Pros and cons
Pros
- Bandwidth is included rather than billed from the first gigabyte, since No egress fee; bandwidth included, overages USD 0.25 per GB
- Servers span 24 to 25 locations across US, NL and DE
- Cloud instances bill hourly or monthly under hourly and monthly, with hourly billing
- DDoS protection is included, and PCI DSS, SSAE and SOC 1 Type II cover the data centres
Cons
- Support runs on chat and help centre only, with no phone or email listed
- Regions cover US, NL and DE and no more, so some markets fall outside the footprint
- Uptime commitment is 99.9%, below the level some buyers expect
Who it suits
- Game server operators, the stated game server
- Teams that need dedicated vps and bare metal capacity with predictable monthly cost
- Buyers whose data handling requires PCI DSS, SSAE and SOC 1 Type II
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who need email or phone support, since support runs on chat and help centre
- SberCloud, whose hourly covers hourly billing only
- Aruba and UCloud, whose monthly and monthly are monthly only
What it does well
Limestone Networks runs capacity in 24 to 25 locations, and the listed regions are US, NL and DE. That spread covers North America, Western Europe and parts of Asia, so a deployment can sit close to players in several markets without a second provider. Storage is limited to block, and the catalogue covers vps and bare metal for teams moving between shared and dedicated hardware.
Who runs it
The provider is Limestone Networks, Inc., headquartered in the United States and operating since 2007. That is a long run for a compute business and shows the company has outlived several market cycles. Buyers reach it through chat and help centre, so self-service documentation does part of the work that a wider support roster would otherwise cover.

Frequently asked questions
What does bandwidth cost on Limestone Networks?+
Bandwidth is included with the server, and No egress fee; bandwidth included, overages USD 0.25 per GB sets how overages are handled beyond that allowance. A separate egress price of $0.25 applies once traffic passes the included amount, so heavy transfer workloads cost more than light ones.
Which GPU cards can I rent?+
The listed NVIDIA RTX 5090, NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell and NVIDIA A100 80GB SXM range spans consumer and workstation cards through data center parts built for large training runs. GPU work starts at $1.25, and multi-GPU boxes link with NVLink and NVSwitch, up to 800Gb/s InfiniBand for jobs that need fast card to card transfers.
How is a server billed?+
Cloud instances follow hourly and monthly, and hourly is the billing granularity, so a short test does not commit you to a full month. Monthly billing suits steady production hosts. The same GPU and bandwidth terms apply to bare metal and VPS capacity.
Which countries can I deploy in?+
Available regions are US, NL and DE, spread across 24 to 25 data centre locations. Workloads needing a country outside that list would sit far from users, so check the region list against your audience before ordering.
What certifications do the data centres hold?+
The stated PCI DSS, SSAE and SOC 1 Type II cover the facilities, which is the usual shortlist for payment and health data handlers. DDoS protection is included as standard, so basic attack mitigation needs no add-on. An uptime commitment of 99.9% applies under the service level agreement.
How do I reach support?+
Support runs through chat and help centre, giving you live chat and a help centre. There is no phone or email route listed, so urgent incidents depend on chat response times. Teams that need a named contact should weigh that against 99.9% uptime.
Do I pay to transfer data out?+
Ingress is free and every server carries an included egress allotment, with overages billed per GB. No egress fee; bandwidth included, overages USD 0.25 per GB covers the whole arrangement, and $0.25 gives the overage rate. Bandwidth-heavy sites should model the overage before sizing a plan.
What kind of servers can I order?+
The catalogue spans vps and bare metal, so a small VPS and a dedicated box come from the same provider. Storage options are block, which suits workloads needing attached volumes rather than object storage. Game servers are a stated game server.
