Linux VPS plans are built with NVMe drives and AMD EPYC processors. The operating system options are quite limited: Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 12, and AlmaLinux 9. That's all.
The cost of unmanaged VPS without technical support is extremely high, which negates all the advantages.
You can pay with cryptocurrency, but only in Bitcoin. After payment, you'll be taken to a verification process, where you'll be asked your location and the purpose for which you need a VPS. If you need a server urgently, this is a bad choice. The verification takes about two hours, despite the fact that support responds quite quickly. But overall it is worth noting that the verification is quite formal.
The virtual server's initial release time is unknown, as the server access credentials were not sent via email. The activated virtual server was discovered a day later.
There's no option to boot a virtual machine from a custom ISO image, nor is there the ability to create backups. This is very disappointing given the relatively high price.
The password copying feature in the control panel doesn't work. You need to click the "Show Password" button and copy it manually.
The Debian 12 operating system is provided without any resolvers configured. Simply put, the OS is inoperable. This is unacceptable for a hosting provider of this level.
It's worth noting the rather high network latency of 190 ms. This will significantly impact connectivity.
VNC access is also missing. The only option is to boot the server from a recovery ISO.
