Rough estimate: an idle FreeBSD server plus typical per-service use. Large databases or heavy builds need more.

SSH in from anything. FreeBSD handles the network.
Use the terminal on macOS or Linux, Windows Terminal or PuTTY, or an SSH app on your phone. Your services keep running on the server after you log out.

FreeBSD at a glance
One system, not a distribution
FreeBSD develops the kernel and the base system together, so tools, manuals and behaviour are consistent. It is not Linux, though most open-source server software runs on it natively.

Linux VPS in Paris →Who it's for
What people run on FreeBSD VPS servers
What is a FreeBSD VPS?
A FreeBSD VPS is a virtual machine running FreeBSD, a Unix-like operating system (not Linux) known for ZFS, jails and the pf firewall, managed over SSH with full root access. At FlashRDP it comes as FreeBSD 15.0 or 14.x. It runs on KVM with 2–8 shared vCPU and 4–32 GB RAM in Phoenix or Paris, starts at $11.99 a month and is online in under 3 minutes. It is unmanaged: you install and update the software yourself.
FreeBSD VPS questions
Is FreeBSD a Linux distribution?
No. FreeBSD is a separate Unix-like operating system with its own kernel and base system. Most open-source server software runs on it natively, but Linux-only binaries may not.
Which FreeBSD versions can I install?
FreeBSD 15.0 and 14.3, 14.2, 14.1 and 14.0, plus 13.3 and 13.2 for legacy software. The 13 branch no longer gets security updates.
How do I connect to my FreeBSD VPS?
Run ssh root@your-server-ip with the password from your welcome email. Add your SSH key and turn off password login once you are in. FreeBSD's default root shell is csh. See the connection guide.
Can I use ZFS on a FreeBSD VPS?
Yes. ZFS is part of FreeBSD's base system. You can create pools on extra disk space or install with ZFS root through a custom ISO.
Can I run Docker on FreeBSD?
Not natively. Use jails for isolation, or choose a Linux distribution such as Debian if your stack depends on Docker.
Is my FreeBSD VPS managed?
No, it is unmanaged. You handle updates, backups and security inside the OS. We run the hardware, network and DDoS filtering, and publish uptime on the status page.
Do you offer FreeBSD dedicated servers?
No. FlashRDP sells KVM virtual servers, not bare-metal dedicated servers. A FreeBSD VPS still gives you root, the full base system and ZFS, with RAM and SSD storage allocated to your server; vCPUs are shared, so choose a larger plan for sustained heavy CPU use.
Can I run OpenBSD or NetBSD?
They aren't in the install list, but you can install them from your own ISO: mount it in the advanced Server Panel, or open a ticket and support will mount it for you. You set up and maintain the system yourself.
