| Free tier | 2 TB HDD (SSD-cached), 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 6 TB/month bandwidth on 1 Gbps — $20/month, FREE for the first month. Paid ladder is $10/TB/month with RAID6 + NVMe cache, up to 4 TB at $40. unit TB; metered on unstated |

| Limits |
30-day trial then $20/mo unless cancelled. 6 TB/month egress cap. 2 TB per server; larger trial sizes explicitly refused ('we are not offering free trials for those at this time (nor do we plan to)'). |
| Identity | card card |
| Egress | 6 TB/month premium bandwidth included at 1 Gbps; beyond that it is metered. free allowance: 6 TB per month |
| Per-object cap | not stated |
| Retention | 30-day trial then $20/mo unless cancelled (30 days) |
| Interface | sftp, rsync, ssh, rclone sftp |
| Tooling | Root KVM VPS: full SSH/SFTP/rsync, mountable as rclone sftp remote or with rclone mount + fuse. Host rep explicitly runs KVM + VirtFusion. |
| Composes with | One trial per customer (Stripe ties card to VirtFusion provisioning — 'our provisioning solution ties Stripe directly to Virtfusion'). The flow ties each card to one provisioning record, so a second trial needs a second card and this is NOT repeatable at scale. |
| Reliability | Small Idaho host (Lincoln Freedom Group LLC), Boise datacentre, RAID6. New enough that the soft launch itself was the reliability test; no long-run track record. Trial VPS is deleted if not converted. |
