Managed VPS
A root machine of your own, in the panel you already use
A KVM virtual machine with 4, 8 or 16 GB of RAM, 2 to 4 dedicated vCPU, NVMe disk and its own public IPv4. You get root on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. The panel gives you a terminal in the browser, power controls, three snapshot slots, a reinstall button, a one-click size upgrade and a switch that turns the machine into a private game node. From $16 a month.

What people run on it
One machine, root, and the choice of running it through our panel or entirely by hand.
A private game node
Turn the machine into a node on your own account and create game servers on it from the panel, on hardware nobody else shares.
Whatever you install yourself
It is a root Linux box. Your own stack, your own services, your own packages, on the same account as the rest of your hosting.
A box beside your other services
On your private network it sits next to your databases, bots and game servers and reaches them by name, without going over the public internet.
Anything that needs its own address
The dedicated IPv4 is yours and so is every port on it, so a service that has to own its address and its ports can have one.
From order to root shell
- 1
Buy a size
4, 8 or 16 GB at checkout, monthly or yearly. Up to five machines per account.
- 2
Name it and provision it
Buying does not start a machine. The panel shows a ready-to-provision card: give it a name, pick the region when more than one has capacity, paste an SSH public key if you use one, and leave the game-node box ticked or clear it.
- 3
Get a shell
It boots, then its address and password appear on its page. Click Terminal for a shell in the browser, or SSH in from your own machine.
Connecting from your own machine
The SSH command and the password are on the machine's page, one click to copy.
$ ssh fadehost@203.0.113.10
Welcome to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
fadehost@mc-node-1:~$ sudo -i
root@mc-node-1:~#The fadehost account has passwordless sudo. If you would rather not deal with a client at all, the Terminal button on the same page opens the identical shell in your browser.
Everything the machine comes with
All of it is on the machine's own page in the panel. This is the whole list, not a selection.
Root on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
Every machine boots the Ubuntu 26.04 LTS cloud image. You sign in as the fadehost account, which has passwordless sudo, so there is nothing you cannot install or change.
Web terminal in the panel
Open the VPS and click Terminal for a real shell in the browser. No client, no key, no setup. One session per machine, and it closes itself after 20 minutes idle.
Your SSH key at provision
Paste your public key on the provision card and it is in authorized_keys before the machine finishes its first boot. The generated password sits on the VPS page as the fallback.
Power controls
Start, Reboot and Shut down from the VPS page, with the status updating while the machine comes up or goes down.
Reinstall
Wipe it and boot it fresh from the same page. You type the machine's name to confirm. The size, the dedicated IP and your SSH key stay, and the password rotates. A VPS attached as a game node is refused.
Upgrade between sizes
Move up to a bigger size in one click. Billing is prorated on the subscription you already have, the machine reboots once, the disk grows on that boot and your data stays put. Downgrades are a support conversation, because shrinking a filesystem under live data needs a human.
Three snapshot slots
Full-disk snapshots taken while the machine keeps running, restored onto the same IP with one reboot, deleted when you want the slot back. They live in your backup storage next to your server backups.
A dedicated IPv4
Its own public address, never a shared one behind NAT, and every port on it is yours. Game servers on the machine answer on it directly. A VPS never boots without one.
Your private network
The machine joins your own WireGuard network when it provisions. From its shell it reaches your FadeHost databases, bots and game servers by name, and you can add your laptop to the same network.
One-click game node
Leave the box ticked when you provision and the VPS attaches to your account as a private game node. You then create game servers on it from the same panel, with the console, the installers and the backups your other servers get.
Europe or North America
Pick the region on the provision card whenever more than one has capacity for the size you bought. If the region you want is out of dedicated IPs, the machine is queued and provisions itself as soon as one is free.
Live usage
CPU, memory and disk read straight from the hypervisor every 15 seconds, on the machine's own page.
Your own assistant can drive it
FadeHost runs an MCP server at api.fadehost.com/mcp. Make a token on the AI Access page and Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client can list your machines and power them on or off.
Pricing
Three sizes, on the same bill as your game servers. A year costs ten months, so two are free.
VPS 4 $16/mo or $160/yr | VPS 8 $32/mo or $320/yr | VPS 16 $64/mo or $640/yr | |
|---|---|---|---|
| RAM | 4 GB | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| Dedicated vCPU | 2 vCPU | 3 vCPU | 4 vCPU |
| Disk | 40 GB NVMe | 80 GB NVMe | 160 GB NVMe |
| Dedicated IPv4 | Included | Included | Included |
| Get VPS 4 | Get VPS 8 | Get VPS 16 |
- Root on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, your SSH key installed at provision
- Web terminal, power controls, reinstall and three snapshot slots
- Dedicated IPv4, your private network, Europe or North America
- Up to five machines per account, billed monthly or yearly
Monthly or yearly is a choice at checkout. A VPS is a paid addon, so it is not part of the free trial.
What a typical setup costs
A private node for your servers
VPS 8, game node on
$32/mo
8 GB, 3 vCPU and 80 GB of NVMe, attached to your account as your own node. You create the game servers on it from the panel, and the dedicated IPv4 is what players connect to.
A node plus everything around it
VPS 4, game node on
$16/mo
4 GB, 2 vCPU and 40 GB of NVMe: a server or two from the panel, and whatever else you install yourself beside them on the same box.
Room for a big modded network
VPS 16, game node on
$64/mo
16 GB, 4 vCPU and 160 GB of NVMe. Upgrading to it later is one click and one reboot, prorated on the subscription you already have.
Questions before you buy? Ask on Discord, or put the VPS on the same subscription as the rest of your hosting in the plan builder.
Managed, not bare
A bare VPS at a cloud provider hands you an IP, a password and a console that barely works, and the rest is yours to build. The machine here is the same KVM guest with root, but it arrives inside the panel that already runs your game servers.
A way in that is not a key
Lost the key, new laptop, someone else's machine: click Terminal and you have a root shell in the browser.
Snapshots on the same page
Three slots, taken while the machine runs, restored onto the same IP in one reboot. Nothing to wire up, nothing extra to pay per month.
A reinstall that keeps your identity
Start over without losing the address, the size or the SSH key you provisioned with. Type the name, confirm, and it comes back clean.
A game panel on top of it
One switch turns the machine into a node on your account, with the console, the one-click installers, the mod and modpack installers and the backups the rest of our hosting uses.
A network that is already there
It joins your private network at provision and reaches your databases, bots and game servers by name. No VPN to build, no firewall rules to reason about.
People who answer
FadeHost support is on the same account as your game servers, so a question about the machine goes to the people who run the hardware it sits on.
Frequently asked questions
- What does managed actually mean here?
- You get full root and can install anything. Around that root box you get the panel: a terminal in the browser, power controls, snapshots, a reinstall button, a one-click size upgrade, the private network and the game-node switch. FadeHost support answers on the same account as your game servers, so questions about the machine go to the people who run the hardware it sits on.
- Do I get root access? What can I run?
- Yes. Every VPS boots an Ubuntu 26.04 LTS cloud image, and you sign in as the fadehost account, which has passwordless sudo. Game servers, bots, panels, databases, Docker, whatever you like, within the law and our terms.
- How do I get in the first time?
- Two ways, and both are on the machine's page in the panel. Click Terminal for a root shell in the browser with no key and no client, or copy the SSH command and the generated password and connect from your own machine. If you pasted an SSH public key on the provision card, it is already in authorized_keys and the password is just the fallback.
- How fast is it online after I pay?
- Buying a VPS does not start a machine on its own. Right after checkout the panel shows a ready-to-provision card: name the machine, pick the region if more than one has capacity, add an SSH key if you want one, and provision it. It boots in a few minutes and its address and password appear on its page. If the region you picked has no free dedicated IPv4 at that moment, the machine is queued and provisions itself as soon as one is free.
- Is a dedicated IP really included?
- Yes, and it is not optional. Every VPS gets its own public IPv4 routed into the machine, and every port on it is yours. We never put a VPS behind a shared address, because one abusive guest would poison an address the whole game fleet lives on. A VPS does not boot until it has an IP of its own.
- What is the one-click game node option?
- A box on the provision card, ticked by default, that attaches the VPS to your account as a private hosting node. Game servers you create on it come from the same panel our regular hosting uses, with the console, the one-click installers, the mod and modpack installers and the backups, while the VPS stays yours for anything else you want to run beside them. The dedicated IPv4 is the address those servers answer on.
- Which regions can I pick?
- Europe and North America. The provision card shows a region picker whenever more than one region has capacity for the size you bought; when only one does, it goes there.
- Can I take a backup?
- Yes. Each machine has three snapshot slots. A snapshot is a full-disk copy taken while the machine keeps running, restoring one reboots the machine once onto the same IP, and you delete a slot when you want it back. Snapshots share your account's backup storage with your server and database backups, so a full pool refuses a new one until you clear space.
- What if I break the machine?
- Reinstall it from its own page. You type the machine's name to confirm, and it comes back on a clean image with the same size, the same dedicated IP and the same SSH key, with a fresh password. A VPS currently attached as a game node is refused, so a reinstall cannot take your servers out from under you by accident.
- Can I resize later?
- Upwards, yes, in one click from the machine's page. Billing swaps the size on the subscription you already have and is prorated immediately, the machine reboots once, the filesystem grows on that boot and your data stays put. Downgrades are a support conversation instead, because shrinking a disk safely under live data needs a human.
- Is there a yearly price?
- Yes. A year is ten times the monthly price, so two months are free: $160, $320 and $640 for VPS 4, VPS 8 and VPS 16. Pick the cycle at checkout.
- How many can I have, and can I try one first?
- Up to five VPS instances per account. A VPS is not part of the free trial, so it is a paid addon from the start.
- Can my own AI assistant manage the VPS?
- Yes. FadeHost runs an MCP server at api.fadehost.com/mcp. Generate a token on the AI Access page in your panel, connect Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP-capable assistant, and it can list your machines and power them on or off. Deleting a VPS is deliberately not exposed to it.

Your own game node
What a node on your own hardware gets in the panel, which is exactly what the game-node switch turns your VPS into.
Managed databases
MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB or Redis on the same private network, reachable from the VPS shell by name.
App hosting
If you only need one app or bot running from a repository, that is a smaller and cheaper thing than a whole machine.
