Rootium VPS review
Low monthly prices across general VPS plans; documented DDoS protection is on E3 NVMe tiers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Rootium VPS provides KVM virtual private servers for websites, applications, development projects and business workloads. Its range spans general-purpose Nano through Enterprise plans and a separate E3 NVMe line. The monthly entry price is $2.45 for Nano VPS, while buyers specifically seeking documented DDoS protection should compare the E3 NVMe plans, which start at $6.99. Linux and Windows options, full root access on E3, and Dallas and Seattle locations make the offering relevant to customers who want control over a cloud VPS and can manage its software themselves.
The plan split is important. Nano VPS at $2.45/month includes 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD and 1 TB bandwidth; the general range rises through Starter, Pro, Advanced, Performance and Enterprise, reaching $39.95/month for 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 300 GB SSD and 10 TB bandwidth. Those listed general plans use SSD and KVM virtualization. E3 NVMe is priced separately: the 1 GB tier costs $6.99/month with 1 vCPU, 20 GB NVMe SSD and 1 TB monthly transfer, while the 2 GB tier costs $12.99/month with 2 vCPU, 50 GB NVMe SSD and 2 TB monthly transfer. Both E3 tiers specify 20 Gbps DDoS protection, full root access and instant deployment.
Protection should be the deciding comparison point rather than the lowest advertised price. Rootium says the E3 NVMe service is unmanaged, so it suits buyers comfortable handling server administration; instant deployment does not remove that responsibility. The documented 20 Gbps protection and NVMe storage are specific to E3, while the broader lineup offers lower monthly pricing and a wider range of resource sizes. Choose an E3 plan if those stated protection and storage features justify the higher starting price. If the priority is the lowest monthly cost or a managed server, this set of plans may not fit.
