VPS hosting in Helsinki

The smallest plan we run in Helsinki is C2-4 at $13.90 a month, or $0.019 an hour if you would rather not commit to a month. There are 19 plans in this region in total and the price you see on the deploy screen is the price you pay — there is no setup fee and the renewal is the same figure as the first month.

Minutes, not hours. The order is built automatically the moment the payment clears — the machine is created at the platform, given its address and a root password, and the details appear in your account. Nobody has to be awake for it. If a build does fail, it is retried and a person is told; you are not left refreshing a page.

Usually, for a boring reason: distance is one of the things that decides round-trip time, and Helsinki is a great deal closer to a visitor in Finland than a server in another continent is. We do not publish millisecond figures, because latency depends on your visitor's network and route at least as much as on ours, and a number measured from our office would not tell you anything useful. Deploy the smallest plan by the hour, measure from where your users actually are, and destroy it if the result does not justify the move.

No. Our dedicated machines are built in Germany only, and we would rather say so than take an order we cannot fill here. In Helsinki the honest options are the virtual platform — including the Dedicated CPU line, where cores are pinned to your machine and never shared with another tenant — or a dedicated machine in Germany with a Helsinki instance in front of it.

We do not publish the facility for any region, here or anywhere else. We buy capacity from suppliers, and naming their buildings would be publishing somebody else's commercial detail. If your procurement process requires a named facility, tell us before you order and we will say plainly whether we can satisfy it.

Yes. Every plan in this region is metered by the hour as well as sold by the month, starting at $0.019 an hour. An hourly machine is billed for what it runs and stops costing when you destroy it, which is what makes it sensible to test the region before you commit to it.
