DDoS protection

Premium always-on DDoS mitigation keeps your services online under attack.

Up to 1 Gbit/s network

Every VPS gets up to 1 Gbit/s as standard, with up to 2.5 Gbit/s available at checkout.

Choice of OS

Reinstall to any supported operating system from the panel in a couple of clicks.

Central EU location

Hosted in Eygelshoven, Netherlands - low latency across Germany, Benelux and most of Europe.

The InstantNode panel

A control panel that does
the heavy lifting

Every server comes with a modern panel. Install apps, schedule backups, manage your firewall and share access - all without touching a terminal.

160+ self-hosted apps in one click - Nextcloud, WordPress, Grafana, game servers and more. Deploy them via Docker straight from the panel.

Backups on your schedule

Daily backups at the hour you choose, with up to three retained. Restore with one click, or download the full archive anytime.

Team access

Share server management by email. Grant granular permissions - power, backups, files, console or settings - per person.

Built-in firewall

Open or block ports instantly from the panel. Rules apply at the host level - no iptables required.

Usage history & traffic

See CPU, RAM and network graphs from the last hour to the last month. Traffic totals are included for any window.

Reverse DNS (PTR)

Set PTR records for your IPs right in the panel. It matters for mail servers that need good deliverability.

Console & file manager

Use the web console and full file manager right in your browser. Edit, upload and manage files without an SSH client.

Frequently asked questions

What does "dedicated cores" actually mean?
Your VM is pinned to specific physical EPYC cores on the host and gets top scheduling priority on them. Unlike a shared vCPU, your compute does not wobble when a neighbor gets busy - performance is the same at 3 a.m. and at peak hour. The pool of dedicated cores is finite; when it is sold out we say so instead of overselling.
VDS or regular KVM VPS - which one do I need?
For websites, bots, small game servers and dev boxes, a KVM VPS is the better deal. Pick a VDS when your workload is latency-sensitive under sustained load: busy game servers, databases, CI runners, panels hosting several services. We wrote an honest comparison on the blog.
Can I resize my VDS later?
VDS plans are fixed presets - that is what makes the core pool plannable. To grow, deploy a bigger plan and move over (the Server Importer makes that painless), or open a ticket and we will help with the switch.
Is DDoS protection included?
Yes. Always-on DDoS mitigation is included with every VDS at no extra cost.
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept PayPal, cryptocurrencies and your InstantNode account balance. Card payments are currently not available.
