## Hosteroid

- `compute/hosteroid` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category cloud VM
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-10-22 (live) | stale on 2026-11-22
- url https://www.hosteroid.uk/
- free tier: Archive-500GB at EUR 14.14/year VAT included, yearly prepaid only (the vendor states "Only EUR 1.18/mo when paid annually"): 1 vCPU, 2 GB DDR4 ECC RAM, 30 GB NVMe RAID10 boot plus 500 GB HDD RAID60 cached, 3 TB at 10 Gbps then 100 Mbps, 1 IPv4 and /64 IPv6, Bucharest Romania, stock stated as "Limited stock: 15 units". The monthly table starts higher: VM01 at EUR 3.00/month with 1 core, 512 MB, 10 GB SSD and 324 GB. The tracker's own floor is a Comet plan at EUR 1.50/month billed yearly (EUR 18.00/year) with 2 cores, 4,096 MB, 50 GB NVMe and 3,500 GB in Bucharest, which is dearer per year than the vendor's Archive plan. | unit: GiB | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: none
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: 3 TB a month on the Archive plan, then shaped to 100 Mbps; the monthly ladder scales the allowance with the plan from 324 GB to 4,860 GB and states no overage price | metered: yes | free allowance: 3072 GB per month on Archive-500GB | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: not stated
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): 3 TB a month at 10 Gbps then shaped to 100 Mbps after the allowance, so the first wall is bytes and the second is a tenth of the port; 3 TB is about 100 GB a day, against 500 GB of local disk. [1]
- limits note: 3 TB a month at 10 Gbps then shaped to 100 Mbps after the allowance, so the first wall is bytes and the second is a tenth of the port; 3 TB is about 100 GB a day, against 500 GB of local disk.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: KVM with root and NVMe RAID10 boot, sold through a WHMCS storefront; no API documented on the page read.
- composes with: EUR 14.14 a year for 500 GB of cached HDD plus 3 TB a month is the cheapest cold tier, and the 2 GB of RAM is enough to run a transfer agent in front of it; it is an archive edge, not a working set, and the 15-unit stock means it is not a plan to build a pipeline on.
- reliability: unverified, passed on: compute/fossvps records a LowEndSpirit post, "important-buc1-hosteroid-server-termination", quoting "node buc1 will terminate on 17th of April 2026 ... all data WILL BE DESTROYED"; that node was a donated FOSSVPS node in the same Bucharest datacentre as the cheapest plan read here, and the paid plan was not itself observed to be affected.
- notes: The vendor's own page is cheaper than the tracker's floor, which is the reverse of the usual direction: EUR 14.14 a year for 500 GB of disk against the tracker's EUR 18.00 a year for 50 GB, so the record leads with the vendor. Two tiers that are not free: VAT is included in the quoted figure, and the plan is annual prepay only, so a failed renewal loses the year.
