VPS Low Cost: Professional Performance Starting from €5
In the hosting world, the word “budget” is often synonymous with “compromise.” Slow shared hosting, limited resources, noisy neighbors. But what if we told you that you can get a private virtual server with guaranteed resources, ultra-fast storage, and full control for a price lower than two coffees? It’s not a gimmick—it’s our philosophy: making professional technology accessible to everyone. In this guide, we’ll show you why our €5/month budget VPS isn’t a fallback solution, but the first step toward an enterprise-grade infrastructure.
What “Budget” Means to Us: Value, Not Compromises
When we designed our entry-level VPS plan, the goal wasn’t to create the cheapest VPS on the market, but the one with the best value for money. Instead of cutting corners on crucial components, we optimized every aspect of our infrastructure so you get—even on the base plan—the same technologies as our higher tiers. That means that even with our €5 VPS, you get:
- NVMe SSD RAID 10 Storage: The fastest and safest storage technology available, included as standard.
- Proprietary DDoS Protection: The same advanced protection that defends our most expensive dedicated servers.
- KVM Virtualization: Full hardware virtualization for complete isolation and stable performance.
- Full Control Panel: Self-service reboots, reinstalls, and snapshots.
We don’t sacrifice quality for price. We simply made quality accessible.
| Component | BL1 VPS Specs (€5/month) | Why It’s Exceptional Value |
|---|---|---|
| vCPU | 2 Cores | Enough power to run WordPress sites, lightweight applications, and development servers. |
| RAM | 4 GB | Plenty of memory for a smooth OS and your apps, without swapping. |
| Storage | 60 GB NVMe SSD RAID 10 | Ultra-fast, redundant storage—something you won’t find on any other VPS in this price range. |
| Bandwidth | 25 TB/month | Massive bandwidth to handle traffic spikes with no extra costs. |
| Uplink | 2 Gbit/s | A very fast network connection to serve your content without bottlenecks. |
Comparison: Budget VPS (€5) vs Top Shared Hosting (~€10)
You might think: “Why not shared hosting that costs double but promises unlimited resources?” The answer is the difference between “unlimited” resources (marketing) and “guaranteed” resources (reality).
| Feature | Servereasy Budget VPS (€5) | Top Shared Hosting (~€10) |
|---|---|---|
| CPU/RAM Resources | Guaranteed and isolated (2 vCores, 4GB RAM) | Shared with hundreds of other sites, vulnerable to “noisy neighbors.” |
| Storage | 60 GB NVMe SSD RAID 10 (ultra-fast and secure) | Often SATA SSD or even HDD, with inconsistent performance. |
| IP Address | Dedicated, just for you. Improves reputation and email deliverability. | Shared with other sites. If one site sends spam, your reputation suffers too. |
| Configuration Freedom | Total. Root access, install any software you want (Node.js, Python, Docker). | Limited. You can only use what the provider pre-installs (PHP, MySQL). |
| Security | Isolated environment. Issues on another VPS won’t affect you. DDoS protection included. | If a site on the same machine is hacked, yours may be at risk too. |
Who Is Our Budget VPS Perfect For?
- Students and Developers: A powerful, flexible testing and development environment without spending a fortune.
- Startups and Small Projects: Launch an idea on infrastructure that can scale as your business grows.
- Personal or Business WordPress Sites: A showcase site or blog that’s fast, secure, and professional.
- Hosting Lightweight Apps: Telegram bots, small APIs, automation scripts, Discord servers.
- Your First Step Beyond Shared Hosting: For anyone tired of shared hosting limits and inconsistent performance and ready to level up.
Servereasy answers
Is a €5 VPS powerful enough for a WordPress site?
Absolutely. Our €5 BL1 VPS plan includes 2 vCores, 4GB of RAM, and 60GB of NVMe SSD storage. It’s more than enough to run a WordPress site—even with a decent number of plugins and traffic—much faster and more consistently than any shared hosting plan.
What are the limits of a budget VPS?
Our budget VPS has no hidden limits, but it does have defined resources: 2 vCores, 4GB RAM, and 60GB storage. It’s perfect to get started, but if your project grows and needs more power (e.g., an e-commerce site with thousands of products or a complex application), you can easily upgrade to a higher plan with a single click in our panel—no migration required.
Why should I choose a €5 VPS instead of €10 shared hosting?
For three key reasons: performance, security, and freedom. With our VPS you get guaranteed resources (no “noisy neighbors”), ultra-fast NVMe storage, a dedicated IP address, and full freedom to install the software you want. Shared hosting—even if it costs more—gives you shared resources, inconsistent performance, and plenty of limitations.
Is the storage really NVMe SSD even on the €5 plan?
Yes. This is one of our most important strategic decisions. Unlike other providers, we don’t use slower SATA SSDs on budget plans. We offer the same ultra-fast, secure storage technology (NVMe SSD in RAID 10) across our entire VPS lineup, from the smallest to the largest. Performance is not an optional extra.
Can I install a control panel like cPanel or Plesk?
Yes. You have full root access to your VPS, so you can install any control panel you want. We offer cPanel and Plesk licenses at competitive prices, or you can choose free alternatives like HestiaCP or Webmin. The choice is yours.
What happens if my site gets a traffic spike?
Our base plan includes 25TB of monthly traffic on a 2 Gbit/s uplink—an enormous amount that covers the vast majority of use cases. Your VPS can handle sudden traffic spikes without slowdowns, unlike shared hosting which often imposes much tighter limits.
Is it hard to manage a VPS if I’m coming from shared hosting?
There’s a learning curve, but we provide plenty of tools to make it easier. Our control panel lets you reboot, reinstall the OS, and create snapshots with one click. Plus, our knowledge base and technical support are always available to help. If you prefer not to manage it yourself, we also offer system administration services (SysAdmin).
Is DDoS protection included in the price?
Yes. Every service we provide—including the €5 VPS—is protected by our always-on proprietary DDoS mitigation infrastructure, included in the price. Security is a standard, not an extra cost.
