Three steps, start to finish. No sales call, no manual approval queue.
Choose the amount of RAM and storage your project needs, then pick the location closest to your visitors.
Check out with a card, PayPal, or crypto, and choose which Linux distribution you want installed.
Your root login lands in your inbox within minutes, and you can SSH in right away.
Install anything, edit any config file, and manage your server exactly the way you would a machine sitting next to you.
Every plan runs on NVMe drives, which cuts disk wait time on database queries, backups, and file heavy workloads.
Start small and move up a plan when traffic picks up. Your data and configuration carry over.
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, and CentOS Stream are all available at checkout.
Deploy close to your users across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Pay with a card, PayPal, or Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies, and your server is ready as soon as payment confirms.
Linux VPS hosting sits between shared hosting and a full dedicated server. You are not sharing an operating system with strangers, and you are not paying for hardware you do not need either. A Linux virtual private server carves out a fixed slice of CPU, RAM, and NVMe storage on a physical machine, and hands you root access to that slice, so it behaves like your own server from the moment it boots.
That is what makes an affordable Linux VPS such a common starting point for a website, an API, or a project that has outgrown a laptop. You are not locked into one control panel or one way of doing things. If you already know your way around a terminal, a Linux VPS server with root access gives you roughly the same freedom as a machine sitting on your desk, minus the desk.
What is built into every plan, and what stays on you as the person with root access.
DDoS protection
Included on every plan, no add-on required.
Dedicated resources
A noisy neighbor on the same hardware will not slow your server down.
Support every day of the year
If something is wrong with the server or your account, we are reachable.
Worth knowing before you order
These are unmanaged servers. You get full root access, which means you are also responsible for keeping your own software, applications, and updates in order. Our support team can help with the server and your account, but day to day management of what you install is on you. If that sounds like more than you want to take on, our tutorials are a good place to start.
Pick a location close to your visitors to cut latency. Every listed city runs the same plans and setup process.
Pick the distribution that matches your workload and comfort level. You can reinstall the OS at any time from your control panel.
The most widely used server distribution, with the largest base of tutorials and community support. A safe default if you are not sure which OS to pick. If you know you want Ubuntu specifically, our dedicated Ubuntu VPS plans include free migration help.
Known for stability and a slow, conservative release cycle. A common choice for servers you want to set up once and rarely touch. Learn more at debian.org.
Built by the community as a direct, compatible successor to CentOS. A solid pick if you are migrating an existing CentOS workload. Learn more at rockylinux.org.
Another CentOS successor, backed by CloudLinux. Works well for business applications that expect an RHEL compatible base. Learn more at almalinux.org.
A faster moving distribution sponsored by Red Hat, useful for development environments where you want newer packages sooner.
The rolling preview of what becomes RHEL. Original CentOS reached end of life, so Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux are usually the better match if you want the classic CentOS experience.
Most customers do not buy a Linux VPS for a single purpose. A server that starts out hosting a small website often ends up running a database, a couple of Docker containers, and a scheduled script within a few months.
Run services in containers instead of installing everything directly on the OS. Common choices on our servers include Nextcloud, GitLab, Grafana, Jenkins, Portainer, and uptime monitoring tools. Some customers run one container, others run ten on the same box. If you are starting from scratch, our guide to installing Docker on Ubuntu walks through the setup.
Test changes on a separate server before pushing them live, so a broken update never touches the production site. Teams can share one server instead of each person maintaining a local copy.
Trading bots, monitoring scripts, crawlers, and scheduled jobs need to stay online around the clock. A VPS keeps running whether you are at your desk or not, without leaving a home computer on all day.
Install WireGuard or OpenVPN and run your own VPN instead of subscribing to a third party service. You decide how access, routing, and logging work. Here is our walkthrough for setting up an OpenVPN server on Ubuntu.
MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis all run comfortably on NVMe storage. Some customers keep the database on the same server as their app, others split it onto its own VPS for isolation.
It is common for one VPS to host a website, run a database, handle a couple of Docker containers, and provide VPN access at the same time. The server grows with the project instead of forcing a migration.
A quick look at starting prices and payment options across a few well known VPS providers, as of 2026.
| Provider | Starting price | Crypto payment | Setup time |
|---|---|---|---|
| ElderNode this page | $7.77/mo | Under 5 minutes | |
| DigitalOcean | from $4.00/mo | A few minutes | |
| Vultr | from $2.50/mo | A few minutes | |
| Linode (Akamai) | from $5.00/mo | A few minutes |
Pick a plan, choose your OS, and pay from your wallet. Once the payment confirms, the server is provisioned the same way it would be with a card, no bank forms and no waiting on a wire transfer.
You still get full root access, NVMe storage, and the ability to reinstall the OS whenever you need to. Paying with crypto is simply one more option, not a separate tier of service.
