## InterServer VPS pricing — 2026

InterServer uses a simple, transparent "slice" model: every step up adds more vCPU, RAM, and SSD storage at a flat, predictable price. Start small and scale up only when you need to — no surprise tiers.

| vCPU | RAM | SSD storage | Price / month |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 core | 2 GB | 40 GB | **$3** |
| 2 cores | 6 GB | 120 GB | $9 |
| 3 cores | 10 GB | 200 GB | $15 |
| 4 cores | 14 GB | 280 GB | $21 |
| 5 cores | 18 GB | 360 GB | $27 |

## Why this is more than just a cheap VPS

Plenty of providers advertise a low headline price and then nickel-and-dime you on essentials. Here's what makes InterServer's entry VPS actually worth it:

- **Custom ISO uploads.** Most budget hosts lock you to a fixed OS template list. InterServer lets you mount your own ISO, so you can run niche distros, custom firewall appliances, or a hardened image of your choosing — a feature usually reserved for pricier "self-managed" tiers.
- **A free IPv4 that's actually yours.** With IPv4 addresses scarcer and more expensive every year, getting a dedicated one bundled at $3/month is a real saving.
- **Fast, modern storage and network.** SSD-backed storage on a RAID-protected platform, paired with a 10 Gbps shared port on every plan.
- **Root access + your choice of OS.** Full control with Linux or Windows, plus free SSL and DDoS protection on the network.
- **US-based, three regions.** Dallas (central), New York City (east), and Los Angeles (west) keep latency low wherever your audience is.
- **99.9% uptime SLA** and 24/7 support behind it.

- **Developers** who need a cheap, disposable staging or test box with root access.
- **Self-hosters** running a VPN, Pi-hole, game server, Discord bot, or personal cloud.

## Beyond VPS — web hosting, cloud & dedicated

If a VPS isn't quite the right fit, InterServer also offers [web hosting](https://www.interserver.net/webhosting?id=1146728) (great for simple sites), plus cloud services and [dedicated servers](https://www.interserver.net/?id=1146728) when you need raw, single-tenant power. Same provider, same straightforward pricing.

## FAQ

### Is the $3/month price real, or just an intro rate?

The $3 entry plan (1 core / 2 GB RAM / 40 GB SSD) is the standard slice price, not a teaser that balloons at renewal. Use the WORLDIP code at checkout for the best deal.

### Do I really get a free IPv4 address?

Yes — a dedicated IPv4 is included with every VPS plan at no extra cost, along with the 10 Gbps shared port and no setup fee.

### Can I install my own operating system?

Yes. InterServer supports custom ISO uploads, so you're not limited to a preset template list — handy for specialised or hardened images.

### Where are the servers located?

You can deploy in Dallas, New York City, or Los Angeles. Choose the region closest to your visitors for the lowest latency.

### Can I upgrade later?

Yes — the slice model lets you scale vCPU, RAM, and storage up (all the way to 16 cores / 64 GB / 1280 GB SSD) as your needs grow.
