*📜 Plan description
Entry VPS with 8 GB RAM, 160 GB SSD storage, 2 vCPU on Intel Xeon Silver and 4 TB/mo outbound transfer. Price shown is the lowest monthly equivalent ($5.50/mo) derived from the $66/year rate when you choose the 3-year billing cycle; monthly and annual terms are available at higher rates. Includes a dedicated IPv4 address plus free IPv6, instant deployment, and full root access. Designed for hobby projects, light websites, small databases and learning Linux KVM on real infrastructure without managed overhead.
All SSD Nodes VPS plans run on KVM virtualization with enterprise hardware (Intel Xeon Silver/Gold CPUs, RAID-10 arrays and NVMe on performance tiers), multi-10 Gbps networking and DDoS filtering. Service is self-managed with 24×7 ticket/email support. Snapshot add-on is available (provider notes snapshots aren’t a substitute for verified backups). Global regions include US (Seattle, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, New York), UK (London), NL (Amsterdam), DE (Frankfurt), IN (Mumbai), SG (Singapore), JP (Tokyo), AU (Sydney) and CA (Toronto). A 14-day money-back window is offered for new VPS purchases, and the SLA states 100% uptime for public network, power and HVAC. Prices are tax-exclusive and the best rates require longer billing cycles.

📄 Editorial Review
SSD Nodes (founded in 2011; parent: Strasmore, Inc.) focuses squarely on cloud VPS for developers, startups, and growing teams. They do not sell shared hosting or dedicated servers, which keeps the product line streamlined but may limit fit for customers who want fully managed shared plans or bare-metal.Their VPS platform runs on KVM virtualization with SSD/NVMe storage in RAID-10, Intel E5/Silver (and newer enterprise) CPUs, and network ports up to 10 Gbps. Deployments support popular Linux distributions (CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian), include full root access and a dedicated public IPv4, and allow in-place upgrades without downtime.
A notable differentiator is Vippy (currently v7), SSD Nodes’ in-house virtualization stack that aims to optimize resource sharing and isolation on top of KVM. Marketing also highlights low-latency networking (multiple Tier-1 partners, packet scrubbing/DDoS protection), and optional nested virtualization for running hypervisors inside your VPS—useful for labs, Android emulators, or CI/CD scenarios.
Beyond general-purpose VPS, they court specific use cases (databases, e-commerce, content delivery, and game servers such as Minecraft, CS:GO, ARK, Valheim, Terraria) where fast NVMe disks and high clock speed matter. If you need managed stacks, you’ll bring your own tooling—SSD Nodes publishes tutorials for lightweight control panels and common setups but keeps the service unmanaged by default.
