TakeHost VPS review
European KVM VPS with root access, NVMe storage and one-click app installs.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
TakeHost VPS offers KVM-based virtual private servers in European datacenters, including France, Poland, Germany and the Netherlands. It suits developers and businesses that want root-level control over configurable Linux or other operating-system virtual machines, along with one-click application installs. The service runs in the cloud and is available through the web. Its broad workload fit makes it relevant to solo users through enterprises, though buyers should check availability and the terms of the specific plan they need.
The France plan lineup ranges from a 1 GB option with 1 vCPU core, 12 GB NVMe and unlimited bandwidth, to a 32 GB option with 12 vCPU cores, 250 GB NVMe and unlimited bandwidth. The France 1 GB plan is listed at €14 as a one-time annual charge, while monthly France plans begin with France 2 GB at €10 per month and rise through France 4 GB at €20, France 6 GB at €30, France 8 GB at €40, France 16 GB at €50 and France 24 GB at €60. The €4/month France offer was marked sold out, as were the displayed France plans. This pricing structure can suit buyers who need to size compute and storage, but prospective customers should verify availability before choosing around a particular tier.
The standout practical combination is root access and OS choice with automated provisioning in about 60 seconds, DDoS protection, IPv6 and network connectivity up to 25 Gbps depending on location. One-click options include WordPress, NextCloud, OpenVPN, Cloudron, GitLab, MariaDB, NGINX, Jenkins, cPanel, Plesk, Jitsi Meet and Docker. TOTP two-factor authentication is also listed, and the service states GDPR compliance. Support is available 24/7 through tickets, email, community and documentation. The main drawback for cautious buyers is the one-day refund period; those who need a longer evaluation window should consider another provider. TakeHost is a fit for technically comfortable buyers who value control and application choices, less so for anyone who needs a generous trial or immediate access to the displayed France tiers.
