Important notes
- VPSGrid is unmanaged — support assists with platform/billing issues; guest OS stack work is your responsibility unless a separate managed product applies.
- Use Hostname for the VPS name at order time; point your domain separately via DNS A records.
- Refer to checkout at vpsgrid.net for current plan specs — this article does not publish fixed pricing.
