What does IPv6-only mean?
VPS S and VPS M get one public IPv6 address and no IPv4 address. Visitors, players and services on networks that only use IPv4 can't connect to them directly. VPS L includes a dedicated IPv4 address as well as IPv6. Outgoing connections still work to services that only have IPv4 (for example GitHub): IPv6-only plans use DNS64 resolvers and we translate that traffic through a shared IPv4 address (NAT64). Email ports 25, 465 and 587 stay blocked.
How can people on IPv4-only networks reach an IPv6-only VPS?
For websites, put your domain behind Cloudflare's proxy: Cloudflare accepts visitors over IPv4 and IPv6 and connects to your VPS over IPv6. For game servers or other non-web services that IPv4-only players need to reach, choose VPS L, which includes a dedicated IPv4 address.
Are the vCPUs dedicated?
No. Every plan uses shared vCPUs: processor time on the host is shared between the virtual servers running on it. Sustained use that affects other customers may be limited, as set out in the acceptable use policy.
Are backups or snapshots included?
No. Snapshots and backups are your responsibility. Keep copies of anything important somewhere other than the VPS, especially before you rebuild or reinstall it.
What can I do in Vestra Console?
Each VPS has power controls, a browser console, rebuild and reinstall, and rescue mode. Vestra Console also manages your Vestra game servers and billing.
Which operating systems can I install?
Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, AlmaLinux 9 and Rocky Linux 9. You choose an image when you order and can rebuild with another image later in Vestra Console.
Do I get root access?
Yes. Every plan includes full root access. You install and manage the software yourself, and you're responsible for keeping the system updated and secure.
What isn't allowed on a VPS?
Sending email (outbound ports 25, 465 and 587 are blocked), cryptocurrency mining, scanning and attacks, proxies or VPNs used for abuse, and illegal content. A private proxy or VPN for yourself is fine. Read the full acceptable use policy before you order.
Where are the servers?
In a Hetzner data centre in Falkenstein, Germany. Each host connects on a 1 Gbit/s port that is shared between the virtual servers on it.
How does billing work?
Plans are billed monthly in GBP through Stripe and renew automatically until you cancel. Prices are the full price you pay: no VAT is added. You can cancel any time, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period.
Is there limited stock at launch?
Yes, there is limited stock at launch. The order page shows whether each plan is in stock.
