Cheap VPS hosting in Europe, without the hidden extras

What actually makes a European VPS cheap

“Cheap” isn’t just the sticker price — it’s the price you keep paying. A genuinely cheap VPS in Europe means three things: a flat monthly rate, no metered bandwidth bill waiting at the end of the month, and NVMe storage as standard rather than a paid upgrade. Miss any one and the “cheap” plan gets expensive fast.

The genuinely cheapest option (we'll name it)

If you want the lowest possible price for a bare virtual machine and nothing else, buy directly from Hetzner — it’s the cheapest of the mainstream European hosts, and IntoClouds itself runs on Hetzner Cloud. We’re not the cheapest raw compute and we say so. Read the Hetzner comparison for the full picture.

Where IntoClouds fits on price

Our plans start with the same NVMe, flat-rate, no-bandwidth-surprise pricing you’d want from any cheap European host, deployable in Falkenstein, Nuremberg or Helsinki. Versus DigitalOcean or Linode — who most people actually compare against — we come in under their cost for the same specs, and we include the domain, DNS zone and mailboxes they don’t. The live numbers are on the pricing page; domains are priced per TLD and mailboxes come with any domain you run through us.

The hidden extras to check before you buy anywhere

• Bandwidth overages. Ours are flat — no per-GB egress bill.
• Backups. We do manual snapshots you take yourself, not automatic backups — that’s a real limit, not a hidden fee, and we’d rather you know.
• Support. Included, from engineers, with no paid “priority” tier gating outage help.
• Domains & email. Priced openly per TLD, mailboxes included with a domain — not an upsell bolted on later.

Deciding

Pricing a single throwaway box? Go raw Hetzner. Running a few client sites that each need a server, a domain, DNS and email without four logins and four invoices? That’s the case we’re built for and priced for. If you’re still unsure a VPS is even the right tool, start with VPS vs shared hosting.
