You could install Rocket.Chat on a generic $5 VPS. Most people who try spend an evening on the install, another on hardening, another on backups, and then it falls over the first time the kernel updates. We've done that work — every team chat (rocket.chat) plan is tuned, monitored, and updateable in one click.
No black boxes — here's the exact software shipped on every Team Chat VPS (Rocket.Chat) plan.

Everything runs in containers via Docker, so updates are atomic. If a release breaks something, roll back to the previous image in 30 seconds. No 'I broke prod by running apt upgrade' moments.
The same KVM hypervisor and enterprise NVMe drives we use across every OliveVPS region.
Pick from 20+ datacenter regions worldwide. Team Chat VPS (Rocket.Chat) VPS pricing stays the same in every region — the hardware specs, the bandwidth allowance, the SSD speed. The only thing that changes is your latency to end users.
