Absolute Hosting VPS provides cloud-hosted virtual private servers from South Africa for customers who want control over server configuration. The service is self-managed: Absolute Hosting supplies the virtual machine, operating system and IP address, while customers take responsibility for software installation and server setup. It suits users who can administer a Linux or Windows server and want to choose among AMD EPYC configurations, rather than buyers seeking a fully managed hosting service.

The listed VPS plans are named for their processors: AMD EPYC Turin 9555, Raphael 4484PX, Genoa 9554, Genoa 9454P, Milan 73F3 and Milan 7763. Each plan lists root access, a managed firewall, unlimited bandwidth and NVMe SSD storage. The Turin and Raphael entries specify PCIe 5.0 NVMe, while the Genoa and Milan entries specify PCIe 4.0 NVMe. According to the official storefront, the Milan 7763 starts at R63/month; a separate marketing page gives a Milan configuration from R67/month with 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM and 10 GB NVMe storage. These are distinct published offers, so the latter configuration should not be assumed for the R63 storefront listing.

Administration features include a NoVNC HTML console, client-area VPS management, PTR record management, resource notifications and backups. Customers can choose from multiple Linux distributions or Windows Server options, and can manage firewall controls or use the managed firewall. Support is offered through tickets and documentation. These controls make the service a fit for technically capable individuals and teams who value root access and processor choice. Buyers who want the provider to install software or configure the server should look for a managed alternative, since those tasks remain the customer's responsibility here.
