Who it's for & use cases

A VM simple enough to rent. Serious enough to operate.

The same service works for someone building a personal lab and for a team deploying a staging environment, a bastion, or a small production. Clear pricing, KVM console, and root access for proper tinkering; daily snapshots, monitoring, and human on-call for serious workloads.

In practice

SSH, root access, assigned IPv6, disk benchmark.

Actual output from a freshly provisioned VM: assigned IPv6 and IPv4 addresses, disk throughput measured in IOPS, and network latency to local peering.

Datacenter seriousness

Montreal, human support, monitoring, managed options, and production-friendly workloads.

Accessible

Simple enough for a side project, credible enough for staging or lighter production.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How fast is my VM ready?

Provisioning is automated: your VM is usually available within minutes after the order is confirmed, with its IPv6 and IPv4 addresses assigned and reverse DNS configurable.

Which operating systems are available?

Common Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Rocky, Alma…) and Windows Server. Windows instances are provided in evaluation mode: no license is included, and you can apply your own after deployment.

Are resources guaranteed?

Yes. vCPU, RAM, and storage are dedicated to your VM — we do not overprovision. The resources you rent are never resold to other customers: performance stays constant, including for production workloads.

How do backups work?

A snapshot of each VM is taken automatically by our team every 24 hours. You can request a restore of the latest snapshot at any time. For finer-grained application backups (databases, files), manage them inside your VM.

What happens if I exceed the included traffic?

Every VM includes 1 TB of monthly traffic. Beyond that, extra traffic is billed at 2 CAD per TB — no cutoff, no surprise invoice.

How do I order and pay?

All orders and payments go through the console.ffxf.net panel: create an account, pick your plan, and pay online. Billing is monthly or annual, in CAD, at a fixed price.

Order or talk

Simple, nerdy, or critical requirement? We can size it properly.

Single VM, small cluster, bastion, SaaS, backup, disaster recovery, clean homelab, or light production: send your need and we will answer with a concrete proposal.
