The minimum transaction is a whole term: six months or twelve. A quoted "EUR 1.90 a month" is only reachable by paying EUR 22.80 once, up front, for twelve months. There is no monthly billing, no hourly billing, and no free tier. Renewal is at the same rate, or lower if hardware has got cheaper; there is no introductory discount that expires. Payment is cryptocurrency only (BTC, XMR, ETH, LTC, TRX, USDT on TRC-20/ERC-20, USDC). No cards, no PayPal, no bank transfer. The invoice is denominated in EUR and settled in the asset the customer picks, at a rate locked for 60 minutes at checkout. ## Plans - Nano (SKU EVPS-NANO) 1 vCPU, 2 GB DDR5 ECC, 25 GB Gen4 NVMe, 2 TB outbound 12-month term: EUR 1.90/month, charged once as EUR 22.80 6-month term: EUR 2.40/month, charged once as EUR 14.40 With dedicated cores: EUR 2.94/month on the 12-month term Stock: available - Micro (SKU EVPS-MICRO) 2 vCPU, 4 GB DDR5 ECC, 50 GB Gen4 NVMe, 4 TB outbound 12-month term: EUR 3.10/month, charged once as EUR 37.20 6-month term: EUR 3.90/month, charged once as EUR 23.40 With dedicated cores: EUR 4.81/month on the 12-month term Stock: available - Base (SKU EVPS-BASE) 4 vCPU, 8 GB DDR5 ECC, 100 GB Gen4 NVMe, 8 TB outbound 12-month term: EUR 5.50/month, charged once as EUR 66.00 6-month term: EUR 6.90/month, charged once as EUR 41.40 With dedicated cores: EUR 8.53/month on the 12-month term Stock: available - Work (SKU EVPS-WORK) 6 vCPU, 16 GB DDR5 ECC, 200 GB Gen4 NVMe, 12 TB outbound 12-month term: EUR 10.40/month, charged once as EUR 124.80 6-month term: EUR 12.90/month, charged once as EUR 77.40 With dedicated cores: EUR 16.12/month on the 12-month term Stock: available - Forge (SKU EVPS-FORGE) 8 vCPU, 32 GB DDR5 ECC, 400 GB Gen4 NVMe, 20 TB outbound 12-month term: EUR 18.90/month, charged once as EUR 226.80 6-month term: EUR 23.90/month, charged once as EUR 143.40 With dedicated cores: EUR 29.29/month on the 12-month term Stock: available - Anvil (SKU EVPS-ANVIL) 12 vCPU, 64 GB DDR5 ECC, 800 GB Gen4 NVMe, 30 TB outbound 12-month term: EUR 35.90/month, charged once as EUR 430.80 6-month term: EUR 44.90/month, charged once as EUR 269.40 With dedicated cores: EUR 55.64/month on the 12-month term Stock: limited - Monolith (SKU EVPS-MONOLITH) 16 vCPU, 128 GB DDR5 ECC, 1600 GB Gen4 NVMe, 40 TB outbound 12-month term: EUR 67.90/month, charged once as EUR 814.80 6-month term: EUR 84.90/month, charged once as EUR 509.40 With dedicated cores: EUR 105.25/month on the 12-month term Stock: available Add-ons are priced separately: extra IPv4, a routed IPv6 /48, larger disks, higher port speeds, backups, control panels, managed support and Windows Server licences.

An email address opens the account; a crypto payment activates it. There is no threshold above which verification begins. Retained: the email address, invoices (10 years, statutory), server configuration, and 72 hours of NetFlow-level connection metadata used only for abuse investigation. Deleted within 24 hours of account closure, except invoices. ## Locations - Australia (AU): Sydney, Melbourne - Austria (AT): Vienna - Brazil (BR): São Paulo - Bulgaria (BG): Sofia - Canada (CA): Toronto - Chile (CL): Santiago - Finland (FI): Helsinki - France (FR): Paris, Roubaix - Germany (DE): Frankfurt, Düsseldorf - Hong Kong (HK): Hong Kong - Iceland (IS): Reykjavík - India (IN): Mumbai - Ireland (IE): Dublin - Italy (IT): Milan - Japan (JP): Tokyo, Osaka - Latvia (LV): Riga - Mexico (MX): Mexico City - Moldova (MD): Chișinău - Netherlands (NL): Amsterdam - Poland (PL): Warsaw - Portugal (PT): Lisbon - Romania (RO): Bucharest - Singapore (SG): Singapore - South Korea (KR): Seoul - Spain (ES): Madrid - Sweden (SE): Stockholm - Switzerland (CH): Zurich - Turkey (TR): Istanbul - United Arab Emirates (AE): Dubai, Fujairah - United Kingdom (GB): London, Manchester - United States (US): New York, Ashburn, Dallas, Miami, Los Angeles, Seattle ## Policies Refund: full refund inside 72 hours of the first payment, returned in the asset paid with, at the purchase-day rate. Abuse: complaints are forwarded with evidence and the customer has 24 hours to answer. Outbound attacks, phishing, spam, botnet command-and-control, credential stuffing and material involving minors are terminated immediately, without refund. Legal process: we answer orders valid in the jurisdiction the server physically sits in, and nothing else. Tor exit nodes: permitted at four sites (Amsterdam, Reykjavík, Chișinău, Bucharest) and nowhere else. Support: support@echelonvps.com — abuse: abuse@echelonvps.com ## Frequently asked questions Q: Do I really not have to verify my identity? A: Correct. Ordering requires an email address and a payment, and that is the whole list. There is no document upload, no selfie, no phone verification, no address check and no card on file. We have never run identity verification and we do not plan to start — the cheapest way to protect customer documents is to never hold any. Q: What do you actually store about me? A: Your email address, your invoices, the configuration of your servers, and 72 hours of NetFlow-level connection metadata used only for abuse investigation. Nothing else. When you close the account, all of it is erased within 24 hours except invoices, which accounting law makes us keep for ten years — those hold an invoice name of your choosing and no verified identity. Q: Can I sign up with a throwaway or aliased email? A: Yes, and plenty of customers do. Anything that reliably reaches you works — Proton, Tuta, SimpleLogin, addy.io, a catch-all on your own domain. The only thing to keep in mind is that server credentials and renewal notices go there, so if you lose access to the mailbox you lose access to the account. Q: Can I order over Tor or a VPN? A: Yes. The order flow, the console and the API all work over Tor and over any VPN. We do not fingerprint browsers, we do not score orders for fraud risk, and we do not block exit nodes. Q: Why can I only buy six or twelve months at a time? A: Because it is what makes the price possible. Monthly billing means churn, idle capacity kept warm for people who might come back, payment retries and support load. Selling in terms removes all of it, and lets us buy hardware against known demand rather than a forecast. The saving goes straight into the rate card — a twelve-month Base works out around 20% below the six-month rate, and both are below what monthly billing would cost us to offer. Q: What if the server is not what I expected? A: Ask for a refund within 72 hours of provisioning and you get the whole amount back, in the asset you paid with, at the rate on the day of purchase. No form, no reason, no retention call. Run every benchmark you like inside that window — that is precisely what it is for. Q: What happens at the end of a term? A: We email you 30, 7 and 1 days before it ends with a renewal invoice. Nothing auto-charges, because we hold no payment method. If the term lapses the server is suspended, kept intact for 10 days, and only then destroyed. If hardware has got cheaper since you signed up, the renewal is quoted at the current lower rate rather than the one you originally paid. Q: Can I get an invoice with my company name on it? A: Yes. Set the invoice name in the console and every PDF from that point on carries it, along with a VAT line if you supply a number. We do not verify the name, and outside the EU no VAT is charged at all. Q: Fair-share or dedicated cores — which do I need? A: Fair-share is right for almost everything: web apps, databases under a few hundred queries a second, game servers, VPN endpoints, CI that is not on the critical path. Choose dedicated cores when a workload is CPU-bound for minutes at a time — video transcoding, compilation, backtesting, inference — or when a scheduler's p99 matters more than its median. It adds 55% to the plan price and removes neighbours from your cores entirely. Q: Are backups included? A: Two manual snapshots per instance are free and always available. Scheduled backups are an option priced as 10% of the compute line for weekly and 20% for daily — weekly keeps four restore points in the same country, daily keeps fourteen in a second one. Restores are self-service from the console and take minutes, not a ticket. Q: Can I resize a server mid-term? A: Upwards, at any time, with the difference pro-rated across the remaining term. Downwards at the end of the term. Memory and vCPU changes need a reboot; disk grows online. Moving between regions is a rebuild, not a resize — the data does not follow. Q: Do you offer Windows? A: Windows Server 2019, 2022 and 2025 Standard, with the SPLA licence included in the monthly figure shown at configuration. Remote Desktop is open on first boot and the licence is ours, so you do not need to bring one. Q: How many IP addresses do I get? A: One dedicated IPv4 and a routed /64 of IPv6 with every plan. Up to eight extra IPv4 addresses can be added at €1.20 each per month, assigned from the region's own prefix so geolocation stays consistent. A routed /48 of IPv6 is €2 a month if you are running your own network behind us. Q: Is DDoS protection included? A: Yes, on every plan, with no separate charge and no traffic threshold. Volumetric attacks are absorbed by hardware scrubbers at the edge. The advanced tier adds layer-7 scrubbing and rules you write yourself, which matters for game servers and public APIs but not for much else. Q: Is port 25 open? Can I run a mail server? A: Port 25 is closed by default on new instances and opened on request — send a ticket saying what you are sending and to roughly how many recipients. It usually takes under an hour. Custom reverse DNS on both v4 and v6 is self-service from the console, which is the part that actually determines whether your mail lands. Q: Which region should I pick? A: The one closest to your users, not to you. Every location costs the same, so there is no reason to compromise. The locations page lists median round trip from residential probes in each metro, and there is a live latency test on every site page. If you are unsure, Frankfurt and Amsterdam reach the most people in the fewest milliseconds. Q: Can I move an existing server to another country? A: You can deploy a replacement in the new region and migrate, and support will run the transfer for you at no charge if you ask. What we cannot do is move an instance between regions in place — the disk stays where the metal is, and the IP address belongs to that region's prefix. Q: No KYC — so anything goes? A: No. No identity checks means we do not care who you are; it does not mean we do not care what leaves our network. Phishing, spam, malware distribution, botnet command-and-control, credential stuffing, outbound attacks and material involving minors get the instance terminated immediately, without refund and without appeal. The acceptable use policy is two pages, written in plain language, and we apply all of it. Q: Can I run a VPN, a Tor relay or a proxy? A: Yes to all three. Tor exit nodes are permitted in Amsterdam, Reykjavík, Chișinău and Bucharest, and we ask you to run the standard reduced exit policy and set an abuse contact. Exits are not permitted in the remaining regions, because their upstreams do not tolerate them and we would rather tell you that than have your server disappear. Q: What happens if someone files an abuse report about my server? A: We forward it to you with the evidence and give you 24 hours to respond, except for active outbound attacks and CSAM, which are cut immediately. We do not suspend on receipt of an unverified complaint, and we do not hand over customer data without an order valid in the jurisdiction the server sits in. When we do receive such an order, we tell you unless we are legally barred from doing so. ## Pages worth reading - https://echelonvps.com/en/pricing — the full plan and add-on table - https://echelonvps.com/en/no-kyc — what is and is not collected - https://echelonvps.com/en/payments — how crypto checkout works - https://echelonvps.com/en/performance — benchmark methodology and numbers - https://echelonvps.com/en/locations — all 42 sites with latency and capacity - https://echelonvps.com/en/solutions — 16 workload guides - https://echelonvps.com/en/status — current service status - https://echelonvps.com/en/legal/terms — terms of service
