Why Host Your VPS with Gravel Host?

Cheap VPS hosting usually means oversold cores, slow disks and ticket-only support. Our high-performance VPS hosting fixes that - dedicated Ryzen 9 cores, real NVMe and humans on chat 24/7.

Custom Control Panel

Manage your VPS from one clean dashboard. Reboot, reinstall, snapshot, restore, change OS, view live CPU/RAM/network graphs - or skip the panel entirely and go straight to root over SSH. VNC and emergency rescue console are one click away.

Instant 60-Second Deploy

Pick a plan, pick an OS, and your VPS is online in about a minute. No provisioning queues, no manual ticket reviews. Login credentials hit your inbox the moment your machine boots.

Linux & Windows VPS

Run any Linux VPS distro you want - Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky, Fedora, Arch, Alpine - or a Windows VPS on Server 2019/2022 with full RDP. Reinstall your OS in one click, no extra fees, no ticketing.

2 Tbps DDoS Protection

Always-on Layer 3 / 4 / 7 DDoS protection on every VPS plan, every region. We don't sell DDoS protection as an add-on because we think that's a tax on bad luck. Your services stay online even under attack.

Daily Backups + Snapshots

Daily off-host snapshots are taken automatically and kept for seven days. Take a manual snapshot before any risky change, restore in a click, no ticket required, no claw-back fees.

11 Global Locations

Deploy your VPS hosting in Dallas, Tampa, Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Oregon, Virginia, Germany, Amsterdam, Singapore or Sydney. Move regions any time - your snapshot rides along.

02 / Fundamentals

The boring things,
done correctly.

We don't sell vibes. We sell unprovisioned cores, real NVMe, an honest network and engineers who ship. Here's what high-performance VPS hosting actually means in practice.
02.01 - Compute

Dedicated cores. Never throttled.

Every vCPU on your Gravel Host VPS is a dedicated thread on AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D silicon. We do not oversubscribe and we do not sell “burst” cores. Run 100% load forever - we won't notice and neither will your neighbours.

Gravel · Stone VPS 3,184 DigitalOcean Premium AMD 2,049 Vultr High-Frequency 2,355
02.02 - Storage

PCIe 4.0 NVMe. 7,000 MB/s read.

No SATA SSDs. No “shared NVMe.” Your VPS storage is local to the host on enterprise PCIe 4.0 drives in a RAID-10 mirror, with daily off-host snapshots kept for seven days. Database queries fly, game-server map loads vanish.

02.03 - Network

2 Tbps DDoS, always on.

Layer 3, 4 and 7 mitigation at the edge - included on Pebble, included on Bedrock. Game-aware filtering rules ship out of the box, so a hosted Minecraft, Rust or FiveM VPS rides out attacks without you opening a ticket.

Layer 3 - packet floods Layer 4 - SYN/UDP Layer 7 - HTTP floods Game-aware rules
02.04 - Control

Full root. SSH from second one.

Reboot, reinstall, snapshot or rescue from the panel - or skip the panel entirely and SSH straight in. Your VPS, your kernel, your rules. Mount any filesystem, run any service, install any package.

One VPS,
infinite workloads.

From a $6 Linux VPS for a side project to a 16-core production node for a busy game community - the same hardware family, the same network, the same support team.

Game VPS Hosting

Run modded Minecraft, Rust, ARK, FiveM, Palworld, Valheim or any game server you can install. High single-core clocks keep tick rates smooth, and our DDoS shield is built for game traffic out of the box.

Everything you'd
want to ask.

Still curious? Our team is in live chat 24/7 - median reply under five minutes, written by humans who actually run servers themselves.
Q.01What is VPS hosting and how does it work?
A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a slice of a physical server that acts like its own dedicated machine - you get a guaranteed share of CPU, RAM, NVMe storage, your own IP, and full root or administrator access. Gravel Host VPS hosting runs on AMD Ryzen 9 nodes with KVM virtualization, so your resources are never shared or oversubscribed. Install any OS, run any software, scale up at any time.
Q.02How much does VPS hosting cost at Gravel Host?
Cheap VPS hosting at Gravel Host starts at $6.00/mo for the Pebble plan (2 dedicated cores, 4 GB DDR5, 50 GB NVMe). The most popular Stone VPS is $14/mo for production web apps and game servers. Quarterly billing saves 10% and annual billing saves 25%, making it some of the most affordable VPS hosting available without cutting performance.
Q.03Do you offer Linux VPS hosting and Windows VPS hosting?
Yes. Every Gravel Host VPS supports Linux VPS hosting (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky, Fedora, Arch, Alpine) and Windows VPS hosting (Server 2019, 2022 and Windows desktop ISOs). Reinstall to any supported OS in one click from the panel - no extra fees, no migration tickets.
Q.04Is your VPS hosting good for game servers?
Yes - our VPS hosting is built for game VPS hosting from the ground up. Every node uses AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPUs with high single-core clocks, the kind of performance Minecraft, Rust, ARK, FiveM, Palworld and Valheim servers need to stay smooth. DDoS protection is on by default and Pterodactyl can be one-click installed if you want a game panel. Browse our game hosting.
Q.05Do I get full root access on my VPS?
Always. Every Gravel Host VPS gives you full root access (or Administrator on Windows) over SSH/RDP from second one. Install any software, run any kernel module, mount any filesystem - it's your machine, your kernel, your rules.
Q.06Can I upgrade or downgrade my VPS plan later?
Yes - every Gravel Host VPS scales vertically with one click. Upgrades happen live with no migration and no IP change. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle and you only ever pay the prorated difference.
Q.07Is DDoS protection actually included on every VPS?
Yes, on every VPS plan including Pebble. We absorb up to 2 Tbps at the edge with always-on Layer 3 and 4 filtering, plus Layer 7 mitigation for HTTP floods and game-aware rules. No add-on, no upcharge - we don't sell DDoS protection as a tax on bad luck.
Q.08Where are your VPS hosting locations?
Gravel Host runs VPS hosting in 12 global locations: Dallas, Tampa, Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Oregon, Virginia, Germany, Amsterdam, Singapore and Sydney. You can move regions any time and your snapshot rides along.

THE BEST CHEAP VPS HOSTING FOR LINUX, WINDOWS & GAMES

YOUR OWN VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVER - LIVE IN UNDER A MINUTE

Gravel Host VPS hosting is built for people who actually run things in production - game communities, indie SaaS, dev teams, agencies and tinkerers. Every VPS plan ships on the same hardware family: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D dedicated cores, DDR5 ECC memory, PCIe 4.0 NVMe in RAID-10, 1 Gbps unmetered uplink and 2 Tbps DDoS protection on by default. Whether you need a $6 Linux VPS for a personal VPN, a Stone-tier game VPS for a modded Minecraft community, or a 16-core Bedrock node for a high-traffic Windows VPS workload, the experience is the same: deploy in 60 seconds, full root from second one, scale up with one click, snapshot before risky changes, and a real human on chat in under five minutes when you need one. That's what affordable, high-performance VPS hosting is supposed to feel like.
