| Free tier | no free plan: VPS Lite is 'From CHF 2.70 /month' on an annual commitment with 'Unlimited traffic with 500 Mb/s bandwidth' unit unlimited; metered on none; A third-party index reports no trial for VPS Lite; the CHF 300 credit applies to Public Cloud only. |
|---|---|
| Price | CHF 2.70 a month on a 12-month term paid upfront, with unlimited traffic at 500 Mb/s |
| Limits |
|
| Binding | none at 1 TiB a month no byte quota is published; 500 Mb/s would carry about 160 TB a month, so the 12-month prepayment is the first cost to bite, not a limit |
| Identity | card VPS payment methods are cards, PostFinance, bank transfer, PayPal, Twint or a prepaid balance; an order flagged for spam or fraud needs an ID check with a selfie through the kCheck app (third-party index); the vendor's order page was not read |
| Egress | Unlimited traffic at 500 Mb/s; a third-party index adds 'limited by port speed and fair use'; the monthly price assumes 12 months paid in one payment; inbound UDP policy is not stated on the pages read free allowance: none published |
| Interface | ssh SSH to the VPS public IPv4 address |
| Tooling | wg-quick or any VPN daemon inside the guest |
| Composes with | a CHF 2.70 a month origin in Switzerland with no byte cap; the cost is a 12-month prepayment and the wall is the 500 Mb/s port |
| Reliability | unverified: no suspension, throttle or data-loss behaviour is stated on the pages read; VPS Lite is unmanaged |
| Notes | Plans run from 1 vCPU / 2 GB / 20 GB at CHF 2.70 to 4 vCPU / 8 GB / 160 GB at CHF 18.00 a month with the annual commitment; the 6- and 8-vCPU offers are also available with a monthly commitment. The existing Infomaniak Public Cloud record is a different product. |
| Evidence note | documented price, term and port are quoted from the vendor's VPS Lite page read on 2026-11-04; payment and ID-check rules rest on a third-party index and are reported; no server was ordered and no port was probed |

| Free tier | 'Get started free of charge with CHF 300.- credits to be used within 3 months.' The credits are once per customer and restricted to 35 named countries, and a card with a CHF 20 preauthorisation is required to take them. unit none; metered on wall-clock |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits | |
| Binding | write-gated The CHF 20 preauthorisation is the first thing that fails: no card, no trial, regardless of the CHF 300 on offer. |
| Identity | card card required, CHF 20 authorisation hold: quoted 'A bank card is also required. Infomaniak will place a preauthorisation hold of CHF 20 on your card. Your card will not be debited; the amount will be released by your bank according to its own terms (usually within 7 days).' The page says 'bank card' rather than 'credit card', which suggests a debit card is accepted, but it does not say so explicitly and no card-type list is published on the page read. |
| Egress | 'the incoming and outgoing traffic is free. With regard to storage, 10 TB are included per month and per organisation for outgoing traffic (the rate indicated on this page then applies).' free allowance: 10 TB per month per organisation |
| Per-object cap | once per customer: 'this offer is available in the following countries ... once per customer' |
| Retention | the credits expire: 'CHF 300 of credits for the Public Cloud product for 3 months'. Instances bill by the hour on the median of the hour's use; storage is separate and 10 TB a month of outgoing traffic is included per organisation. |
| Interface | ssh, rest OpenStack Nova instances with SSH, a console and an OpenStack API; block storage on Ceph/Cinder |
| Tooling | any SSH client; the OpenStack CLI or the vendor console |
| Composes with | A Swiss OpenStack cloud with real VM shapes and 10 TB a month of egress, but the CHF 20 hold is exactly the pattern the operator objects to, and it is restricted to 35 countries. |
| Reliability | No reliability event observed. |
| Notes | Rejected on the card. It is the same mechanism at a smaller amount. The 35-country allowlist is a second gate that no amount of card solves, and it excludes China. Instance shapes and hourly rates were behind a table that did not render, so no shape and no USD-per-month figure are recorded rather than guessed. |
| Evidence note | documented The CHF 300, the 3-month expiry, the 35-country list, the CHF 20 hold and the 10 TB egress allowance are all quoted from Infomaniak's own public-cloud pages read. The instance shapes and hourly rates were behind a JavaScript table that did not render, so no shape is recorded. |
