**If you'd rather pay once and forget about invoices, Echelon VPS sells NVMe KVM servers in 12-month terms paid up front in crypto: €22.80 for a whole year of Nano (1 vCPU, 2 GB DDR5 ECC, 25 GB NVMe, 2 TB), €37.20 for Micro, €66 for Base (4 vCPU, 8 GB).** No KYC — an email address is enough — and nothing ever auto-charges, because Echelon keeps no payment method on file.

## A year of server, paid once

| Plan | Paid once for 12 months | Works out per month | 6-month term instead |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Nano** — 1 vCPU, 2 GB, 25 GB | **€22.80** | €1.90 | €14.40 (€2.40/mo) |
| **Micro** — 2 vCPU, 4 GB, 50 GB | **€37.20** | €3.10 | €23.40 (€3.90/mo) |
| **Base** — 4 vCPU, 8 GB, 100 GB | **€66.00** | €5.50 | €41.40 (€6.90/mo) |
| **Work** — 6 vCPU, 16 GB, 200 GB | **€124.80** | €10.40 | €77.40 (€12.90/mo) |
| **Forge** — 8 vCPU, 32 GB, 400 GB | **€226.80** | €18.90 | €143.40 (€23.90/mo) |

Six-month terms exist too, at a slightly higher monthly rate — useful to test before committing a year. Either way, a first payment is fully refundable within 72 hours.

## Why yearly is cheaper

Monthly billing carries costs that end up in the price: churn, payment retries, capacity kept warm for customers who may not return, and — with crypto — a network fee every single month. Selling terms lets Echelon buy hardware against known demand and pass the saving on. For you it also means one on-chain payment a year instead of twelve.

- If you let the term lapse, the server is suspended and kept intact for 10 days before deletion.
