NixiHost VPS hosting provides unmanaged KVM virtual servers with full root access, running on 100%
NixiHost-owned hardware in our Houston, TX datacenter with NixiHost-owned IP space. Plans range from 2GB to
32GB of RAM starting at $9/month, with SSD storage, a 1Gbps port, one dedicated IPv4 address, and unlimited
IPv6. Deploy any major Linux distribution in minutes and manage your server through the VirtFusion control
panel, backed by 24/7 support from our US-based team.
A NixiHost VPS runs anything a Linux server can run: Node.js and Python applications, Docker containers,
WordPress, game servers, VPNs, or a control panel you install yourself. If you've built an app with an AI
coding tool and outgrown free hosting tiers, a VPS gives you a real server with predictable flat pricing and a
human support team, no usage metering and no surprise bills.
Runs cPanel, Plesk, or a similar control panel comfortably, with headroom for a production app with a database and background workers, or several smaller projects on one server.
Want strong resources with none of the administration? Our Semi-Dedicated plans pair dedicated-class power with
a fully managed cPanel environment. Need the whole machine? Dedicated servers start at $185/month.
NixiHost VPS hosting is unmanaged: you get complete root access and control, and you're responsible for server
administration, software installation, and maintenance. Perfect for developers and sysadmins who want maximum
flexibility. If you'd rather not manage a server, our shared and Semi-Dedicated plans are fully managed.
KVM Virtualization
Every NixiHost VPS runs on KVM, full hardware virtualization with your own kernel. Run Docker, custom kernels,
WireGuard, or any Linux workload without the limitations of container-based VPS platforms.
NixiHost-Owned Network and IPs
NixiHost.com, Inc. is a Texas corporation with 18+ years in hosting since 2007. We own 100% of our hardware and
hold direct IP allocations from ARIN, so your VPS and its IP address have no third-party dependencies.
99.9% Uptime Guarantee
Downtime costs you money. We back our infrastructure with a concrete 99.9% uptime guarantee as part of our
standard service agreement.
Houston Datacenter & Premium Network
Your VPS runs on 100% NixiHost-owned hardware in our secure Houston, TX datacenter (AS46505), with redundant
power, backup generators, and multiple fiber carriers.
24/7 US-Based Support
Our support team is based in Texas and available 24/7/365 by ticket, and by phone and live chat during business hours. Unmanaged doesn't mean unsupported: hardware, network, and platform issues are always on us.
Built something with an AI coding tool? Host it here.
AI coding tools like Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Copilot are great at writing applications, but they
don't host them. When your project outgrows free preview links and serverless tiers, a NixiHost VPS gives it
a permanent home: a real Linux server that runs Node.js, Python, Docker, databases, background workers, and
websockets with no per-request metering, no cold starts, and no surprise usage bills. Your price is flat and
printed on this page.
Any stack
Express, Next.js, FastAPI, Django, Laravel, Go binaries, Docker Compose: if it runs on Linux, it runs here, with
SQLite and persistent file storage that serverless platforms can't offer.
Flat, predictable pricing
Your maximum possible bill is your plan price. No egress metering, no invocation counts, no per-compute-hour
database charges.
Stuck at 2am?
Paste the error into the same AI tool that built your app. With full root access, whatever it tells you to run,
you can run: install packages, edit configs, restart services. No managed-platform restrictions between you and
the fix.

How much does a VPS cost at NixiHost?
NixiHost VPS plans cost $9 to $136/month, billed flat with no usage metering, no setup fee, and no
long-term contract. The 2GB RAM plan is $9/month, 4GB is $18/month, 8GB is $36/month, 16GB is
$72/month, and 32GB is $136/month. Every plan includes SSD storage, a 1Gbps port, a dedicated IPv4
address on NixiHost-owned IP space, unlimited IPv6, and KVM virtualization in our Houston, TX
datacenter.
Can I host a vibe-coded app on a NixiHost VPS?
Yes. A NixiHost VPS is a full Linux server with root access, so it runs anything an AI coding tool
generates: Node.js and Express, Next.js, Python with FastAPI or Django, PHP and Laravel, Go, or Docker
containers. Unlike serverless platforms, a VPS supports SQLite, persistent file storage, long-running
processes, and websockets, which are the four things AI-generated apps most often break on when
deployed to serverless hosts. The 2GB plan at $9/month fits most single-app projects; add the app, a
database, and a free SSL certificate via Caddy or Certbot, and you're live.
Can I run Node.js, Python, or Docker on a NixiHost VPS?
Yes. NixiHost VPS plans use KVM full virtualization with your own kernel and root access, so Node.js,
Python, Docker, Docker Compose, and any other Linux software install and run without restrictions.
Container-based VPS platforms sometimes can't run Docker or custom kernels; KVM has no such limitation.
Is NixiHost VPS hosting managed or unmanaged?
NixiHost VPS hosting is unmanaged: you get full root access and complete control, and you handle server
administration, software installation, and updates. NixiHost maintains the hardware, network, and
virtualization platform, and our Texas-based team is available 24/7 for hardware, network, and
platform issues. If you'd rather not administer a server, NixiHost's shared and Semi-Dedicated plans
are fully managed.
What operating systems can I install?
NixiHost VPS plans offer all major Linux distributions, including AlmaLinux, Ubuntu, Debian, and Rocky
Linux, deployable in minutes through the VirtFusion control panel. You can reinstall your OS at any
time from the panel, and console access is included for recovery.
Where are NixiHost's VPS servers located?
All NixiHost VPS servers run on 100% NixiHost-owned hardware in NixiHost's Houston, Texas datacenter
(AS46505), the same facility as our dedicated servers, with redundant power, backup generators, and
multiple fiber carriers. IP addresses are NixiHost-owned via direct ARIN allocation.
Can I run cPanel on a NixiHost VPS?
Yes. The 4GB RAM plan ($18/month) is the minimum recommended configuration for cPanel, Plesk, or a
similar control panel, which you license and install yourself since VPS plans are self-managed. If you
want cPanel set up and managed for you, NixiHost's shared, Semi-Dedicated, and dedicated plans include
or offer it.
Is there a contract, and what happens to the bill if my app gets busy?
NixiHost VPS billing is flat and month to month: no contract, no setup fee, and no usage-based charges.
Your plan price is your maximum bill. Each plan includes a fixed monthly bandwidth allocation; if you
approach it, we'll contact you about options rather than surprise-billing you.
Can NixiHost help me if I get stuck deploying?
NixiHost support is available 24/7/365 from our own team in Texas by ticket, and by phone and live chat during business hours. VPS plans are self-managed, so application-level administration is yours, but we
cover hardware, network, and platform issues around the clock and will point you in the right direction
when we can. There is no outsourced call center and no AI support bot.
