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. 01Landing page1 vCPU · 1 GB · 10 GB

    Static files on Nginx or Caddy need tens of megabytes of memory; the floor is set by the OS: the Ubuntu cloud image needs 1 GB. Nginx and Caddy in the library have the same minimum: 1 vCPU, 1 GB, 10 GB.

  2. 02PHP website1 vCPU · 2 GB · 20 GB · estimate

    PHP-FPM, MariaDB and the OS don't fit into 1 GB: MariaDB takes a few hundred megabytes at startup, and every PHP worker adds tens more.

  3. 03Site with a panel2 vCPU · 2 GB · 30 GB

    CloudPanel requires at least 1 core, 2 GB of memory and 10 GB of disk; FASTPANEL needs 1 GB, HestiaCP 1 GB without antispam and antivirus. The second vCPU keeps the site responsive while the panel archives files.

  4. 04Busy website2 vCPU · 4 GB · 50 GB · estimate

    About 1 GB goes to the MariaDB buffer, the rest to OPcache, the page cache and PHP workers.

  5. 05Several sites in a panel4 vCPU · 6 GB · 100 GB · estimate

    HestiaCP recommends 4 cores, 4 GB and 40 GB for a production server. On top of that, spare memory and disk for the sites.

  6. 06Web studio6 vCPU · 12 GB · 200 GB · estimate

    Our estimate for a studio: dozens of sites with staging copies and room for archives.

Web hosting FAQ

No answer here? Message @ExpressHost_SupportBot.

Why a VPS rather than shared hosting?

A VPS is your own server with root access: any PHP version, Nginx modules, your own cron jobs and background processes. The price is known in advance: 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 10 GB NVMe costs $2.85 a month.

Which panel to choose: FASTPANEL, HestiaCP or CloudPanel?

All three install from the bot. Per the official requirements, FASTPANEL and HestiaCP need at least 1 GB of memory, CloudPanel at least 2 GB. That's why the “Site with a panel” plan is 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 30 GB NVMe for $5.16 a month: any of the three runs on it.

How many sites will fit on the server?

It depends on the CMS and traffic. A reference point is HestiaCP's recommendation for a production server: 4 cores and 4 GB. That's the “Several sites in a panel” plan (4 vCPU, 6 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe). When you have more sites, change the plan with the “Plan” button in the server panel in the bot.

How do I connect a domain and SSL?

The server gets a *.expresshost.cloud domain right away. Your own domain is connected in the bot, under “DNS / Domains”. A Let's Encrypt certificate is issued by the panel (FASTPANEL, HestiaCP, CloudPanel) or by Caddy, which gets certificates on its own.
