// What's included

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Every plan. No feature tiers, no add-on surprises below the plan level.

[cpu]
Dedicated vCPU
Your cores are pinned to you. We don't overcommit CPU across VMs — no noisy-neighbour throttling during peak hours on a shared host.
Pinned cores · no overselling
[nvme]
NVMe SSD Storage
All VM storage is NVMe — not SATA or spinning disk. Significantly faster random I/O for databases, busy apps, and high-traffic sites.
NVMe only · no HDD fallback
[ip6]
IPv6 /64 Native
Every VM ships with a /64 IPv6 prefix. Dual-stack on all paid plans. Micro plan is IPv6-only at a lower price — ideal for development.
IPv6 first · KIXP ~2ms
[ssh]
SSH Key Auth Only
Password login is disabled at provisioning. Your public key goes in, you connect. Secure by default — no "change your password" nag screens.
Keys only · no password auth
[ptr]
Free Reverse DNS
Set your own PTR record for any IP. Essential for mail servers. We update on request — same day. No charge, ever.
Customer-controlled · no fee
[root]
Full Root Access
Your OS, your rules. Install anything — Docker, K3s, Podman, custom kernels. No agent installed, no backdoor, no restrictions inside your VM.
sudo root · no restrictions
