Prices are taken from the providers' pricing pages on the check date, per month, without prepayment discounts; rubles and euros are converted to US dollars at the official rate (Central Bank of Russia and ECB respectively). Our price is the step from the list above, with the server in the Netherlands. Resources don't match one to one: where another provider gives more of a resource, the row says so. Providers change their prices; the current price is on their site, linked in each row.

Why these resources

Minimums come from the apps' official requirements; our estimates are marked.

  1. 01Proxy or cron jobs1 vCPU · 1 GB · 10 GB · estimate

    A minimal install without a desktop fits into 1 GB of memory. 10 GB is the configurator minimum. Our estimate.

  2. 02Service in Go or Bun1 vCPU · 2 GB · 20 GB · estimate

    Spare memory for the service and package updates. Our estimate.

  3. 03Coolify and apps2 vCPU · 2 GB · 30 GB

    Coolify's official minimum is 2 cores, 2 GB of memory and 10 GB of disk. 30 GB leaves room for images and the build cache.

  4. 04VS Code on a server2 vCPU · 4 GB · 50 GB

    code-server requires at least 2 cores and 1 GB of memory. On top of that, memory for builds and room for repositories.

  5. 05App, database and Netdata4 vCPU · 8 GB · 100 GB · estimate

    Our estimate for a project's production server.

  6. 06Local model in Ollama8 vCPU · 16 GB · 150 GB · estimate

    A 13–14B model with 4-bit quantization takes about 8–9 GB; the rest goes to the context and the OS. Our estimate.

AlmaLinux VPS FAQ

No answer here? Message @ExpressHost_SupportBot.

Which scripts run on AlmaLinux?

Per the library's requirements, 11 scripts are compatible with AlmaLinux 9: for example, Coolify, code-server, Go, Bun and Ollama. The rest target Ubuntu and Debian.

How is AlmaLinux different from Ubuntu?

AlmaLinux is a binary-compatible rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux: packages are installed with dnf rather than apt, and configs live in RHEL paths. It's chosen when the team's guides and experience are RHEL-based.

How do I connect over SSH?

With ssh root@IP: the address and root password arrive in the bot after payment. You can add an SSH key when ordering or under “Settings → SSH keys”, and the VNC console opens right from the bot.

Can I reinstall the system?

Yes, the OS is reinstalled with one button in the server panel in the bot. Save the files you need before reinstalling.
