Which processor can I choose?

AMD EPYC / Ryzen is offered for new VPS instances. The console and API show available processor platforms for your account; Intel Xeon availability is controlled separately. CLI creation requires --cpu-platform, for example --cpu-platform amd.

What is the difference between shared and dedicated CPU?

Shared plans share CPU capacity with other workloads. Dedicated plans reserve their vCPU allocation. Both give you your own virtual machine and root access.

Which operating systems are available?

The current catalog includes Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Fedora, Alpine Linux. See the operating system options on this page for their versions, or run danube vps images for image identifiers.

How does VPS billing work?

VPS plans are billed hourly with a monthly cap. Stopping a deployed VM does not end billing because its resources remain allocated. Delete the VM when you no longer need it, and review separately billed backups and other resources.

How do I access and protect my VPS?

Add an SSH key when creating your VM and connect over SSH. Configure firewall rules for the ports your application needs, and create recovery points before making significant changes.

Is 10GI UpLink included?

10GI UpLink is an optional paid upgrade selected at creation on eligible VPS instances. It provides up to 10 Gbit/s shared across public and private networking, subject to availability. Existing traffic charges still apply.

What customers say

“As a developer and cloud enthusiast, I’ve tried a lot of infrastructure platforms — but DanubeData genuinely stands out as one of the most intuitive, modern, and reliable cloud services I’ve used. From signup to deployment, everything feels thoughtfully designed and developer-centric. Deploying a VPS, cache, or database instance takes under a minute — and that’s not an exaggeration! Their intuitive dashboard and instant provisioning make launching new services effortless, even if you’re just getting started with cloud infrastructure”

Keoma WrightCEO/Founder at OpenWeb.co.za

“I’m running my new project’s backend on DanubeData and the experience has been smooth from day one—deployment is fast, the dashboard feels genuinely developer-friendly, and everything has been stable with no issues so far. Any time I had a question or hit a small blocker, the support was excellent: quick to respond, clear in explanations, and focused on getting me unblocked rather than sending me in circles. If you want EU-based infrastructure without the usual DevOps friction, DanubeData delivers.”

Cristian TorzsaCEO at InnovaSoftware SRL

“ruby/Sinatra invoicing application on a Docker container. Danube data was an obvious choice given its incredibly user friendly dashboard and automatic deployment directly from my GitHub repository via webhook. I've used many other platforms (Google, AWS, Azure), but Danube is the clear winner in terms of ease to configure, clear and honest pricing not to mention the excellent response time. Everything works perfectly so I hardly ever have to pull up the dashboard since I moved to Danube Data.”

Stopping a VM keeps its resources allocated and does not end billing. Optional upgrades and backups are priced separately. See full pricing.

A server you can shape

Use the console for everyday operations, and keep control of the software inside your VM.

Run your own stack
A Linux VM with root access. Install your runtime, run containers or configure your own services.
NVMe storage
Each plan includes NVMe SSD storage. Choose the disk capacity alongside your vCPU and memory allocation.
Control your network
Manage firewall rules and connect services over private networking from the same console.
Keep a recovery point
Create snapshots and configure scheduled backups for your VPS. Review recovery options before making changes.
See resource usage
CPU, memory, disk I/O and network graphs help you understand how your workload uses its VM.
Optional 10GI UpLink
Choose the paid upgrade at creation on eligible instances for up to 10 Gbit/s shared across public and private networking. Availability and traffic charges apply.

Manage your fleet from the terminal

Create and inspect VPS instances with the danube CLI. Use the same API from your scripts and infrastructure tools.

List current images, then supply your plan and SSH key. The console and API list available processor platforms for your account.

Create a VPS

danube vps images

danube vps create \
  --name app-server \
  --image ubuntu-24.04 \
  --plan nano_shared \
  --cpu-platform amd \
  --ssh-key-id <key-id>

Use the instance ID returned by the CLI to inspect an individual VM.

Inspect your fleet

danube vps ls
danube vps get <id>
danube vps status <id>

Explore the CLI or manage infrastructure with Terraform.
