📄 Editorial Review

Retzor is a budget-minded infrastructure provider with a practical promise: fast provisioning, simple self-service, and hardware that favors price-to-performance. Operating since 2008, they focus on virtual servers (VPS/VDS) and dedicated machines delivered from data centers in the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and Russia. The pitch is utilitarian—get a server within minutes, manage it yourself from a single panel, and scale resources without waiting on tickets.

Footprint & Positioning

They run services out of multiple European locations, with the Czech Republic and Netherlands advertised in Tier III facilities and Russia offered as a configurable site. Retzor’s stance is deliberately lean: automation first, minimal friction, and a clear line drawn against abusive or illegal use. Reported scale (thousands of active VPS and over a thousand dedicated servers) suggests a mature, volume-oriented operation.

Virtual Servers (VPS/VDS)

Retzor’s VPS stack is built on KVM virtualization, typically on HP DL360 Gen9 hosts with NVMe SSD storage and DDR4 RAM. Plans start around €2/month, aimed at lightweight services or lab workloads. The control panel allows quick resource changes, one-click OS reinstalls, and VNC console access even if the instance loses network reachability. Longer terms carry discounts (5%/10%/15% for 3/6/12 months respectively), which suits stable, always-on projects.

Dedicated Servers

Dedicated options are split by region and fulfillment mode. In the Netherlands and Czech Republic, several dual-Xeon E5 configurations are available for automatic issuance (about an hour) with 1 Gbps ports and 10 TB monthly transfer, using SSD or SSD+NVMe in RAID1. Example builds span from 20–28 cores (40–56 threads) and 128–384 GB ECC RAM. Russia is positioned for custom configurations starting near €40/month, with typical delivery in 1–3 business days. A convenient panel handles OS reinstalls and basic lifecycle tasks after delivery.

Performance & Hardware Profile

This is classic enterprise gear optimised for value: Intel Xeon E5 v2/v3/v4 CPUs, ECC memory, and NVMe SSDs on a 1 Gbps edge. It won’t match the very latest silicon, but for many workloads the combination of NVMe storage and sensible core counts is compelling—especially at the listed price points.

Provisioning, Billing & Service Model

Provisioning is the headline: automatic issuance within minutes for VPS and roughly an hour for many dedicated SKUs. Payments clear automatically, and services appear without waiting for manual intervention. If a newly paid server is not delivered, they commit to a refund within 24 hours—a simple, outcome-based policy that fits the automation theme.

Security & Operations

Retzor emphasises "reliable equipment" and data-center-grade switching, with an explicit promise to support legitimate customers when issues arise. The offer is unmanaged by design; administrators retain full control via panel and console. If compliance or advanced hardening is critical, plan for your own security stack (firewalling, monitoring, backups).

Pricing, Uptime & Refunds

• Pricing: VPS from ~€2/month; dedicated from ~€100/month in NL/CZ and from ~€40/month in Russia (custom builds). Longer terms add tiered discounts.
• Money-back: they state refunds if a server is not delivered within 24 hours. A broader money-back window isn’t advertised.
• Uptime: no explicit uptime percentage or SLA is published; availability expectations should be clarified before production use.

Backups & Extras

Daily backups are not outlined as an included feature. Given the self-service posture, treat snapshotting and off-box backups as your responsibility. Likewise, confirm any DDoS options, additional IPs, and port upgrades (some dedicated plans mention up to 1 Gbps; check if higher ports are available).

Who It Suits

• Developers and operators who value fast, automated provisioning and hands-on control.
• Cost-sensitive projects that still need NVMe storage and reasonable core counts.
• Workloads that can live happily on older Xeon platforms without bleeding-edge CPUs.

Caveats

• Hardware generations skew older; CPU-bound or AVX-heavy tasks may prefer newer platforms.
• Backups, DDoS profiles, and compliance attestations aren’t detailed—plan to self-manage.
