Hosting.nl VPS review
A low-cost Dutch Linux VPS with root access, snapshots and fair-use unlimited bandwidth.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hosting.nl VPS provides self-managed virtual servers on an OpenStack cloud platform, hosted in Amsterdam. It suits developers, agencies, startups, online stores and other users who want an independently managed Linux server in the Netherlands. Full root access and a browser terminal provide server-level control, while selectable images include Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky, pfSense and AlmaLinux. This is a practical fit for buyers comfortable handling their own server administration, rather than those seeking a managed hosting service.
The published monthly plans start at €7.70 for 1 vCPU core, 1 GB RAM and 16 GB NVMe storage. The €10.46 plan keeps 1 vCPU and 16 GB NVMe but raises memory to 2 GB. Larger options listed are €29.13 for 4 vCPU cores and 8 GB RAM, and €54.02 for 8 cores and 16 GB RAM; both retain 16 GB NVMe storage. Each plan describes bandwidth as unlimited subject to fair use. Prices exclude VAT. Buyers should compare the fixed storage allocation with their workload needs, particularly when choosing a higher-CPU plan.
Snapshots with one-click restore, capacity upgrades or downgrades, and IPv4 and IPv6 add useful operational flexibility. Support is available by email, chat, phone and documentation, though it is not 24/7. Hosting.nl is based in Zwolle, was founded in 1997, and lists GDPR compliance. Choose this service if Dutch hosting, root access and low monthly entry pricing matter more than managed operations. Those who want a provider to administer the VPS, or need a stated numeric bandwidth allowance or around-the-clock support, should compare alternatives.
