| Free tier | Starter 2GB VPS at USD 16.99/year (USD 1.42/month): 1 Intel Xeon core at 2.0 GHz or faster, 2 GB guaranteed memory, 30 GB NVMe, unmetered bandwidth on a 1 Gbps shared port, Linux SSH and root. The 8 GB plan is USD 59.99/year with 2 cores and 60 GB NVMe; the 16 GB plan is USD 111.11/year with 4 cores and 240 GB NVMe.

| Notes | The order links point at vpshostingservice.co rather than serverhost.com, and the promo code is part of the URL, so the price is a campaign rate rather than a list rate. The renewal rate is not stated anywhere on the page and is left null. LowEndBox carries the same offer independently, which is why the shape is recorded rather than only the headline. Not in dossier/compute (searched: serverhost, no record). |

compute/serverhostsays card, compute/serverhost-2gb-promo says email
| Free tier | No free tier. The advertised entry plan is USD 16.99 a year for 2 GB with the promo code FBAD2GB2026, which is USD 1.42 a month. unit none; metered on none |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Per-object cap | not applicable |
| Retention | The VPS persists while the annual term is paid; the promo page states no deletion schedule. |
| Egress | The page's headline says 'Unmetered Bandwidth' on a 1 Gbps port and states no cap or throttle. free_allowance: unmetered |
| Identity | email Self-service order with an email account and a promo code. The page read today states no card hold and lists no payment methods, so the accepted card, PayPal or crypto routes are not established. |
| Limits |
|
| Binding | per-ip-shaping The binding thing is not a quota but the promo code: the price exists only through that URL parameter, and the page publishes no renewal price. |
| Interface | ssh KVM guest, root SSH, NVMe storage, 1 Gbps port. |
| Tooling | Any SSH client; KVM, so its own kernel. |
| Composes with | The best shape-per-dollar just above the line: 2 GB and 30 GB NVMe for USD 16.99 a year, useful when 1 GB will not hold both a WireGuard peer and a monitor. |
| Reliability | The offer is a June 2026 advertising page still served in October, so the price is a campaign that can end without notice. |
| Notes | This refutes the framing that ServerHost's USD 16.99 a year is a sub-USD-1-a-month machine. It is USD 1.42 a month, and the renewal price is not published, so even that figure is a first-term figure. RENEWAL PASS 2026-10-24: this is the clearest first-term promo. The discount arrives as a promo code on an annual billing cycle, and the same billing system publishes a monthly list price for the identical shape at 4.2x the promo's effective rate. Nothing read today says what year 2 costs, so the row stays paid-only and the renewal stays unpublished. Note the read caveat: the sale page came from a stored snapshot dated 2026-10-22, not a live fetch. |
| Evidence rung | documented Price, code, shape and the unmetered claim are quoted from the vendor's page read today. The renewal price is not published, which is why this is not a clean figure. |
