## XServer VPS

- `compute/xserver-vps` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding none | category cloud VM | tier 2GB plan
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-10-24T02:05:00.000Z (live) | stale on 2026-11-24
- url https://vps.xserver.ne.jp/
- price parsed USD 8.07/mo
- free tier: no free tier; the entry plan is JPY 1,265 a month for 2 GB | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-24 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: monthly; the server persists while paid | source: [1]
- egress: no traffic quota was read on the product page | metered: no | free allowance: unstated | source: [1]
- identity: card | detail: unverified: the product and price pages were read, the signup path was not. The vendor is Japanese-language only and the order form is on a separate domain (secure.xserver.ne.jp), so a card and probably a Japanese phone are involved; neither is documented here
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - volume-quota: traffic allowance not read [1]
- limits note: The free instance survives at most 24 hours and must be renewed by hand from the control panel each day.
- binding note: the price binds: there is no shape at this vendor under USD 5 a month
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: Nothing chains, because no new account can be opened: the value of the record is that a Japanese reader who saw ' VPS' in 2025 arrives at a closed door in 2026.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The lead was worth closing: XServer is one of the largest Japanese hosts and its floor is above the line. No under-USD-5 shape exists, so nothing here can qualify whatever the identity terms are.
- evidence note: price and shape from the vendor's product page today; identity explicitly unverified

  - [3] 2026-10-22: the vendor's notice dated 2026/07/10 states, in Japanese, that new applications for both free plans are suspended because server stock is short, and that existing free users are unaffected
  - [4] 2026-10-22: the vendor's notice states that from 2026-07-22 17:00 the free plan's usable period drops from 96 hours (2 GB) and 48 hours (4 GB) to 24 hours for both, and that renewal opens when 12 hours remain
  - [5] 2026-10-22: the launch release dated 2025-07-10 gives the shape as 2 GB or 4 GB memory, 2 or 3 cores, 30 GB disk, 30 Mbps, manual renewal every four days (2 GB) or two days (4 GB), image saving unavailable

## XServer VPS free plan

- `egress/xserver-vps-free` | dead | evidence documented | binding write-gated | category vps (hosted, Japan) | tier free
- needs card yes, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-23 (live) | stale on 2026-11-23
- url https://vps.xserver.ne.jp/free.php
- price JPY 0 per month on the free plan; paid plans from JPY 792 per month | parsed USD 5.05/mo
- free tier: [translated] 'A completely free VPS service. There is no initial cost and no monthly payment, so you can use a domestic VPS casually.' The plan table lists a 2 GB and a 4 GB free VPS at 0 yen per month. | unit: unlimited | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-23 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: [translated] 0 yen per month for the 2 GB and 4 GB plans. No traffic allowance is stated on the page. The contract-renewal row says 'manual renewal (every 1 day)' for the free plans against 'automatic renewal' for the paid ones.; ingress: tcp+udp | metered: no | free allowance: none published | source: [1]
- identity: card | detail: [translated] 'A credit card must be registered to use this service.' | country: None
- interface: ssh, cli, rest
- limits:
  - write-gated (binding): [translated] 'manual renewal (every 1 day)' on the free plans; the paid plans renew automatically [1]
- binding note: A control-panel action every day stands between a user and the server surviving. That is a manual act, not a byte count, so it binds before any volume does. It is also moot today: the signup button for the free plans reads 'not accepting applications'.
- interface detail: [translated] 50+ OS and application images install automatically when the order completes; the panel restarts and reinstalls the guest.
- tooling: wg-quick inside the guest; SSH; the panel installs an OS or app image at order time
- composes with: If it reopens: a free Japanese root guest is the endpoint for everything else in this topic, and the daily renewal is the one job it needs.
- reliability: Daily manual renewal with deletion on a missed day; the page's own footnote says an automatic detection system may throttle guests that load the host excessively.
- notes: Read carefully because it looked like the answer: a Japanese 0-yen VPS with a root guest would pass the ingress test outright. Two facts kill it. The signup is closed ('not accepting applications'). And the renewal row means the server is deleted unless a human clicks a renewal every day, which no unattended workload survives. Country: Japan. The free plan carries 50 GB of disk standard with a 500 GB option per the page footnotes.
- evidence note: The 0 yen price, the card requirement, the daily manual renewal and the closed signup are all on the vendor page read on 2026-10-23. What no page establishes is whether a free guest gets a public IPv4; a probe would. Applications may reopen, which would make this the strongest Japanese free host.
- extras:
  - wg_path: native-conf
  - wg_detail: A KVM guest with root and a choice of 50+ OS images including Debian 12/13 and Ubuntu 22.04/24.04/26.04, so wg-quick runs in the guest. No configuration is issued by the vendor.
  - ingress: tcp+udp
  - volume_stated: [translated] 0 yen per month for the 2 GB and 4 GB plans. No traffic allowance is stated on the page. The contract-renewal row says 'manual renewal (every 1 day)' for the free plans against 'automatic renewal' for the paid ones.
  - bytes_transit: yes
  - transit_note: A domestic Japanese guest address carries the traffic.
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-23: [translated] 'A completely free VPS service. There is no initial cost and no monthly payment.' Free plans are 2 GB and 4 GB at 0 yen per month.
  - [1] 2026-10-23: [translated] 'A credit card must be registered to use this service.'
  - [1] 2026-10-23: [translated] The free plans' contract-renewal row reads 'manual renewal (every 1 day)'; the paid plans read 'automatic renewal'. The free-plan signup button reads 'not accepting applications'.
