FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about VPS hosting on NeedTo.Host.

Where are NeedTo.Host VPS servers located?

+
All VPS containers run on Hetzner FSN1 servers in Frankfurt, Germany — in the heart of Europe. Frankfurt is one of the best-connected datacentres in Europe, with excellent latency to users across Germany, France, UK, Netherlands, and beyond. All data stays within the EU, making compliance with GDPR straightforward.

What is the difference between a NeedTo.Host VPS and a traditional VPS?

+
On NeedTo.Host, every service runs in its own Docker container with dedicated resource allocations — guaranteed RAM, CPU, and NVMe SSD storage. Unlike traditional VPS where you manage the entire operating system via SSH, NeedTo.Host provides a full web dashboard with file manager, console, environment variables, and one-click deployment. You get the isolation and control of a VPS without the system administration overhead.

Can I run any software on a NeedTo.Host VPS?

+
Yes. Each VPS container runs a standard Debian-based environment with root access. You can install any software using your startup command — Node.js applications, Python APIs, Go services, game servers, databases, or any other workload. Simply set your startup command in the dashboard (e.g. apt-get install -y ffmpeg && node server.js) and deploy. Cryptocurrency mining and network abuse are prohibited per our Terms of Service.

How quickly can I deploy a VPS?

+
Deployment takes under 60 seconds from account creation. Sign up, choose a plan, upload your files or set a startup command, and click Start. Your container is provisioned and running in Frankfurt within seconds — no waiting for a VM to boot, no image building queue, no DNS propagation delays for your subdomain.

Does NeedTo.Host VPS support custom domains?

+
Yes, on paid plans. You can attach your own domain (e.g. app.yourdomain.com) to your service from the Domain tab in your service dashboard. Point an A record to our server IP or a CNAME to your subdomain, verify ownership, and we automatically issue and renew a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Custom domains are not available on the free tier.
