Two things do not line up: the site says the company is 'based in London W1S 1HN' while the register gives a Harrow HA3 8DP registered office, which is a formation-agent address, and the seller operates Romanian infrastructure with a +40 phone number. None of that makes it NATKVM, which was dissolved while still selling; it makes it a two-year-old company with a renamed history, which is worth knowing before paying a year up front. The price is also a 17% discount off USD 5.99, so the renewal is over the line.","extras":{"shape":{"vcpu":2,"ram_gib":2,"disk_gib":30,"gpu_class":null,"gpu_count":null},"billing_model":"monthly","term":"monthly","m10h_usd":4.99,"m24h_usd":4.99,"price_arithmetic":"USD 4.99 a month against a USD 5.99 list, a 17% discount; no conversion needed.","out_of_pocket_usd":4.99,"renewal_usd":5.99,"renewal_note":"USD 5.99 list price, which is the renewal if the 17% discount is withdrawn","promo":true,"over_line":false,"fx":{"pair":"USD/USD","rate":1,"date":"2026-10-24","source":"not applicable"},"gib_per_usd":0.4008,"locations":"Romania (Bucharest offer), with France, Finland and the Netherlands also listed","free_tier_kind":"none","network_out":{"allow_outbound":true,"allow_inbound_listen":true,"ports":"all","static_ip":true,"ipv6":true,"per_session_bytes":null},"session_cap":{"wall_clock_min":null,"idle_reap_s":null,"restart_required":false,"note":"none; it is a VPS"}}},"claims":[{"path":"$.extras.m10h_usd","kind":"price","num":4.99,"unit":null,"per":"month","currency":"USD","usd":4.99,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.extras.m24h_usd","kind":"price","num":4.99,"unit":null,"per":"month","currency":"USD","usd":4.99,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.extras.renewal_usd","kind":"price","num":5.99,"unit":null,"per":"month","currency":"USD","usd":5.99,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.free_tier.stated","kind":"free-quota","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"},{"path":"$.limits[0].value","kind":"limit:per-ip-shaping","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"}],"unknown":[["$.per_object_cap.stated","not-applicable"],["$.reliability_note","none-observed"]],"history":[],"drift":[]}
