the others, and the honest case for each is on its own page.
Cloud VPS
Fixed plans with more memory and disk at the larger sizes
- Europe and the United States
- Basic, Pro and Power families
WebSols Cloud Servers
Dedicated vCPU, four regions, and add-ons
- Germany, Finland, the US and Singapore
- Load balancers and block storage
Dedicated Servers
A whole machine with nobody else on it
- Sixty-nine machines in five ranges
- For sustained load and licensing rules
The short version
If none of these describes the project, tell us what it is and we will say which one fits — including when the answer is none of them.
A website, an application, a database, or anything general
Software that expects Windows, or a desktop you connect to remotely
Somewhere to put backups, archives or a large media library
A server in Europe or Asia rather than the United States
Managed storage with sharing built in, without running a server
A website with no server to administer at all
What every slice comes with
The platform underneath is the same whichever of the three you take, and so is the way it scales.
Resize, do not rebuild
Add slices when the work grows and pay the difference. The server keeps its data, its IP address and its configuration.
Isolated by virtualisation
KVM on Linux and storage servers, Hyper-V on Windows, so your workload is separated from everything else on the hardware.
Static IP on a 10 Gbps port
Addresses are assigned statically and do not change after setup, on a shared 10 Gbps port.
Monthly, with no term
No yearly commitment and no yearly discount on any of the three. Cancel whenever you like.
Managed from 12 slices
At 12 slices and above, engineers help with failed services, databases, control panels and performance problems.
Backups are not included
On any of the three. Off-server storage can be added for a fee, and keeping your own copy remains your responsibility.
Questions about cloud compute
The things people ask before picking one of the three.
What is a slice?
One building block of a server. On Linux and Windows a slice is 2 GB of memory, 40 GB of SSD and 2 TB of transfer; on the storage product it is 2 GB of memory, a full terabyte of SATA and 2 TB of transfer. All three add one CPU core for every second slice, and you can take from one to thirty-two — two to thirty-two on Windows.
