| Free tier | No free tier: every B1 server carries an hourly and a monthly price. The cheapest hourly configuration is B1-4, 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and a 50 GB OS disk, at EUR 0.00916 per hour or EUR 6.82 per month, prices including 19% VAT. unit none; metered on wall-clock; the page lists seven B1 flavours, B1-4 to B1-48, and four LB1 load-balancer flavours, each with a 50 GB OS disk; a public IPv4 is a per-server option at EUR 0.002023 per hour and EUR 1.50 per month; volume, snapshot, backup and image storage are priced separately; no GPU or ARM flavour is listed |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
no traffic allowance, bandwidth cap or request rate is published for ph24 Cloud; whether a stopped server still bills was not stated |
| Binding | per-object-cap the 50 GB OS disk is the only published cap and the first wall a job meets; a larger disk needs a separate volume, and no traffic or request limit is published to bind before it |
| Identity | email registration needs a user name, an e-mail address and a password; the account is prepaid in euro and is charged by PayPal, Sofort, paysafecard or credit card |
| Egress | no traffic allowance and no price per GB are published on the cloud page free allowance: not stated |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: the unit is a machine, not an object; every B1 flavour ships with a 50 GB OS disk, and further storage is a separate volume at EUR 0.000476 per hour and EUR 0.36 per month |
| Retention | not applicable: the unit is a machine, not stored bytes; the service is prepaid from a customer account in euro, and every flavour carries both an hourly and a monthly price |
| Interface | rest a public OpenAPI 3.1 document at https://ph24.io/service/api-docs/public lists the cloud API: create, update and delete a server, volumes, network ports, floating IPs, load balancers and Kubernetes clusters; the API is served from https://ph24.io/service endpoint: https://ph24.io/service |
| Tooling | the public REST API and its OpenAPI document; the vendor's API page names a Terraform-compatible cloud API and Kubernetes CRDs; no CLI or SDK was read |
| Composes with | A B1-4 with a public IPv4 is a full KVM server that can be created and destroyed through the API, so a job that runs for hours is billed for those hours only and the machine can be rebuilt from an image for the next run; the vendor's monthly VPS line is the alternative for a machine that stays up all month |
| Reliability | the vendor's status page lists 100% uptime for Cloud API eu-central and KVM FRA1, and 98.9% for Backup FRA1 |
| Notes | the hourly price is the one to compare against other cloud VMs and the monthly figure is the price of a full month; the public IPv4 is a per-server option and the storage tables price volume, snapshot, backup and image separately; the cloud is reached through a public API, so a machine can be scripted end to end |
| Evidence note | documented the price table, the shapes, the VAT and the billing unit come from the vendor's cloud page; the API comes from the vendor's OpenAPI document; nothing was probed, so no value is measured |
