OliveVPS delivers blistering NVMe VPS hosting and dedicated servers in 20+ global cities — backed by 24/7 humans and the watchful eyes of nine very serious cats.
Every VPS server we ship is engineered for speed, hardened against attacks, and looked after by people who actually answer your tickets.
Every plan ships on enterprise NVMe SSDs with 3GB/s+ read speeds. Boot in seconds, compile in milliseconds.
Free L3/L4 mitigation up to 10 Gbps on every plan, with optional L7 WAF for production workloads.
Deploy in New York, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Mumbai, São Paulo and 15 more — same panel, same price model.
Spin up Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, or Windows Server in under 30 seconds. APIs and Terraform included.
Daily encrypted backups retained for 14 days. One-click restore — because we learned the hard way too.
Median first-response time of 7 minutes. No bots, no scripts — just engineers who run servers themselves.
Start small with a $3.99 sandbox or scale to production. All VPS hosting plans share the same panel, the same network, and the same support team.
The hosting industry has a transparency problem. Every provider claims fast SSDs, 99.99% uptime, and "world-class support." Reality, for anyone who's been hacked, throttled, or ghosted, rarely matches the marketing.
We started OliveVPS because we wanted a different kind of hosting company. One that publishes real benchmarks instead of vague performance claims. One that uses NVMe storage on the cheapest plan, not just the flagship. One that doesn't tier its support so that affordable customers wait three days for an answer. One that, when it makes a mistake, says so clearly and credits the affected customers without making them ask.
Two years in, that's still our north star. Every VPS hosting plan we sell is identical in support, network quality, and SLA — whether you pay $3.99 a month or $500. Our 20 data centers run the same hardware, the same hypervisor, and the same control panel. There are no premium regions, no enterprise-only features, no hidden tiers.
We've operated long enough to identify what separates us from typical VPS providers. These are the differences customers tell us actually matter.
Hyperscalers metered every CPU-second, GB-second, and API call into an art form. We charge a flat monthly price. Bandwidth overage is $0.005/GB — disclosed up front, not buried in a billing manual. No zone-transfer fees. No premium-region surcharges. No support-tier upsells.
We staff our channel exclusively with engineers who can investigate, diagnose, and fix issues without escalating. That's expensive — but the result is a 7-minute median response time and customers who genuinely like dealing with us.
Most hosts treat "99.99%" as marketing copy. We publish real numbers. In 2025 our measured uptime was 99.998%. When we miss target, we credit affected customers automatically — no ticket, no argument.
Our company is run by engineers. Decisions about network architecture, hardware procurement, and features are made by people who understand the consequences. Our marketing is less polished than rivals — and our retention is higher.
No SATA SSDs in disguise. No OpenVZ tricks. No shared CPU cores marketed as "burstable." Just genuinely modern infrastructure on every plan.
Most "budget" hosts still ship SATA SSDs and call it fast. SATA tops out around 550 MB/s with maybe 100,000 IOPS — fine for a single-user laptop, painful for a server handling thousands of small requests per second.
Every OliveVPS plan, including the $3.99 Starter, runs on enterprise U.2 NVMe SSDs. The cheapest plan from us is faster than the most expensive plan from many competitors.
Containers and shared kernels are how cheap hosts squeeze 200 customers onto one box. OpenVZ, LXC, and similar systems share the host kernel — meaning you can't load your own kernel modules, can't run Docker reliably, can't tune sysctl values, and can't troubleshoot kernel-level issues.
Latency is the silent killer of web performance. Hosting in California when your users are in Mumbai isn't just slow — it costs conversions, search rankings, and patience.
We operate full deployment regions in New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Toronto, São Paulo, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Helsinki, Dublin, Tokyo, Singapore, Mumbai, Bangalore, Seoul, Hong Kong, Sydney, and Dubai. Every region runs the same hardware, the same NVMe storage, and the same KVM hypervisor. The price is identical — there is no "premium region" surcharge. See all 20 locations →
Always-on Layer 3 and Layer 4 mitigation included. Scrubbing happens at the network edge — attack traffic never touches your server. SYN floods, UDP amplification, ICMP floods, DNS reflection — all handled automatically. Premium adds Layer 7 protection with a managed Web Application Firewall.
Our customers run an enormous range of workloads. Pick a category and we've probably tuned a config for it.

The easiest way to evaluate a hosting provider is to ignore the marketing and look at three things: real benchmarks, real network paths, and real support response times.
Compared to budget hosts like DigitalOcean basic droplets, Vultr shared CPU plans, or Linode nanodes, we offer dedicated CPU cores instead of shared ("burstable"), NVMe instead of network-attached SSD, and a 7-minute support median instead of multi-day ticket queues — at similar or lower prices.
The trade-off is one we're happy with. We don't run a free tier, we don't have a global object-storage product yet, and we don't have a brand name your boss has heard of. What we do have is the infrastructure quality and support discipline that customers describe as "the way hosting used to feel before the industry got lazy" — and consistent customer retention numbers that suggest those customers stick around.
If you're shopping VPS hosting for a specific use case — production WordPress, game servers, SaaS backend, dev environment, self-hosted apps — drop us a note describing what you're building. We've probably tuned a configuration for that exact workload, and we'd rather steer you to the right tier (sometimes that's not even the most expensive one) than sell you something oversized.
The best hosting company is the one you forget about — until you need to email them, and then they answer in seven minutes.

Yes. We back every plan with a 99.99% uptime SLA, and our actual measured uptime in 2025 was 99.998%. Our network is multi-homed across six Tier-1 carriers, our power is N+1 redundant, and our hardware is monitored across 200+ environmental sensors per facility. Thousands of production businesses run on OliveVPS, including SaaS startups, ecommerce stores, and game-server networks serving millions of monthly users.
The pricing is similar; the hardware and support are different. Most budget cloud hosts use shared CPU cores ("burstable" plans where you compete for cycles with other tenants) and SATA SSDs. Every OliveVPS plan uses dedicated CPU cores and NVMe storage. Our support median is 7 minutes versus an industry average measured in hours. We don't have a free tier, but we don't have hidden bandwidth fees either.
Easily. The Starter plan handles a typical WordPress installation doing up to 10,000 monthly visitors comfortably. With FastCGI caching at NGINX (we recommend this for any production WordPress), you can push a Starter to 50,000+ monthly visitors before noticing performance pressure. For 100,000+ visitors, upgrade to Pro.
Yes. We support Windows Server 2019 and 2022 (Standard and Datacenter editions), plus Windows 10 and 11 for development workloads. Licensing follows Microsoft's SPLA model with a small monthly surcharge. Bring-Your-Own-License is supported with a qualifying volume agreement. RDP comes pre-configured on a non-default port; VNC console access is always available as fallback.
Every VPS plan includes a 7-day money-back guarantee. Order, test for a week, and if you're not satisfied we refund 100% — no questions asked. Dedicated servers carry a 24-hour satisfaction window because the hardware is provisioned specifically for you. Cryptocurrency payments are non-refundable due to network volatility (we'll credit your account instead).
Yes, and we'll help. Free migration assistance is included with Pro and Premium plans. We coordinate the data transfer (typically rsync over SSH or block-level snapshots), the DNS cutover, and the post-migration validation. Most migrations complete with zero downtime.
Excellent for game servers. Counter-Strike 2, Valorant private servers, Minecraft, Rust, ARK, Garry's Mod, and Source-engine titles all run beautifully on our VPS infrastructure. The Pro tier comfortably handles 16-32 player games; Premium handles up to 64-128 players depending on the game's CPU profile. Our dedicated CPU cores prevent the lag spikes that plague game servers on shared-CPU hosts.
Currently we offer self-managed databases on VPS — meaning you install and configure PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis yourself. Managed database services (where we handle backups, replication, and failover for you) are on our 2026 roadmap. In the meantime, our support engineers regularly help customers tune database configurations for their specific workloads.
We operate twenty deployment regions across four continents. Americas: New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Toronto, São Paulo. Europe: Frankfurt, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Helsinki, Dublin. Asia-Pacific: Tokyo, Singapore, Mumbai, Bangalore, Seoul, Hong Kong, Sydney. Middle East: Dubai. Every region runs identical hardware at identical prices.
Daily encrypted snapshots are included free on Pro and Premium plans, retained for 14 days. Starter customers can add backups for $1/mo. Restoration is one-click from the customer panel. We also support manual on-demand snapshots, scheduled snapshots through our API, and off-site backup destinations via S3-compatible endpoints.
Adult content: yes, in regions where legally permitted. Cryptocurrency nodes and validators: yes, fully supported. Mining: discouraged — our hardware isn't optimized for proof-of-work mining and consumer GPU mining isn't permitted on shared infrastructure. VPN services: yes, for personal or commercial use.
