Tier.Net review

The entry VPS is priced at $7.49 per month and comes with 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 30 GB SSD RAID 10, with linux and windows as the listed operating systems. That is above the site median entry price of €5.83, and above the entry figure at UCloud, $5.34, so the extra memory is the trade.

Tier.Net lists monthly billing, so the entry VPS and the plans above it run on a monthly cycle. Hourly and per second billing are not among its billing models, which suits steady workloads rather than jobs you need only for minutes at a time.

The entry VPS comes with 2 TB @ 1 Gbps of transfer included, a flat allowance rather than a per gigabyte meter, which keeps the monthly bill predictable for game servers and busy small sites.

The footprint is 6 locations, and US is the only region listed. That keeps latency low for US traffic, but it leaves no listed region for users in Europe or Asia who need a server closer to them.

The listed certifications cover FISMA, SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II, which is the paperwork buyers in regulated industries ask for before signing. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 sit at the centre of that set for enterprise procurement, alongside PCI-DSS for anything handling card data.

Support runs on email, phone and chat, so a phone line, live chat, email and a help centre are all listed for VPS customers. Live voice and chat matters most for game servers, where a stalled service is visible to players within seconds.

Yes. The listed server types cover VPS and bare-metal, so a project can start on a shared VPS and move to dedicated hardware at the same company. A 99.99% uptime commitment is published, and DDoS protection is included.

Aruba lists entry at €1.99 and UCloud at $5.34, both under Tier.Net's $7.49. SberCloud quotes RUB 23.75 in rubles. Tier.Net trades the lowest entry outlay for more memory and a larger bandwidth allowance.
