What is a cloud server?
A cloud server (VPS) replicates the operations of a standalone server using hardware virtualization, which divides one physical server into multiple independent virtual ones.
Serverspace uses the vStack hypervisor for cloud virtualization — a rock-solid, high-performance solution for managing remote servers with confidence. To buy a cloud server, choose your preferred configuration and deployment region, then click “Create server.”
Are there charges for machines that are stopped?
When the server is powered off, charges only apply for disk space (SSD), backups, snapshots, licenses, and public IP addresses. You will NOT be charged for RAM and CPU.
Which hardware gets used?
See full information about our hardware here.
How much does a virtual machine cost to rent?
The total cost of cloud server rent depends on the resources you choose during server creation.
Billing details are available on the pricing page. Full tariff details are in the control panel under Finance -> Tariffs.
What does "Pay-as-you-go" mean?
No fixed costs: billing is every 10 minutes and only for what’s running. Run a virtual machine for just 30 minutes? That’s all you’ll pay for - nothing more.
Just one of the features you’ll find with the industry’s best cloud providers.
Can I change VM configuration?
Yes. You can change vCPU, RAM, Volume, and bandwidth.
RAM and vCPU adjustments can be made without data loss, but a reboot is required. Bandwidth scaling does not require a reboot.
Do you have backups?
Backups are available exclusively for Vmware cloud servers.
To create a backup, go to the "Backup" tab, click Enable, and select the retention duration.
Backups can be retained for 7, 14, 21, or 28 days and are saved daily.
Is there a limit to the number of servers created?
By default, 25 servers can be created per project. Contact support to lift this limit if more resourses are needed.
Which operating system templates are available?
You can buy a cloud server with any one of the following OS templates:
- Windows;
- FreeBSD;
- Debian;
- Ubuntu;
- CentOS;
- Oracle;
- Rocky Linux;
- AlmaLinux;
- Kali Linux.

- New Jersey, USA;
- São Paulo, BR;
- Dubai, UAE;
- Almaty, KZ.

Can I test your services without charge?
We do not offer free trials, but topping up your balance with a minimum amount - 5 euros - is enough to evaluate server performance.
Test various configurations at a low cost to determine if a server with 1 vCPU and 1 GB RAM meets your needs or if more resources are necessary.
Am I free to choose my own server configurations?
You can choose between:
- preset configurations, where the ratios of RAM, cores, and storage are pre-selected - popular server types are pre-configured and ready to use;
- custom configurations, which allow you to tailor the resource ratios to fit your specific needs.
