FreeBSD VPS Hosting

Real FreeBSD® on KVM hardware virtualization — full root, your own kernel, pf and jails if you want them — with the same self-service portal controls as our Linux VPS. Select FreeBSD as your operating system on the VPS order form.

Operating system

Deploy a current FreeBSD release from a server cloud image, configured through cloud-init at first boot (IP, hostname, SSH keys). Same plans and pricing as our Linux VPS — FreeBSD is simply one of the operating systems you can pick at order time, or switch to later with an OS reload.

What you control from the portal

These are enforced at the hypervisor, so they work identically on FreeBSD:

• Console — browser-based noVNC. Works at the loader prompt, in single-user mode, or when sshd is down. No client install.
• Snapshots — up to three on-demand slots per VPS. Snapshot before an upgrade or a pkg change; roll back in seconds.
• OS reload — re-provision to another FreeBSD release or over to Linux. IP, IPv6, hostname, and console credentials are preserved.
• Rescue mode — boot a rescue environment with networking pre-configured; mount your disk and repair a broken boot or fstab.
• Cloud firewall — a hypervisor-level firewall in front of the VM, managed from the portal. It filters before traffic reaches FreeBSD and survives a misconfigured pf ruleset (see below).
• Reverse DNS — set your own PTR records on every IPv4 and IPv6 address. Mail-server-friendly.
• IPv6 — one IPv6 address per VPS, configured at deploy alongside your IPv4.
• Live stats & graphs — CPU / memory / network / disk over the last hour to year, plus per-month bandwidth totals.
• Resource changes — upgrade CPU, RAM, or disk between billing cycles; effective on next reboot.
• Live hostname & root password — change either from the portal, applied live via the guest agent (the hostname is persisted to /etc/rc.conf). No reboot.
• SSH keys & root password at deploy — paste your public keys on the order form for first-boot access; the initial credentials are set via cloud-init.

FreeBSD, honestly

A few in-guest conveniences on our Linux plans lean on Linux-only tooling and are not offered on FreeBSD — you manage these the FreeBSD way instead:

• In-guest firewall — use FreeBSD's native pf (and blacklistd for brute-force mitigation). The portal's fail2ban management is Linux-only; the hypervisor cloud firewall above works on every OS.
• One-click app installers — the curated stack installers target Debian/Ubuntu/AlmaLinux. On FreeBSD you install from pkg or ports, which is fast and clean.
• Guest health diagnostics — the portal's one-click service/health probe is Linux-only; on FreeBSD, inspect services natively (service … status, sockstat, top).

Specs and pricing

Plans start at $10/month (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD) — the same dedicated CPU / RAM / SSD allocations as our Linux VPS, billed at a flat monthly rate and upgradeable between billing cycles. Pick the plan, choose FreeBSD, deploy.
