Cloud86 VPS hosting

Cloud86 VPS plans: Start, Medium and Power

Start is the entry plan for smaller workloads. It includes 3 vCPU cores, 6 GB of RAM and 50 GB of SSD storage, making it the natural fit for a smaller site or application that needs more resources than basic shared hosting.

Medium doubles those allocations to 6 vCPU cores, 12 GB of RAM and 100 GB of SSD storage. It is aimed at growing sites and applications. Power provides the largest tier: 8 vCPU cores, 24 GB of RAM and 200 GB of SSD storage, for heavier workloads or hosting multiple customer sites. Each tier also has backup storage matching its listed SSD capacity.

What stands out on Cloud86 Managed VPS

These are managed VPS plans: Cloud86 says it handles server maintenance and software updates and monitors services around the clock. Plesk is included, along with WordPress Toolkit and SSH access. Plesk also provides tools for managing clients, service plans and hosting templates, which may be useful to resellers. SSH access is documented, but the available information does not confirm root access or define every kind of application-level administration Cloud86 will perform.

Cloud86 lists HPE 3PAR Enterprise SSD storage, unlimited traffic and a high-availability cloud platform. Network port speed is not specified. Automatic daily backups cover files, databases and email, with seven-day retention and self-service restores through Plesk. Cloud86 also describes separate disaster-recovery support for server-level failures; that is distinct from restoring an individual site, database or mailbox.

The provider lists free SSL certificates, malware scans, a web application firewall, anti-bot protection and spam and virus protection. Its product information does not confirm DDoS protection or encryption at rest or in transit. The only confirmed location for this VPS product is the Netherlands, with no regional choice established. Cloud86 advertises that capacity can be scaled and that free website migration is available.

Prices, renewals and the guarantee

The cheapest plan currently starts at $230.04. Cloud86’s published introductory and longer-term discount guidance excludes Managed VPS, and the available information does not establish a VPS-specific introductory-to-renewal price pattern or whether a longer billing term changes the price. Product-specific billing periods and cancellation notice requirements are also unclear, so the live plan details are the best guide to the current offer.

The product page advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee. Cloud86 also describes automatic renewal in its general service guidance, but it is not confirmed how those general renewal rules apply to each Managed VPS plan.

Cloud86 compared with other VPS providers

For a managed service with more confirmed location choices, Flashcloud VPS advertises managed hosting in the US East, US West, Germany and Singapore. PlanetHoster VPS is another managed alternative, with France, Switzerland and Canada listed as regions. If a wider set of server regions matters more than location flexibility after setup, Hostinger VPS lists locations across Europe, Asia, North and South America, but says a VPS location is fixed after setup.
