## VolpaByte

- `compute/volpabyte-ryzen-kvm-8gb` | qualifies | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category VPS | tier Ryzen KVM 8 GB
- needs card yes, phone yes, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-24T06:30:00.000Z (live) | stale on 2026-11-24
- url https://volpabyte.net/ryzen-vps.html
- price parsed USD 5.59/mo
- free tier: no free tier; the ladder starts at EUR 3.49 a month for the 4 GB rung, and the vendor also sells a free test server | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-24 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not applicable
- retention: the disk persists while the plan is paid; the site advertises 'Ohne Vertragsbindung, jederzeit kundbar' (no minimum term, cancellable at any time)
- egress: the 8 GB rung lists a 1 Gbit/s connection and no traffic figure at all; the homepage's older copy said 'unlimited traffic'. No cap and no overage price is published on the plan page read | metered: no | free allowance: not stated on the plan page | source: [1]
- identity: card | detail: the registration form asks for name, email, phone (a full country selector) and address, and carries a phone-country list including Germany as the default. No ID document field appears on register.php. The payment methods are not stated on the registration form; the order store was empty so the payment step could not be read: unverified rather than none. No card hold is stated anywhere.
- interface: ssh
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): traffic not stated on the plan page; the page lists only '1 Gbit/s Anbindung' [1]
- binding note: the page publishes a port speed and no traffic allowance, so the ceiling is unstated rather than generous.
- interface detail: KVM with full root, an OS installer for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky and Fedora, Windows via ISO, and a web console
- tooling: any SSH client; WHMCS client area
- composes with: a daily-driver box: 8 GiB and 6 high-clock Ryzen vCPU carry a database, a queue worker and a web app on one invoice, with no transfer ceiling to watch
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: Buyable at EUR 4,99 a month gross, or EUR 50,90 a year, and the cart prints all four cycles. The VAT line is real: 19% German rate, stated separately, EUR 4,19 net against EUR 4,99 gross. There is no country selector, so a non-EU buyer's total is untested. The earlier 'dead' verdict in this record came from a stateless fetch of a WHMCS store and is withdrawn: WHMCS needs a session cookie before it resolves a product group. The renewal is still not stated on the page; EUR 4,99 monthly is the only evidence for month 13.
- evidence note: the EUR 4.99 monthly price and the full shape are quoted from the plan page read. The order path is a failed read: every 'Jetzt bestellen' link redirects to an empty store, so purchasability is the finding, not the price.
- extras:
  - shape.vcpu: 6
  - shape.ram_gib: 8
  - shape.disk_gib: 100
  - billing_model: monthly only, as published today
  - term: monthly; the site states no minimum term
  - m10h_usd: 5.59
  - m24h_usd: 4.75
  - price_arithmetic: EUR 4.99 a month x 1.1193 (ECB reference, 2026-10-23) = USD 5.585, rounded USD 5.59. It is a VPS, so it bills whether it runs or not and there is no division by 730. No annual term is published today, so there is no annual-divided-by-12 figure to quote.
  - out_of_pocket_usd: 56.97
  - renewal_usd: not published
  - renewal_note: the page states a monthly price only. No renewal sentence, no annual term and no discount banner appear in the 14,410-byte page. The EUR 50.90 annual figure in the record this replaces is not on the page today.
  - promo: no
  - fx.pair: EUR/USD
  - fx.rate: 1.1193
  - fx.date: 2026-10-23
  - fx.source: ECB reference via frankfurter.app
  - port_mbps: 1000
  - ipv4_included: yes
  - ipv6: /64
  - vat: the German site quotes consumer prices; the old record read EUR 4.19 net + EUR 0.80 VAT = EUR 4.99 gross. The page does not say which basis it prints, so the net figure is not restated here
  - checkout.order_url: https://volpabyte.net/dashboard/index.php?rp=/store/vps/ryzen-kvm-8-gb
  - checkout.configurator_url: https://volpabyte.net/dashboard/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=1
  - checkout.in_stock: yes: the configurator priced the plan and accepted a billing-cycle change, which a sold-out product would not
  - checkout.stock_evidence: the configurator returned an order summary with a total on both the monthly and the annual cycle on 2026-10-24; no stock counter is printed
  - checkout.payment_methods: unverified: the payment step follows the hostname and root-password step, which was not completed.
  - checkout.debit: unverified: no payment-method list was read
  - checkout.checkout_asks: the configurator asks for a Hostname and a Root Password, then Extra IPv4, DDoS tier, Operating System, Backup Slots and an SMTP addon. No ID document, no company and no address field appear at this step
  - checkout.first_payment_eur_monthly: 4.99
  - checkout.first_payment_eur_annual: 50.9
  - checkout.first_payment_note: 'Setup Fees: EUR 0,00'; monthly 'EUR 4,99 Total Due Today', annual 'EUR 50,90 Total Due Today', both VAT-inclusive
  - checkout.renewal_at_checkout: no renewal sentence on the configurator
  - checkout.non_eu_buyable: The annual cycle is invoiced instead and avoids that clause

  - cart_url: https://volpabyte.net/dashboard/cart.php?a=configure&productid=1
  - payment_methods: not read: the store renders no product, so no checkout was reachable.
  - stock: out of stock / not sold: every order link resolves to a store that renders 'Product group does not contain any visible products'. Read at https://volpabyte.net/dashboard/index.php?rp=/store/vps
  - superseded_claim: EUR 50.90/yr = EUR 4.24/mo = USD 4.75, 6 vCPU / 8 GiB / 100 GB / unlimited, qualifies-with-caveat
  - price_on_page: EUR 4.99/mo, EUR 50.90/yr
  - price_in_cart: EUR 4,99 Total Due Today on the monthly cycle: "Monthly: EUR 4,19" plus "VAT @ 19.00%: EUR 0,80"
  - cart_works: yes
  - cart_evidence: read in a browser by the operator on 2026-10-24, cart.php?a=configure&productid=1: 'Ryzen KVM 8 GB / KVM Server / Ryzen KVM 8 GB EUR 4,99 EUR', then 'Setup Fees: EUR 0,00', 'Monthly: EUR 4,19 EUR', 'VAT @ 19.00%: EUR 0,80 EUR', 'EUR 4,99 EUR Total Due Today'. A second render at cart.php?a=config&productID=0 showed the same total with the same VAT line
  - needs_account_first: no
  - method_note: A stateless fetch makes this store look dead. Without a cookie jar the same URL returns 'Could not load any product groups'; with a jar warmed from the homepage it renders the full configurator.
  - vat_pct: 19.0
  - vat_included: yes
  - price_ex_vat_eur: 4.19
  - vat_note: The cart DOES apply 19% German VAT and states it as a separate line, so EUR 4,99 is a gross price and EUR 4,19 is the net. The line is present and that note is withdrawn. Because VAT is charged at the German rate with no country selector, a non-EU buyer's total is unverified: it should be EUR 4,19 if the VAT falls away, but no country selector exists to make it fall away.
