To HOSTKEY

HOSTKEY sells dedicated servers both as fixed "instant" configurations and as custom builds from an online configurator. The instant line covers Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC and AMD Ryzen machines; the cheapest listed server starts at 50.00 EUR per month with a Xeon E3-12xx (4 cores) and 32 GB of ECC RAM. Instant servers are delivered within minutes according to HOSTKEY, and billing is also available by the hour.

Data centre locations include the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, the USA, Finland, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Turkey and Switzerland. Crypto payments run through BitPay (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash and stablecoins such as USDT and USDC); card, PayPal and bank transfer are accepted as well.

One IPv4 address is included free of charge; upgrading to two IPv4 addresses costs 4.00 EUR per month. Servers are managed via IPMI, a KVM console and a reinstall panel, with Linux, Windows or an own ISO. Registration requires phone verification, and HOSTKEY does not serve residents of sanctioned countries such as Russia, Iran or North Korea. Refunds are limited to unused time after early termination; there is no money-back period.

How the score is made up

7.1 of 10 · good

Weighted sum of the criteria, each 0 to 10 from proven values. A criterion without data is not scored and counts with the category median, not as 0.

Provisional: proven values are still missing for some criteria. They count with the category median.

The score uses the entry variant bm.v1-max; sorting stays with it. With another variant: bm.v2-promo 7.0 · bm.v1-str-8t 7.0 · bm.v5-ultra-mini 6.5 · bm.v5-ultra 6.2 · bm.v4-ultra-u2 6.2 · bm.v2-silver 6.2 · bm.v2-gold 6.2 · bm.v3-epyc3 6.1 · bm.v4-epyc-mini-10g 7.0
