| Free tier | no free tier and no monthly cycle: VPS-Windows-3 is EUR 12.49 a month against a EUR 24.99 list rate, but every product on the page is billed as a three-year invoice, this one at EUR 449.82, for 4 vCPU, 16 GB of RAM and 200 GB of NVMe. The strings monthly, quarterly and annually return zero matches on the page, and 12.495 x 36 is 449.82 exactly, so the 12.49 is a monthly equivalent of a prepayment rather than a rate a buyer can pay monthly unit none; metered on none |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
the 1 Gbps guarantee is the only limit re-confirmed on the 2026-10-26 read; The card prices a three-year invoice rather than a month: all eight products on the page carry a 'Billed as X EUR every 3 years' footnote, this one at 449.82, and the strings monthly, quarterly and annually return zero matches in the page. |
| Binding | volume-quota 16 TB a month is the only published byte ceiling, so it is the kind named. What a buyer actually meets first is not a quota at all but the term: EUR 449.82 is due before the machine starts, there is no monthly cycle in which to pay less, and a multi-year prepayment has no kind in the seven-value vocabulary. |
| Identity | card an account and a payment method at order; the checkout was not read |
| Egress | No overage price is printed either way free allowance: 16 TB per month, not re-confirmed on the 2026-10-26 read |
| Retention | the disk persists while the plan is paid; the page states no deletion clock |
| Interface | rest, cli RDP with administrator access; credentials are issued at setup |
| Tooling | any RDP client; no API is described on the page |
| Composes with | the cheapest way to buy 200 GB of NVMe with 16 GB of RAM on a Windows plan, but the price is a three-year prepayment. It suits a long-lived box and not a test. |
| Reliability | no reliability event observed; the plan is advertised for Europe only. |
| Notes | The monthly-cycle question is settled and the answer is that there is no such cycle: three-year prepayment is the only term the page sells, so the EUR 12.49 is a monthly equivalent of a EUR 449.82 invoice and not a rate a buyer can start on. Ranking it beside a monthly rate compares a three-year commitment with a month. The licence answer is conditional, the plan page does not itemise a licence line, and the renewal after the first term is not printed. The three-year total is the number to compare against twelve Rabisu months. |
| Evidence note | documented the shape, the discounted rate, the list rate, the three-year total and the absence of any monthly cycle are printed on the page and confirmed on 2026-10-26: all eight products carry a 'Billed as X EUR every 3 years' footnote, the words monthly, quarterly and annually do not occur, and 12.495 x 36 reproduces the 449.82 exactly. The licence sentence is conditional and the renewal after the first term is not stated, which is what keeps the record at documented rather than settled. |
