Pros and cons
Pros
- The VPS Lite entry price is CHF 2.70, and that plan includes 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe.
- VPS Lite bandwidth is Unlimited traffic, 500 Mb/s, with DDoS protection on the VPS plans.
- Public cloud storage includes 10,000 of outgoing traffic per month per organisation.
- Support runs on email, phone and chat, and VPS Cloud carries a 99.99% uptime commitment.
Cons
- Narrow footprint: VPS Lite runs in CH and the account lists 1 location.
- Bare metal is not among its server types (vps), so a larger box means moving to a different line.
Who it suits
- Small teams that want a full entry spec rather than a token server, given 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe at the entry price
- Game server operators, since a game server is the listed use case
- Readers who need phone help, because support runs on email, phone and chat
Who should look elsewhere
- Aruba, if you want more than 1 location and a euro entry price of €1.99
- UCloud, if hourly billing matters, because Infomaniak bills monthly only
- SberCloud, for readers who price compute in roubles, listed at RUB 23.75, rather than the Swiss franc on CHF 2.70

Frequently asked questions
What does the cheapest Infomaniak VPS include?+
The VPS Lite entry plan is CHF 2.70 and comes with 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe. That specification is the whole entry tier, and it is the number to set beside the starting price of any other provider. Billing for it runs monthly.
How much bandwidth does the entry plan allow?+
The VPS Lite bandwidth allowance is Unlimited traffic, 500 Mb/s. Transfer is therefore not what pushes you onto a larger plan; the ceiling is the compute in 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe. Heavy builds and busy services will fill that faster than the pipe will.
Does Infomaniak bill hourly or only monthly?+
The listed billing models are monthly, so hourly and reserved terms are not among them. A server idling overnight costs the same as one working a full shift, which suits steady workloads and punishes short experiments.
Which regions can I place a server in?+
VPS Lite runs in Switzerland, and the public cloud spans 2 regions. Infomaniak Network SA is registered in Switzerland and lists 1 location. Workloads with users far from Switzerland get the longest round trips.
Is DDoS protection and an uptime guarantee included?+
DDoS protection is included on the VPS plans. The published uptime commitment is 99.99%, and it is stated for VPS Cloud rather than for the entry VPS Lite plan. Treat it as a cloud figure, not a promise attached to the entry tier.
How much do storage and outgoing traffic cost?+
Storage types are object and block, with S3 compatible object storage. Outgoing traffic of 10,000 per month is included, and the allowance applies per organisation rather than per server. Storage is listed at CHF 0.0017 per GB per month.
What support channels are available?+
Support runs on email, phone and chat, so phone and chat sit alongside email and a help centre. Phone is the standout channel, and it is the one to check for coverage in your own language and hours.
Which operating systems can the VPS run?+
The listed operating systems are linux and windows. The entry plan's 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe is a small footprint, so a Windows workload has less headroom than a Linux one, and adding memory is the first upgrade most buyers take.
Which certifications and labels does Infomaniak hold?+
Infomaniak lists ISO 27001:2022, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 among its certifications and labels. The list mixes management system standards with data protection rules and Swiss labelling, which is useful for buyers who have to answer a supplier questionnaire.
