Our verdict

Hostens keeps a deliberately narrow catalogue: one server type, VPS, billed monthly by a Lithuanian operator, which suits developers and small teams who want a predictable Linux or Windows host instead of a broad cloud menu. The entry VPS starts at $6 with 1 CPU core, 2 GB RAM, 25 GB disk space.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Entry at $6 covers 1 CPU core, 2 GB RAM, 25 GB disk space, enough for a staging box or a build runner.
  • The transfer allowance of 2 TB bandwidth is generous for a monthly plan.
  • Support runs on email, chat and help centre, and both stacks appear in linux and windows.

Cons

  • The uptime commitment is 99.5%, a modest figure for hosts that must stay reachable.
  • Billing runs on monthly terms, so a short burst still pays for a full month.
  • Server type is vps, so the catalogue stays on virtual machines.

Who it suits

  • Small teams wanting a straightforward Linux or Windows host on one monthly bill.
  • Readers with a transfer ceiling to meet, since entry ships 2 TB bandwidth.
  • Buyers who want chat and a help centre in the mix, at email, chat and help centre.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Shoppers chasing the lowest entry price: Aruba's entry price of €1.99 sits below Hostens at $6.
  • Buyers after dedicated hardware, since Hostens lists vps as its server type.

Core features

Hostens lists a single server type, VPS, and the entry plan gives 1 CPU core, 2 GB RAM, 25 GB disk space. Transfer comes in at 2 TB bandwidth, the number that matters most for builds, backups and anything shipping data out. Both limits sit on the same plan, so they are the two figures to weigh before comparing prices elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the cheapest Hostens VPS cost?+

The entry VPS is priced at $6 on monthly billing, and it comes with 1 CPU core, 2 GB RAM, 25 GB disk space. The median entry price across the VPS field sits at €5.63, so cheaper starting points exist and price alone does not settle the comparison. Billing follows monthly terms, so the monthly figure is what recurs.

What is included with the entry plan?+

The entry plan specifies 1 CPU core, 2 GB RAM, 25 GB disk space, paired with 2 TB bandwidth of transfer. Operating systems cover both stacks, since Hostens lists linux and windows, and the uptime figure to keep in view is 99.5% for anything that has to stay online. Both limits come on the same plan.

How much bandwidth do I get?+

The published allowance is 2 TB bandwidth, the practical ceiling for builds, backup jobs and busy sites. Nothing else in the entry package constrains data transfer as heavily, so it is the first number to check against your own traffic. Disk comes with 1 CPU core, 2 GB RAM, 25 GB disk space, so weight both figures together.

Does Hostens bill hourly?+

Hostens lists monthly as its billing model, so the cycle runs monthly. Monthly is also the most common model across the field, at 88.6%, which places Hostens with the majority rather than against it. Short trials therefore carry a full monthly cost.

Can I run Windows on a Hostens VPS?+

Hostens lists linux and windows among its operating systems, so Windows workloads are covered alongside Linux. Server type is vps, which keeps the range on virtual machines rather than dedicated hardware. Support options for either stack run on email, chat and help centre.

How do I reach Hostens support?+

Support runs on email, chat and help centre, so live chat and a help centre sit alongside email. Chat suits quick questions during working hours, while the help centre carries the repeatable ones. The uptime commitment to hold the provider to is 99.5%.

Who runs Hostens and where is it based?+

Hostens is run by UAB "Interneto vizija", registered in Lithuania. The company keeps a narrow focus on virtual machines, with vps the only server type listed, so the range stays deliberately small. Entry pricing starts at $6 on that same range.
