Custom VPS in the Netherlands: build an Amsterdam server to the size you actually need

The same way as in Riga, from three component rates: EUR 5.00 per vCPU, EUR 1.50 per GB of RAM and EUR 0.15 per GB of NVMe, per month, net of VAT. The order of the maths matters. First the hardware subtotal is rounded up to the whole euro, then the term discount is applied to that rounded figure, and traffic is added at the end: the first 1 TB a month is included and every further TB costs EUR 1.00. The Amsterdam region adds nothing on top of any of this. The calculator runs the same steps on every change, so the figure you see on the page is the figure that lands on the invoice.

No. The component rates are identical in both regions, so the same configuration costs the same in Amsterdam (NL1) and in Riga (RIX1), to the cent. Riga is our own Tier 3+ data centre, Amsterdam is our second region in the Netherlands, and both sit on our own network, AS58269. That means the choice comes down to latency and jurisdiction, not price: pick Amsterdam when your users are in Western Europe, Riga when they are in the Baltics and nearby markets. Dubai is planned as a third region but is not live yet, so if you need it, talk to support first.

Whenever a plan matches your size. The component rates are fitted to the ready plans, so a machine you build by hand is never cheaper than the equivalent plan, and the plans include more traffic as they grow. The Netherlands VPS plans start at 11.00 EUR a month, 9.35 EUR a month effective on 12 month billing, and run up to 16 vCPU, 128 GB of RAM and 2 TB of NVMe at 572.00 EUR a month, with daily backups on every plan and hourly snapshots and cross-region copies depending on the plan. Keep this calculator for the ratios the plans do not cover.

Before payment, yes, in two steps. In the cart the term, the OS image and the data centre stay changeable, so you can still switch to the 12 month term and take the 15% discount, or swap the image, without rebuilding anything. To change the cores, RAM, disk or traffic, go back to the calculator, build the configuration again and send it to the cart afresh; nothing is charged until you complete the payment. Once the server is live, resizing goes through support rather than this page: write to us with the size you need and we will arrange the change.

The same images as in Riga. On Linux you can pick Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS or AlmaLinux, and Windows Server comes with the licence included, so no separate Windows fee appears on the invoice. The image is installed automatically as part of provisioning, and you log in as root on Linux or as Administrator on Windows as soon as the server is up. MikroTik CHR is not offered in this calculator, it is a separate product with its own page. If the system you need is missing from the list, ask support before you order.

All prices on this page are net of VAT. Latvian VAT of 21% is added where applicable, and EU businesses with a valid VIES VAT number are reverse charged at 0%, so they pay the net figure. The term discounts are 5% on 3 months, 10% on 6 months and 15% on 12 months, applied to the hardware subtotal after the round up to the whole euro; traffic is charged at list price and the discount does not apply to it. The location makes no difference to any of this: an Amsterdam machine is invoiced exactly like a Riga one.

Amsterdam is one of the best connected internet hubs in Europe, home of AMS-IX, and sits a few milliseconds from London, Frankfurt and Paris. Your server gets a 1 Gbps port, 1 IPv4 address and private networking to your other machines, and traffic runs on our own network, AS58269, and our own IP space. The server is live 30 to 60 seconds after payment and is covered by the same 99.9% SLA as every VPS we run, so the second region is not a second-class one.
