Pricing and Support
VPS.NET’s hosting plans come at competitive prices compared with top international VPS providers. The entry-level SSD VPS plan costs about the same as a few cups of coffee per month, and its 1 TB of monthly bandwidth is higher than you’ll get for this price from many competitors. You can easily upgrade or downgrade your current plan.
You can pay for plans on a monthly basis, with no contract, via PayPal or credit/debit card. For an additional fee, you can select an operating system and add server monitoring, or monitoring plus configuration.
