Notes	Recorded so the next session does not chase it: the Turkish lane's visible 'free VPS' offers are review-for-extension schemes on a paid order, not free capacity. Two adjacent shapes were checked and also fail: Cli>_ (cliopen.com) advertises a starter credit that requires completing billing details and a card verification through Apple, Google or Stripe, and Netlen runs a prize wheel that pays in domain and hosting vouchers against orders. Nothing in the Turkish lane gives an individual a free machine without first paying for one.

Free tier	The selling brand publishes one price floor and no plan card: 'Uniform rental rates across all countries - from 5.77 EUR per month' on the homepage, with KVM, NVMe in RAID 10, 'ports with a speed of 1-10 Gbps', unlimited traffic and presence 'in more than 50 countries'. No page read paired that price with vCPU, RAM or disk: /en/vps renders the marketing copy but its tariff cards are client-side, and /en/vps-configurator renders no numbers. The 12 tariff names are published on the review promotion page: Aluminium, Argentum, Ruthenium, Iridium, Palladium, Osmium, Aurum, Platinum, Rhodium, Mithril, Adamantium, Obsidian. The free test is 3 days and gated on an account, a sales ticket and KYC. unit minutes; metered on wall-clock; trial
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	unlimited traffic is stated: 'No Bandwidth Limits' and 'Enjoy complete freedom with unlimited traffic for your project' on the homepage, with no monthly byte figure published anywhere read
Identity	national-id The 3-day test requires four steps, quoted: 'Authorize - Log in or sign up for THE.Hosting', 'Create a request to the sales department with the subject VPS Test', then 'KYC verification - After verification, you will receive a server to test for 3 days.' The page names KYC and does not say which document, which country, or whether a card is also required, so the rung is national-id on the page's own word and not on a document list. Payment methods are not stated on any page read.
Limits	per-ip-shaping The only throughput wall the pages publish is the port, quoted as 'The servers run on the ports with a speed of 1-10 Gbps', while traffic is stated as unlimited. No byte counter is published, so the port is what a daytime transfer meets first.

Tooling	the order and account flow is a client area at client.the.hosting running BILLmanager, linked from the trial page as billmgr?startform=v2.vds.order.pricelist; no public API is documented on the pages read. A client would be a browser session or a wrapper around that panel. That is a tooling note, not a verdict.
Composes with	nothing to chain: the operator announced permanent discontinuation of all services, disabled ordering and renewals, and said accounts and data will be deleted. A machine that will be erased is not a place to put the archive index or a crawler front end.
Reliability	2026-05-30 first-party notice: permanent discontinuation of all services, registration, ordering and renewals disabled, accounts and data to be permanently deleted.
Notes	Two pages on the same site disagree and both return 200, which is the finding. The marketing pages (homepage, /en/vps, /en/test-vps, /en/gift-vps) still advertise capacity and a 3-day trial; the news notice dated 2026-05-30 says the business is closing and ordering is disabled. The notice is newer and is the authoritative statement about availability, so the verdict is dead, but the execution was not observed: a probe of the order pricelist at client.the.hosting returned broker exit 4, which is the broker refusing and establishes nothing about the provider, and no account was created and no payment details were entered. If the wind-down is reversed, this record flips to trial-only with a 3-day test gated on KYC. Routes tried: read https://the.hosting/en/ (0), /en/vps (0), /en/vps-vds (exit 1, 404), /en/test-vps (0), /en/gift-vps (0), /en/services (0), /en/vps-configurator (0), /en/contacts (exit 1, extractor refused a 9-word page), /en/news/ (0), /en/news/notice-of-service-discontinuation-and-account-closure (0), /sitemap.xml (0), /uploads/sitemap_en.xml (0), /uploads/category_pages.xml (0, lastmod 2026-05-17 on every entry), and fetch https://client.the.hosting/billmgr?startform=v2.vds.order.pricelist (exit 4, no page reached). would-settle: whether provisioning has actually stopped, which only an order attempt or a support reply would show, and whether the entity behind the.hosting is the entity that now runs the pq.hosting catalog.
