HostUp.se VPS SM, € 6.00/mo. on Linux VPS

VPS SM is a Swedish KVM VPS plan with 2 vCPU Processor, 8 GB memory, 100 GB NVMe SSD storage and 5 TB monthly bandwidth. The annual billing rate is EUR 6.00 per month equivalent, billed EUR 72.00 per year, and the monthly billing rate is EUR 7.50 per month. CPU, RAM and storage are dedicated to the virtual server, and the plan can be upgraded later from the billing panel without reinstalling; a restart is needed after the upgrade.

The VPS platform runs on Swedish servers in Stockholm, with HostUp-owned hardware and a KVM virtualization layer. Storage uses 100 percent NVMe devices with RAID-10 performance characteristics and 3-way Ceph replication, so each file is stored in three places. Seven backups are included, and the platform is intended for predictable monthly pricing with no extra mandatory fees. The VPS control panel provides a dashboard, quick access, cost overview, BYO ISO, domain plus VPS management and more than 280 API endpoints. Access is available through VNC and secure browser console, which is useful when network access is broken or a password is forgotten. The service can run Linux distributions including AlmaLinux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, openSUSE Leap, Oracle Linux, Arch Linux, Rocky Linux and CloudLinux, and custom ISO upload is also possible. Common use cases include website hosting, game servers, application hosting, private VPN servers, ecommerce platforms, database hosting, isolated testing environments and streaming services. DDoS protection with scrubbing is included, MailChannels smart host mail relay is available, and advanced networking supports private VLANs and routed IPv6. The Swedish location provides low latency for Nordic users, the platform lists 25 Gbps internet speed, and the VPS uptime guarantee is 99.9 percent. Each additional IPv4 address costs EUR 2.00 per month when available, IPv6 is free with a default /48 subnet, extra NVMe storage can be ordered at EUR 0.03 per GB per month, and additional bandwidth is listed at EUR 1.00 per TB per month. Annual billing gives a 20 percent lower monthly equivalent than monthly billing.
