| Free tier | no free tier; SSD VPS 1 is USD 2.33 a month billed USD 28 a year unit none; metered on none |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits | |
| Binding | volume-quota 4 TB a month is generous for a personal tunnel and is the only metered thing on the plan; the disk and the 1 GiB of RAM do not bind. |
| Identity | card adding a debit or credit card to the billing profile places 'an authorization fee of usually about $1 USD' against the card, which is 'automatically refunded within 7 days', so the card is verified rather than charged; the plan itself is charged in full: 'the full cost will be charged upfront at the time of deployment'. 'We support all major credit and debit cards available to date', so a debit card is accepted, and a card is one route and not the only one: Cloud Credits can be funded by PayPal, AliPay, card on file or a promotional code, on https://help.cloudcone.com/en-us/article/how-to-add-funds-to-your-account-1n6vknv/. No minimum top-up is published, and whether a prepaid or a virtual card passes is not published there or on https://hello.cloudcone.com/ssd-vps-plans/. |
| Egress | 4 TB a month at 1 Gb/s free allowance: 4 TB a month |
| Retention | the VPS persists while the annual term is paid; the plan page states no deletion clock |
| Interface | ssh root SSH on a KVM VPS with 1 IPv4 and 3 IPv6 addresses |
| Tooling | any SSH client; the deploy endpoint is a per-plan app URL |
| Composes with | the cheapest fully dual-stack VPS with its own IPv4 and no port tricks, so a WireGuard endpoint needs no vendor cooperation |
| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |
| Notes | USD 28 a year divided by 12 is USD 2.33 a month, which is the vendor's own figure, and USD 28 is the money out of pocket. This is above the USD 1 line and is recorded because it is the cheapest verified machine that needs no shared address and no port forwarding at all. A WireGuard listener on UDP 51820 works on any port here because the IPv4 is dedicated. Payment: the USD 1 authorisation is real and first-party, but it is a card-verification fee placed when a card is added, not a signup deposit, and it is refunded automatically within 7 days rather than on request. The money actually spent on the plan is non-refundable. Whether the signup flow itself requires a card was not established: the account creation form was not opened, and the help-centre articles describe the billing profile after an account exists. RENEWAL PASS 2026-10-24: the annual figure is the standing product price, not a promo, so the renewal is the same USD 28 absent a notified increase. the provider do permit that increase at the start of a renewal term on 45 days' notice, and the agreement auto-renews for the same term unless cancelled at least one day before expiry. The two SSD VPS records now carry the same renewal treatment; the SSD VPS 1 record previously left renewal_usd null while SSD VPS 2 carried it, although both are priced the same way on the same page. |
| Evidence note | documented price, shape, bandwidth and address count quoted from the plan page read; the payment rails, the debit acceptance and the USD 1 authorisation hold are quoted from three first-party help-centre articles read. The account creation form was not read, so whether the signup itself demands a card is unverified. |

| Notes | A fossil with no cart at all. /black-friday/ is a 2021 buyer's guide, and the two destinations it promotes - the hourly deals page at app.cloudcone.com/blackfriday and the welcome page at hello.cloudcone.com - are a 404 served with HTTP 200 and a plain 404 respectively. Note the HTTP 200 trap: app.cloudcone.com/blackfriday answers 200 and the bytes are a 404 page. The current VPS price is USD 28 a year, so a 2021 seasonal price would have been worth finding; it is not there. |
| Evidence note | documented Both the landing URL and the app path were read, and both are quoted. |
