Pricing

Clear pricing, with founding-customer rates during launch.

Every price on this page is the price. Bandwidth is included, egress is not billed after the fact, and DDoS protection and backups are in the number you see rather than on the second invoice.

These are launch prices. Order during the founding phase and your rate is locked for the first year. Every dedicated machine after the first on an account takes 10% off, and anything marked “contact for quote” gets a real answer within one business day.

DDoS protection on everything

Included on every service at no extra charge. Not a tier, not an add-on, not a surprise line on month two.

Backups and snapshots included

Weekly snapshots as standard on VPS, daily where the service supports it, with upgraded retention available. Backup infrastructure is physically separate from production.

99.9% uptime SLA

Published in plain English with a credit schedule you can read, and credits you claim from a form in the portal rather than a letter to legal.

No setup fees, no contracts

Month-to-month on everything. Cancel any month. Discounts for paying quarterly or annually are optional, never required.

Free migration assistance

We help you move onto VPS and dedicated at no charge, and OS reinstalls stay free on request for as long as you are a customer.

72-hour money back

Unconditional on VPS plans. If it is not what you expected in the first three days, you get your money back without an argument.

Engineers answer tickets

A support team on the queue 24/7, with owners on escalation. Twelve-hour standard first response; one hour on Dedicated, Colocation, and Managed Data, and available on VPS for $5 a month.

Transparent hardware

Real CPU models and real specs, published. You will never see the words 'up to' on a spec sheet here.

Honest inventory

IP addresses and hardware upgrades are sold from real stock. When something runs out you get a waitlist, not an oversold node.

Flagship

Dedicated Machines — Monthly

A whole physical machine, billed monthly, with no shared neighbours and no metered egress. Named hardware, fixed price, cancel any month.

Credits are claimed from a one-click form in the client portal. We do not require you to prove the outage — our own uptime monitoring is the record, and it is the same data that feeds the public status page.
