A real server, minus the racking
Everything you’d expect from a machine of your own — root, your OS, your stack — running on enterprise servers we own, behind a network we control.
Full root access
SSH in as root from day one. Install anything, run any stack — Node, Python, Docker, game servers, databases. It’s your machine; we don’t look over your shoulder.
Your choice of Linux
Pick from 18 distributions when you order — Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky, CentOS Stream, Oracle Linux, openSUSE, Fedora, Arch and Alpine — installed clean and ready in minutes. Need something not on the list? Ask; it’s our hardware, so we’re flexible.
Optional DirectAdmin panel
Want server power with panel convenience? Add DirectAdmin to any VDS and manage sites, mail, and DNS through the same interface our hosting plans use.
Snapshots on request
Ask for a snapshot before any risky change and we will take one — as often as you need it. If an upgrade goes sideways, we can roll the whole server back to a known-good state.
SSD disks, generous transfer
From 25 GB to 100 GB of SSD and 2 to 8 TB of monthly transfer. Disk-hungry databases and busy APIs both get room to run.
A network we control
Your VDS lives on our enterprise hardware in a Chicago datacenter, with Cloudflare-backed DNS and DDoS protection available in front of anything you host.
VDS One vs. VDS Two vs. VDS Four
Same platform and same root access on every size — pick by the resources your workload needs today, and resize when it grows.

Which VDS is right for me?
Size for your steady-state load, not your worst day — snapshots and fast resizes mean growing later is painless — tell us the size you want and we handle the move.
VDS One
Development boxes, staging environments, small apps, bots, and VPNs. Two cores and 4 GB is plenty for a project that needs its own machine without production traffic.
VDS Two
The production sweet spot. Four cores and 8 GB comfortably run a business app, several busy sites, or a serious API in the real world.
VDS Four
Heavy applications, game servers, and big databases. Eight cores, 16 GB, 100 GB of SSD, and priority support when the workload actually matters.
