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.

Ubuntu VPS FAQ
No answer here? Message @ExpressHost_SupportBot.
Which Ubuntu version should I choose?
Ubuntu 22.04 is shown in the server panel in the bot, and 64 scripts of the library target it. Check which other versions are available at the second step of the order, “Choose OS”.
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.
How many resources does Ubuntu need?
The Ubuntu Server cloud image needs at least 1 GB of memory; for most practical workloads Canonical recommends at least 3 GB. So a light server is 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 10 GB NVMe ($2.85 a month), and for Docker it's 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe ($6.58).
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.
