For anyone comparing VPS providers
VPS comparison: what actually matters
A VPS is more than its price per vCPU. Term, location, billing and who answers when something breaks decide whether a server fits your project. Here is what ITSH includes in every plan, and what it does not yet.
The plans
| Plan | vCPU | RAM | Storage | Snapshots | Maximum per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VServer S | 2 | 4 GB | 60 GB | 2 | €7.99 |
| VServer M | 4 | 8 GB | 120 GB | 3 | €14.99 |
| VServer L | 8 | 16 GB | 240 GB | 3 | €29.99 |
| VServer XL | 12 | 32 GB | 360 GB | 5 | €54.99 |
Prices incl. 19% VAT. The first month is paid when you order, after that we bill hourly, never more than the monthly price.
What to compare
| Criterion | What to look for | At ITSH, in every plan |
|---|---|---|
| Term | Is there a minimum term that locks you in? | No minimum term. |
| Billing | Do you pay full months or actual usage? | First month at order, then hourly, never more than the monthly price. |
| Location | Which country are the servers in, and who runs them? | Data centre in Germany, operated by a German company. |
| IPv4 and IPv6 | Is an IPv4 address included, is there IPv6? | 1 IPv4 address and an IPv6 /112 network per server. |
| Snapshots | Can you save a state before an update? | 2 to 5 snapshots per server depending on the plan, see the plan table. |
| Backups | Is your data backed up automatically to another location? | Not offered yet. See the note below. |
| Emergency access | Can you reach the server when SSH stops working? | Web console in the customer portal. |
| Sizes and images | Can you pick custom sizes or boot your own image? | Fixed plans S to XL with our operating system templates. |
| Support | In which language, and do you reach someone who knows the system? | By ticket in German or English, directly from the operator. |
To be upfront: backups are not available yet
Our VServers do not include automatic backups at the moment. You can keep 2 to 5 snapshots per server depending on the plan, for example before an update. A snapshot is not a replacement for a backup in another location. If your data matters, back it up externally as well.
