# Self-host your Linux service on a plan you can budget

Choose RDPForge Linux Nano for a small compatible service at $14.25 prepaid for 3 months ($4.75/month equivalent): 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 30 GB NVMe and root access. Pay with BTC, XMR, USDT or another supported crypto asset and order by email without uploading ID.

[Configure VPS Nano](https://rdpforge.com/configure?plan=vps-nano&os=linux&cycle=3)  [Compare plan totals](https://rdpforge.com/pricing)

Three months minimum. Entry totals exclude paid options and external transfer fees. Payments are verified automatically; preparation follows confirmation.

Choose RDPForge when

We recommend Nano when the application’s published requirements and your working data fit its 2 GB / 30 GB allocation. Micro provides 4 GB / 60 GB for a larger stack; Boost provides 8 GB / 120 GB. These are self-managed VPS resources, so installation, updates and recovery are part of your operating plan.

## Choose your starting allocation

One instance, included server image, three months prepaid and no optional extras. Windows Server 2025 or Ubuntu 24.04 is used for these prices.

## Choose around the application and its data

A small bot, scheduler or lightweight web service can have very different requirements from a database-backed stack. Compare application requirements, storage growth, logs and backup space before choosing the entry plan.

Select Micro or Boost when you need more memory or disk. Root access gives you control of the installation, not a guarantee that every application or version will run in the smallest allocation. Check dependencies and operating-system support.

| Plan | vCPU / RAM / NVMe | Transfer / month | 3 months prepaid |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Nano | 1 / 2 GB / 30 GB | 2 TB | $14.25 |
| Micro | 2 / 4 GB / 60 GB | 4 TB | $25.65 |
| Boost | 4 / 8 GB / 120 GB | 8 TB | $48.45 |

## Buy the server and plan how to operate it

Keep application secrets and SSH access under your control. Plan updates, firewall rules, monitoring and tested backups. Paid backup and managed-administration options are available separately; they are not included in the entry quote.

The transfer allowance is finite, and a port specification is not unlimited sustained throughput. Consider data transfer, storage growth and external service costs when comparing the whole project budget.

## Use Linux when the application belongs on Linux

Choose Linux for a native Linux workload and Windows RDP for software that requires Windows. An optional Linux desktop image changes the total; selecting a graphical interface does not make Windows applications natively compatible.

Our crypto purchase and no-ID policy are the same across the two categories. Keep the operating-system decision separate from the payment preference so the purchased server fits the software.

## What your order includes and what to budget separately

Our VPS plans are self-managed virtual servers. The quoted entry totals use the included server image, one instance and no optional extras. Choose 3, 6 or 12 months; there is no one-month term. Backups and other paid options are choices in the configurator, not included in these entry prices.

Payments are verified automatically. Server preparation follows payment confirmation; neither a network-confirmation time nor an instant-delivery deadline is guaranteed. Wallet, exchange and blockchain fees, applicable taxes and third-party software costs may be additional.

For an eligible first order of a plan, request a refund within 72 hours after delivery. Renewals, upgrades, repeat purchases of the same plan, allocated extras and some custom configurations are excluded. Approved refunds use the original asset at the invoice’s USD value, less the outgoing network fee. SLA credits are separate.

| Linux VPS entry price | VPS Nano: $14.25 prepaid for 3 months ($4.75/month equivalent), 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM and 30 GB NVMe. Optional extras and external crypto transfer fees are separate. |
| Term and payment | The shortest purchase is three months prepaid. Six- and twelve-month terms are also available. Monthly equivalents are comparison figures; there is no one-month purchase. No setup fee in the configurator. |
| Crypto payment | BTC on Bitcoin, XMR on Monero, LTC on Litecoin, ETH on Ethereum, TRX on Tron, SOL on Solana, USDT on ERC-20 or TRC-20, and USDC on ERC-20 or legacy TRC-20. Choose the exact asset and network shown on your invoice. External wallet, exchange and network fees may apply. |
| Without an ID upload | RDPForge accepts standard orders without uploading an identity document, selfie or proof of address. An email is required; an account uses an email and password. Order and account records remain, so this is not an anonymity guarantee. |
| Payment confirmation | Payments are verified automatically. Server preparation follows payment confirmation; keep the order reference and use the exact invoice network. |
| Location selection | Choose from 20 locations listed in the configurator. Select the city for your users and application requirements; confirm capacity before a large deployment. A server location does not remove applicable law or abuse rules. |
| Windows and application licences | Compare the selected Windows image and its displayed charge. Plan capacity is separate from Remote Desktop Services access licences and application licences. Confirm the rights needed for your users and software before buying. |
