    Every VPS gets up to 1 Gbit/s as standard, with up to 2.5 Gbit/s available at checkout.

  6. Choice of OS

    Reinstall to any supported operating system from the panel in a couple of clicks.

The InstantNode panel

A control panel that does
the heavy lifting

Every server comes with a modern panel. Install apps, schedule backups, manage your firewall and share access - all without touching a terminal.

A server in the InstantNode panel: specs, live resources, SSH access, billing and one-click management

App Installer

160+ self-hosted apps in one click - Nextcloud, WordPress, Grafana, game servers and more. Deploy them via Docker straight from the panel.

Backups on your schedule

Daily backups at the hour you choose, with up to three retained. Restore with one click, or download the full archive anytime.

Team access

Share server management by email. Grant granular permissions - power, backups, files, console or settings - per person.

Built-in firewall

Open or block ports instantly from the panel. Rules apply at the host level - no iptables required.

Usage history & traffic

See CPU, RAM and network graphs from the last hour to the last month. Traffic totals are included for any window.

Reverse DNS (PTR)

Set PTR records for your IPs right in the panel. It matters for mail servers that need good deliverability.

Console & file manager

Use the web console and full file manager right in your browser. Edit, upload and manage files without an SSH client.

Root password reset

Locked out? Set a new root password from the panel. The server keeps running - no rescue mode needed.

99.9% availability

Backed by our SLA with pro-rata credits and a public live status page at status.instantnode.eu.

Perfect for

Workloads that notice CPU jitter

- and stop noticing it on dedicated cores.

Web apps & APIs

Host Node.js, Python, PHP or Go services with full control over the stack. NVMe keeps response times low.

Game backends

Run matchmaking, game APIs or community services on dedicated vCPU cores with DDoS protection in front.

Discord bots

Keep your bots online 24/7 with root access for any library, runtime or database they need.

Dev & staging

Spin up a clean environment in seconds, test your deployment, then resize or reinstall whenever you like.

Databases

MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis and friends love fast NVMe storage and DDR4 ECC RAM.

VPN & self-hosting

Your own WireGuard endpoint, ad-blocker, password manager or media stack - private and under your control.

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Our support team answers on Discord and by ticket.

What does "dedicated cores" actually mean?
Your VM is pinned to specific physical EPYC cores on the host and gets top scheduling priority on them. Unlike a shared vCPU, your compute does not wobble when a neighbor gets busy - performance is the same at 3 a.m. and at peak hour. The pool of dedicated cores is finite; when it is sold out we say so instead of overselling.
VDS or regular KVM VPS - which one do I need?
For websites, bots, small game servers and dev boxes, a KVM VPS is the better deal. Pick a VDS when your workload is latency-sensitive under sustained load: busy game servers, databases, CI runners, panels hosting several services. We wrote an honest comparison on the blog.
Can I resize my VDS later?
VDS plans are fixed presets - that is what makes the core pool plannable. To grow, deploy a bigger plan and move over (the Server Importer makes that painless), or open a ticket and we will help with the switch.
Is DDoS protection included?
Yes. Always-on DDoS mitigation is included with every VDS at no extra cost.
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept PayPal, cryptocurrencies and your InstantNode account balance. Card payments are currently not available.
