Introducing 10GI UpLink, and new pricing for dedicated VPS from 14 October 2026
Two announcements. 10GI UpLink is a new add-on that gives a PostgreSQL database, cache or serverless container up to 10 Gbit/s of network for €14.99 a month. And from 14 October 2026, new dedicated-vCPU VPS orders move to a new price list. If you already run a dedicated VPS with us, its price does not change. Shared plans and every other product stay exactly as they are.
