We see internet censorship and digital surveillance growing worldwide. Besides that, even larger hosting providers face regular technical challenges.
Against this backdrop, we’re giving Amnezia Cloud Hosting, our own platform, a wide release.
In this article, we break down who this service is useful for, its cost, why we chose the cloud model specifically, and how we arrived at the idea of a separate hosting service in the first place.
A Brief History of Amnezia Cloud Hosting
We launched Amnezia Hosting back in the summer of 2025 — as an experiment. It appeared as a platform for Amnezia Self-hosted users: you come in and deploy your server on a ready-made VPS(Virtual Private Server) configuration, without digging through plans.
The experiment worked: in the first year, 10,000 users joined us
In the summer of 2026, we built a cloud on our own hardware and moved all the servers there — the infrastructure became more stable, more secure, and more resilient to failures. Dedicated servers were added to the VPS offering, along with business services.
That’s how Amnezia Hosting became Amnezia Cloud Hosting.
How Amnezia Cloud Hosting Grows with Your Needs
All our products — from a VPS at $5.50/month to dedicated servers — run on a single OpenStack cloud platform and our own hardware. But what is even a “cloud platform”?
Ordinary hosting is an apartment: when it gets cramped, you pack up and move to a bigger one. Cloud hosting is an office in a business center: you need another room or a storage closet, and it’s added to the bill, but the desks and printers stay where they are.
Technically, it works like this: with ordinary hosting, the server and disks live on one physical machine. If it breaks, the server goes down. In the cloud, resources are drawn from a shared pool, and disks are kept in distributed storage with copies on several machines.
The server isn’t tied to the hardware: it can be expanded rather than replaced wholesale
For you, this means one thing: the server grows along with the project. Running low on compute or space? We’ll add it on the same server in a couple of minutes. Has the project grown into needing its own infrastructure? We’ll provide it with no extra migrations.

Which Amnezia Cloud Hosting Plan to Choose
In our experience:
- Advanced — a universal plan for most tasks.
- Pro and Pro Plus — for when you need parallel computing, for example to distribute peak load, process large data sets, or train AI models.
- Power and Max — expand the RAM headroom for active work with databases, caching, or hosting several services.
- Ultra — covers high demands for computing power and RAM, for example for projects with thousands of visitors a day, Docker/Kubernetes nodes, and internal corporate services.
Each additional gigabyte of SSD storage will cost $0.15/month.

VPS for Personal Use
Let’s go over the Amnezia Cloud Hosting plans and the tasks they solve in more detail.
Important: you save 5, 10, or 15% if you pay for Amnezia Cloud Hosting for 3, 6, or 12 months at once
Start — for the simplest tasks
Ideal for launching your own self-hosted VPN on a single protocol for 1–2 users, or setting up a lightweight script.
Basic — for small projects
Besides a family VPN, it suits simple Telegram bots: 2 GB of RAM gives Amnezia VPN and its protocols more room compared to Start.
Advanced — a universal server
A balanced foundation for apps and databases: 2 vCPUsVirtual CPU and 4 GB of RAM are quite enough. It suits family access to social media and AI chatbots through Amnezia VPN.
Pro — for parallel tasks
A site with a small PostgreSQL/MySQL database, an API or n8n for simple integrations, background workers, or an API with computational logic. Twice as many vCPUs and SSD as Advanced. A brochure site, a game server, bots, monitoring, and much more.
Pro Plus — for apps with databases and caching
A small online store, a CRMCustomer Relationship Management system, and more complex n8n automations. PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and MongoDB databases will also be comfortable within Pro Plus. If several components run on a single VPS at once and the data flow grows, 8 GB of RAM will handle the load.
Power — for elevated computational load
Your own CIContinuous Integration runner, building applications, parallel background workers, batch imports, and data transformation.
Max — for services with higher memory needs
An app with PostgreSQL and Redis, Nextcloud for a small team, GitLab without heavy CI builds on the same VPS. Compared to Power, 16 GB of RAM gives more room for databases, caching, and running components at the same time.
Ultra — for resource-intensive services and multiple projects
A development and testing environment, parallel workers with high RAM consumption, an app with a growing database and cache. In terms of parallel work, 16 vCPUs and 32 GB of RAM will cover any need.
VPS for Business
A word on Amnezia Cloud Hosting’s capacity for corporate tasks. We offer several models, with pricing calculated individually depending on your goals.
Dedicated servers
A physical bare-metal server with an internet uplink and support for the hardware side. We offer ready-made builds along with custom ones. It comes in handy if you want to rent a whole server, including the network and electricity, to manage it yourself.
It suits you if you process sensitive data or maintain a high-load service.
Cloud infrastructure
It pairs nicely with dedicated servers: we provide OpenStack-based tools for managing our hardware, and we keep the system stable as a whole.
An alternative scenario: we place your serversConditions apply in one of our data centers and connect them to OpenStack. You get access to the management and monitoring panels within the cloud you’ve already paid for.
Dedicated bandwidth
A band of guaranteed width that runs through our network equipment. A great option if all you need is stable internet traffic in the form of IP transit, without dedicated servers.
It provides fast access to private clouds and lets you scale a corporate network quickly and inexpensively.
What If You Don’t Need Hosting?
Maintaining your own server, even one as easy to handle as Amnezia Self-hosted, can be a hassle. Sometimes you just want to protect your data from the prying eyes of ISPs or evade app tracking.
For such cases there’s Amnezia Premium: it not only spares you the hassle of your own server but also lets you connect up to seven devices. One subscription is enough for the whole family.
If you do prefer the self-hosted format, we’ve put together a guide on protecting your digital fortress. In 15 minutes, you’ll learn to handle the terminal and shield your server from bots.
