*📜 Plan description

Fully managed all-SSD VPS that starts with 30GB storage, 4GB RAM, 1 vCPU and 8TB monthly bandwidth, with easy in-place scaling to larger resource profiles as your needs grow. Premium features are included: host unlimited sites, create unlimited custom email addresses with spam filtering and sieve rules, use browsable external backups, and deploy free Let’s Encrypt SSL with a simple interface. The development stack spans Apache, PHP, Python, Node.js, Ruby, Java/OpenJDK, Git, MySQL, Postfix and Dovecot, with IPv6 support via AAAA records and a documented reverse-proxy pattern for app routing. Pricing begins at $20 per month on annual billing; you can upgrade or downgrade anytime without fees and only pay the prorated difference. The service is managed—Pair operates server software, hardware, network uptime and security—while you focus on sites and apps from a streamlined in-house control panel.

Every VPS plan includes 24×7 support, all-SSD storage, 8TB bandwidth, free SSL certificates, automatic malware scanning, unlimited email, available browsable backups, and a 100-day money-back guarantee for new accounts. You can scale RAM, CPU, and disk without migrations, benefit from datacenter-class processors and memory, and rely on a custom control panel instead of third-party licensing. The platform is tuned for reliability, privacy, and performance, giving small businesses and agencies predictable resources and operational simplicity.

📄 Editorial Review

Pair Networks is a long-running U.S. hosting company active since the mid-1990s (operating since 1996, founded by Kevin Martin). Over nearly three decades they have expanded to a global footprint across six continents and 150+ countries, hosting 140,000+ domains. Their positioning emphasizes transparency (no hidden fees or term contracts), reliability, and in-house, U.S.-based support with 0 outsourced workers.

Their product lineup covers Shared Hosting, Managed WordPress Hosting, VPS Hosting, Domain Registration, SSL certificates (PairSSL and Let’s Encrypt), PairCDN, Pair Platinum Mail (dedicated email hosting), and web design & maintenance via PairedUp. Shared plans aim at small sites and hobby projects with unlimited hosted sites/domains, SSL, malware scanning, and a WordPress installation manager. Managed WordPress adds staging, automatic core updates, configurable off-server backups, and a security plugin on an infrastructure tuned for speed and stability (including NGINX).

VPS brings guaranteed resources on all-SSD nodes, an extensive developer toolchain (Apache, MySQL, Node.js, Git, Java/OpenJDK, IPv6, and more), reverse-proxy support, and simple scaling without upgrade/downgrade fees. Email can be run on Pair Platinum Mail with sizeable mailbox quotas and strong authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), while PairCDN offers a low-cost way to accelerate static content globally. Note that Dedicated Servers are no longer offered as of 2025 (they were part of the portfolio in earlier years).
