01 — Performance
We buy the fastest silicon and refuse to oversell it
Every hypervisor keeps twenty percent of its cores and memory unallocated. When your neighbour spikes, nothing happens to you. That is the whole trick, and almost nobody pays for it.
Zen 5 at 5.9 GHz, pinned
One vCPU is one physical core with its own L2 slice. No fair-share scheduler, no steal time, no surprises at 3 a.m.
PCIe Gen5 NVMe in RAID10
14.9 GB/s sequential and over a million sustained IOPS per node. Your database stops being disk-bound.
DDR5 ECC, never overcommitted
Memory ballooning is disabled on every plan. What you buy is physically reserved for you.
Route-optimised transit
Four tier-1 carriers per PoP plus direct IX peering. We drop a carrier when its p95 latency drifts, not when the contract ends.
Single-core score, higher is better
Geekbench 6 single-core, median of 40 runs on production nodes.
02 — Hardware
Server families
Six lines, one price list, every location. Switch families later without rebuilding: we migrate the volume live.

03 — Billing
Two prices, and the annual one is thirty percent lower
There is no hourly billing, no negotiated rate and no sales call. You pay monthly, or annually at 30% off. Servers ordered together take another 3, 6 or 10% off the whole invoice, so a ten-server annual order settles 37% below the monthly list price.
€5.90
Monthly
The list price. Cancel from the dashboard at the end of any period, no notice required.
€4.13
Annual, −30%
One invoice, one renewal date, one settlement. This is the real price of the platform; the monthly rate carries the cost of billing you twelve times.
−37%
Fleet, up to −10% more
Applied automatically from 3 servers on the same invoice. Nothing to ask for, and nobody gets a better rate for negotiating.
04 — Privacy
An email address. That is the entire signup.
We are a hosting company, not a bank. We do not ask for your passport, your selfie, your phone number or your company registration. We never have, and the business model does not require it.
Lawful use only. We answer valid legal process from the jurisdiction where the hardware sits, and we publish a transparency report twice a year.
No identity documents
Nothing to upload, nothing to leak. Our support desk cannot request one either.
No card, no bank rail
Crypto settlement through OxaPay. Ten assets, dozens of networks, no chargeback exposure.
Minimal logs by design
Access logs rotate at 72 hours. We keep what billing and abuse handling strictly require, and nothing else.
Anonymous by default
Register with a throwaway address. Add a PGP key and we will encrypt every message we send you.
05 — Footprint
36 cities. 33 countries. One flat price list.
Pick a jurisdiction the way you pick a CPU: deliberately. Every PoP below is live, with its own transit mix, its own legal regime and its own latency profile.

06 — Configuration
48 operating systems. 24 of them nobody else will install for you.
Plan 9, Haiku, SmartOS, DragonFly BSD, OpenIndiana, RouterOS, Whonix. If it boots on KVM we will put it in the image library, and if it does not, upload your own ISO.

07 — Proof
Run the same test we did
Every figure on this site comes from a script you can run yourself on your own instance within a minute of it booting. If your numbers do not match, open a ticket and we will move you to another node.

08 — Operators
Who runs on CrestVPS
Nine years of it. A quiet customer base of engineers who compare invoices to fio output.
We moved forty CI runners off a hyperscaler and the build time went down while the bill went down. I have been doing this for twenty years and that combination is rare.
Platform lead
Fintech, Berlin
The p99 storage latency is the only number I care about and it is the only one most hosts will not publish. These people put it on the homepage.
Database engineer
Analytics, Singapore
I asked a question at two in the morning about NUMA pinning and got an answer from someone who had clearly read the ticket. That does not happen anywhere else at this price.
Independent operator
Game hosting, Sao Paulo
Signup was an email address and a Monero payment. The server was up before I had finished writing the ansible playbook for it.
Security researcher
Undisclosed
Ninety seconds from here to root.
Pick a city, pick an image, pay in whatever you hold. No forms, no waiting room, no human in the loop.
