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

Linux VPS in Paris →Who it's for
What people run on a Linux VPS
What is a Linux VPS?
A Linux VPS is a virtual machine running a Linux distribution that you manage over SSH as root. At FlashRDP it runs on KVM with 2–8 shared vCPU and 4–32 GB RAM in Phoenix or Paris, offers 10 distributions including Ubuntu, Debian and Rocky Linux, starts at $11.99 a month and is online in under 3 minutes. It is unmanaged: the operating system is yours to run.
Linux VPS questions
Which Linux distributions can I install?
Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, CentOS, Oracle Linux, Fedora, Alpine Linux, Arch Linux and openSUSE, each in several versions (listed above). See the distribution list for every image.
Can I switch to a different distribution later?
Yes. Reinstall any supported distribution from the control panel at any time. Reinstalling wipes the disk, so back up first.
Do I get full root access?
Yes. You log in as root over SSH and control the kernel modules, firewall, services and networking. Nothing is locked down on our side.
Can I install from my own ISO?
Yes. If the distribution or kernel you need isn't on the list, open a support ticket and we'll mount a custom ISO so you can install it yourself. See the custom ISO guide.
Are the vCPUs dedicated or shared?
Shared. Plans run on KVM with 2–8 shared vCPU on Intel Xeon hosts. That keeps prices low; if a workload needs sustained full CPU, pick a larger plan.
Is the Linux VPS managed?
No, it is unmanaged. You install, update and secure the software. We run the hardware, network and DDoS filtering, and publish uptime on the status page.
Phoenix or Paris: which should I pick?
Pick the location closer to your users. Phoenix runs on NVMe storage; Paris runs on SATA SSD. Prices and plans are the same in both.
Is DDoS protection included?
Yes. Every server has always-on Layer 4 DDoS filtering, its own IPv4 address and a 1 Gbps port, at no extra cost.
