A VPS (virtual private server) is a virtualized share of a physical server's resources that is allocated to you. With full root access you can install any software you like and run a website, a bot, an API or a small database. On our VPS plans the CPU power is shared with the other virtual servers on the same machine, which keeps prices low. Once your payment is confirmed your server is set up automatically and you can connect right away with the web terminal in the client panel.
If you only want to publish a website and would rather not manage a server, our Web Hosting plans are more practical; we explain the differences in our Hosting or VPS? guide.
| Feature | VPS | VDS |
|---|---|---|
| CPU (vCPU) | Shared: split with the other virtual servers on the same physical server | Dedicated: the cores are reserved for you alone |
| RAM | The amount shown on the plan card | Guaranteed RAM |
| At peak times | Can be affected by other customers' CPU usage | Not affected by other customers' CPU load; performance is more predictable |
| Your own IPv4 | Not included on the plan cards | VDS Enterprise plans |
| Root access and traffic | Both: root access, unlimited traffic | Both: root access, unlimited traffic |
| Location | Istanbul, Turkey | Istanbul, Turkey |
| Starting at | $0.89 per month | $1.69 per month |
| Best for | Bots, experiments, learning Linux and small projects | Always-on applications, databases and game servers |
For workloads that keep the CPU busy or need consistent performance even at peak times, see our VDS plans. For a scenario-by-scenario comparison, see our VPS vs VDS guide.
512 MB of RAM is enough for a Telegram bot, a small Python or Node.js script, or learning Linux. n8n needs at least 1 GB; for n8n, a few Docker containers or a database, 2 GB or more is a more comfortable start. If memory is tight, you can add swap space with our Adding swap to an Ubuntu VPS guide.
On a VPS the CPU cores are shared: more cores let you run more tasks at the same time, but full power is not guaranteed at all times. If you will run several services together, choose a plan with 2 or more vCPUs. For workloads that keep the CPU busy all the time, see our VDS plans with cores reserved for you.
Leave room for the operating system, your application, your database and any backups you keep on the server; log files grow over time.
The VPS plan cards do not include an IPv4 address of your own; you connect to your server over SSH and through the web terminal in the client panel. For a service that must be reached directly from outside (a website, a game server, a VPN), see our VDS / Game Servers / VPN Server plans with an IPv4 address of your own.
You can start with a small plan; when you need more, just open a support ticket and your resources are moved to a higher plan with your data kept intact.

Our VPS servers run in Istanbul. If the people connecting to your server are in Turkey, having the server in Turkey as well means the data travels a shorter path; latency (ping) grows with distance.
Istanbul is geographically closer to Iran, Azerbaijan, Iraq and the Caucasus than data centers in Western Europe. That makes a Turkey VPS a sensible midpoint for projects that serve users both in Turkey and in these regions. Instead of guessing the latency, measure it from your own connection: run ping and traceroute with our Looking Glass tool and follow the steps in our Ping to a Turkish server from Iran and Russia guide.
On VPS plans the CPU power is shared with the other virtual servers on the same machine; that is why the price is low. For workloads that use a lot of CPU all the time, look at our VDS plans, where the cores are reserved for you.
We accept payments in USDT (TRC20). You do not need a credit card or a Turkish bank account, so ordering from abroad is easy too. Prices and invoices are in US dollars (USD). See our article Buying a server with crypto for a step-by-step walkthrough.

Physical servers that are entirely yours; for high-traffic websites and heavy workloads.
A physical server with an NVIDIA graphics card for AI models and image processing.
Our VPS servers run in Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul is geographically closer to users in Turkey and to nearby regions such as Iran, the Caucasus and the Middle East than data centers in Western Europe. You can measure the latency from your own connection with the Looking Glass tool.
No, we do not offer a free VPS or a free trial. VPS plans start at $0.89 per month. On your first purchase, if you ask within 3 days we refund what you paid with no questions asked; the details are on the Refund Policy page.
Yes. Because we take payments in USDT (TRC20), you do not need a Turkish bank account or a credit card. The site and the client panel are available in Turkish, English, Russian and Persian. For the steps, see our Buying a server with crypto guide.
VPS plan cards do not list a dedicated IPv4 address; you connect to your server over SSH and with the web terminal in the client panel. If you need an IPv4 address of your own, look at the VDS / Game Servers plans whose cards say "dedicated IPv4 address".
On our VPS plans, CPU power is shared with the other virtual servers on the same host. For light workloads such as bots, scripts, automation and small APIs this is usually enough, but CPU power can vary at peak times. For workloads that keep the CPU busy all the time, see our VDS plans with cores reserved for you. For what to look for in a cheap VPS, read our What to check when buying a cheap VPS guide.
The VPS plan cards do not include a public IPv4 address of your own, which is usually needed to connect to a VPN server such as WireGuard or OpenVPN from outside. For a VPN we therefore recommend our VPN Server plans, which come with a personal IP address. If you want to set up the VPN yourself, choose one of the plans with an IPv4 address of your own on the VDS page; the steps are in our Installing WireGuard VPN on a VPS guide. If you are thinking of setting it up on a standard VPS, please check with our support team first.
If you want to publish your site without managing a server, Web Hosting is more practical: PHP, a database, phpMyAdmin and free SSL come ready to use. A VPS is for software that needs root access (bots, Docker, n8n, Python or Node.js apps), and you manage the server yourself. For a detailed comparison, see our Hosting or VPS? guide.
On VPS plans, CPU power is shared with other virtual servers on the same physical machine, which makes them more affordable. On VDS plans, CPU cores are dedicated to you and RAM is guaranteed, so performance is more predictable under heavy load. For a detailed comparison, see our article VPS vs VDS. VPS plans start at $0.89 per month and VDS plans at $1.69 per month.
Yes. You get full root access on VPS and VDS servers. You can connect via SSH or reach your server from the browser using the web terminal in the client area. To learn more about SSH, read our article What is SSH?.
Our servers run Linux: Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12. We do not offer Windows servers. Since you have root access, you can install any software you like after setup.
Yes. From the service page in the client panel you can reinstall your server with one of the operating systems offered for your plan (Ubuntu 24.04 or Debian 12). A reinstall wipes the disk completely; the plan, IP address and limits stay the same and a new root password is generated. Back up your important data first.
No. Traffic is unlimited on all VPS plans: there is no monthly quota, no speed throttling and no extra traffic charge. You can track your usage in the client panel.
Yes. Just open a support ticket and we'll move you to a higher plan with all your data intact.
For VPS, all VDS plans (including VDS Enterprise), game servers, VPN and web hosting plans, setup starts automatically as soon as your payment is confirmed; your service is usually ready within minutes. Dedicated, Mac and n8n / AI servers, as well as business email, WordPress, Node.js and reseller hosting plans are set up by our team after payment. In both cases your access details are sent to your client panel and email.
