*📜 Plan description

G3.8 in the General purpose class includes 8 Xeon E5 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM, 160 GB SSD storage and 6 TB monthly data transfer. The Linux price is $35.00/mo and the matching Windows price is $51.00/mo; both sizes are billed hourly with the listed monthly equivalent. Each virtual server includes one public IPv4 plus a private NIC for intra-DC traffic, and you have root/Administrator access to install stacks, panels, or databases.

ColossusCloud runs on SSD distributed storage (Ceph) with each block triple stored across multiple servers. Deploy in minutes at six regions (Silicon Valley, Las Vegas, Dallas, Ashburn, Amsterdam, Singapore). Each VM includes one public IPv4 and a private 192.168.x.x interface for intra-DC networking. Billing is hourly with an auto-refill to roughly 30 days, payable by credit card or PayPal. Daily backup snapshots are available; you can scale to hundreds of VMs from the portal. Linux images span Debian 10/11/12, Ubuntu 18.04/20.04/22.04, AlmaLinux 8/9, Rocky Linux 8/9 and offer a fully automated cPanel installer. Windows templates include Windows 7/10 Pro and Windows Server 2008 R2/2012 R2/2016/2019/2022 with RDP access. Network uplinks are multi-10/40G with providers such as NTT, Zayo and Telstra. A 14-day money-back guarantee is advertised.

📄 Editorial Review

Colossus Cloud (by A+ Hosting, Inc., dba ServerPoint.com) is an IaaS-focused provider founded in 1998. They own and manage a large portion of their infrastructure and augment it with select partners. The platform emphasizes reliability and performance: SSD-based CEPH storage, enterprise hypervisors with multiple layers of redundancy, and network designs using MLAG/MC-LAG/vLAG to fail over instantly if a path drops. Their client portal is purpose-built to make provisioning straightforward and fast.

VPS / Cloud servers (Linux & Windows). These are the core offering. Instances are SSD-backed on CEPH, provision in minutes, and ship with two NICs (public IP + private IP/subnet) to support low-latency inter-VM traffic for data-heavy stacks (e.g., Redis, Cassandra, MongoDB, Hadoop). A private network, snapshot/backups, and an "Update Central" feature (bulk OS patching) are available. OS images span current Windows Server versions and major Linux distributions (AlmaLinux, Rocky, Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS 7), with optional cPanel auto-install for traditional hosting workflows.

Dedicated / Bare-metal. Bare-metal servers run on their cloud network with Intel Scalable processors and dual 10 Gbps fiber uplinks. They promote the ScalableXn network fabric (multi-terabit capable) to support high east-west throughput for software-defined and storage workloads (e.g., Ceph, MinIO, Hadoop). cPanel + CloudLinux are offered for web hosting use cases, and they will install hypervisors if you’re building your own virtualization layer.

What’s not offered. They do not sell shared hosting. The portfolio is aimed at teams that want full control over compute—developers, SaaS, agencies, and enterprises that prefer VPS and bare-metal.
