FreeBSD VPS

FreeBSD 14 on hardware we own. ZFS out of the box, jails for lightweight virtualization, and a networking stack that puts Linux to shame for raw throughput. If you know, you know.

Deploy FreeBSD VPS

Why FreeBSD

✓
ZFS. The most advanced filesystem in production. Snapshots, compression, checksums, RAID-Z. All built in.
✓
Jails. Lightweight OS-level virtualization. Run isolated services without the overhead of full VMs.
✓
Network performance. FreeBSD's TCP/IP stack is legendary. Netflix runs their entire CDN on FreeBSD for a reason.
✓
Ports + packages. 30,000+ packages via pkg. Or compile from ports if you want full control over build options.

Perfect for

Storage servers

ZFS snapshots, send/receive replication, built-in compression. The storage OS.

Network appliances

pfSense and OPNsense are built on FreeBSD. Run your own router, firewall, or VPN gateway.

Web serving

nginx + PHP/Python/Ruby on FreeBSD is rock solid. Jails give you clean isolation between sites.

Database servers

PostgreSQL on FreeBSD + ZFS is a proven production stack. ARC caching complements database workloads.

CDN / proxy nodes

Netflix chose FreeBSD for their Open Connect CDN. Enough said.

Because Linux isn't the only option

Different license, different culture, different priorities. Some workloads just run better on BSD.

Frequently asked questions

Which FreeBSD version is available?

FreeBSD 14, the latest production release. We update the template when new releases come out.

Is ZFS available?

The OS supports ZFS natively. You can create zpools and datasets on your allocated storage.

Can I use jails?

Yes. Full jail support is available. Create as many jails as your resources allow.

Do I get full root access?

Yes. SSH root login with password or key authentication. Do whatever you want with the system.

Where are FreeBSD servers hosted?

Montreal, Canada on our owned hardware. 10Gbps connectivity, NVMe storage, dedicated resources.

Is the guest agent supported?

Yes. The QEMU guest agent is pre-installed so dashboard actions (password changes, SSH keys) work without SSHing in.
