# Overview Virtual Private Servers

> A Quantum VPS is a private virtual machine running on our infrastructure, with its own OS, root access, and a public IP — ready to use in a couple of minutes.

A VPS is the right pick when you need a real always-on machine — to run automations, host bots, deploy small services, or any workload that benefits from a fixed, dedicated environment.

## What You Get

Every Quantum VPS includes:

* **Guaranteed resources** — vCPU, RAM, and NVMe storage allocated to your VM on shared hardware.
* **Full root / Administrator access** — install anything you want.
* **A public IPv4 address** — optionally extendable with up to 8 extra IPs.
* **Choice of operating system** — Ubuntu, Debian, or Windows Server 2022.
* **Optional weekly automatic backups** — kept on our backup server (**\$5 / month** add-on).
* **Web console (VNC)** — recover the VM even if you lose SSH access.
* **One-click password reset** — directly from the Dashboard.

## Available Plans

All VPS plans are hosted in **Frankfurt, Germany** on NVMe storage with **10 Gbps networking** as standard.

| Plan         | vCPU | RAM   | Storage     | Best for                                               |
| ------------ | ---- | ----- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Plank**    | 8    | 16 GB | 100 GB NVMe | Light automations, small bots, dev environments        |
| **Broglie**  | 12   | 24 GB | 120 GB NVMe | Multi-process workloads, heavier scrapers, mid-traffic |
| **Einstein** | 16   | 32 GB | 150 GB NVMe | Demanding workloads, multiple services on one machine  |

<Tip>
  Not sure which to pick? Start with **Plank** — you can resize later by ordering a larger plan and migrating your workload.

## Operating Systems

Choose your OS at checkout. We currently offer:

* **Ubuntu 24.04 LTS**
* **Ubuntu 25.04**
* **Debian 12**
* **Debian 13**
* **Windows Server 2022**

All Linux images come with cloud-init pre-configured. Windows images come with the Administrator account ready to use. For every OS, we **auto-generate a secure random password** during provisioning and show it to you in the Dashboard — you can copy it, use it to log in, and reset it to one of your own choosing at any time.
