Our verdict
GleSYS suits developers and small teams in SE and FI who want cheap hourly compute with room to move up to bare metal. The entry VPS starts at €4.42, and object storage egress is billed at €0, a pricing shape few providers in this group offer.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The entry plan at €4.42 covers 1 vCPU, 0.5 GB RAM, 5 GB NVMe.
- The VPS range includes 32 TB transfer included.
- Object storage costs €0.06 per GB per month, and outbound traffic carries no charge, so egress is €0.
- GleSYS holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and sells vps and bare metal from one catalogue.
Cons
- The footprint is SE and FI with 5 locations, and object storage is limited to 2 regions.
- The entry plan is 1 vCPU, 0.5 GB RAM, 5 GB NVMe, which leaves little headroom for anything beyond light workloads.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no live chat channel in the list.
Who it suits
- Developers and small teams in SE and FI who want a low-cost hourly box and no egress bill.
- Teams that will grow into dedicated hardware, since vps and bare metal share one catalogue.
- Builders who leave servers running for short bursts and care that 32 TB transfer included is included.
Who should look elsewhere
- Aruba, whose entry price of €1.99 sits below GleSYS's €4.42 when the smallest first invoice decides the choice.
- SberCloud, listed at RUB 23.75, for readers who want a ruble-quoted option rather than a euro one.
The company behind it
GleSYS is headquartered in Sweden and has been in business since 1999, so it is a long-established operator rather than a new entrant. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which puts phone contact alongside email, a help centre and a community space. For buyers, that mix often matters as much as the headline price, since reachability during an incident is a deciding factor.

Frequently asked questions
What does the cheapest GleSYS VPS cost and what do you get?+
The entry plan is listed at €4.42 and comes with 1 vCPU, 0.5 GB RAM, 5 GB NVMe. That is the starting point of the KVM VPS range, and the same catalogue is billed on hourly and monthly terms, so a short test and a small permanent box use the same plan.
Is the entry price introductory, and what happens at renewal?+
Nothing in the listed pricing marks the entry rate as a promotion. GleSYS bills hourly and monthly, and the entry plan is also priced hourly (hourly), so the €4.42 figure reads as the standing rate rather than a first-period offer that later rises.
How much transfer comes with a GleSYS VPS?+
The VPS plans include 32 TB transfer included, which is generous for a small box running builds, containers or a personal site. The allowance sits with the plan itself, and hourly billing means a quick trial does not require paying for a whole month.
Where are GleSYS servers located?+
GleSYS runs 5 locations, listed across SE and FI. That is a regional footprint rather than a global one, so workloads serving users far from the region sit further from the hardware than they would at a provider with a wider network.
What does GleSYS charge for object storage and egress?+
Object storage runs €0.06 per GB per month and is S3-compatible. Moving data out costs nothing, and the egress rate is €0, which suits serving files or holding backups without a rising transfer bill.
Can I run Linux and Windows, and is bare metal available?+
Both operating systems are supported: linux and windows. The catalogue also covers vps and bare metal, so a team can start on the entry VPS and move to dedicated hardware later without changing provider or rebuilding its account structure.
What uptime does GleSYS commit to?+
The published service level runs 99.3% to 99.95%. That is a tiered commitment rather than a single headline figure, so check which tier your plan and region sit under before treating it as a firm guarantee for a particular workload.
Is GleSYS certified for security and quality?+
GleSYS lists ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022, covering quality, environmental management and information security. Those are the reference point for a supplier questionnaire, and the certificate scope and expiry are worth asking GleSYS for directly before signing.
