Hosting
Build your web server
Pick what it is for, set your limits, and pay only for what it uses. A Linux server with root, ready for the site you already have or the one you are about to build.
- Runs in North America
- OVHcloud Anti-DDoS included
- Metered by the minute
How a machine is held
Four tiers, one shelf. An account can hold Free and Premium itself; Owned is the operator's to grant.
Free
Nothing to pay, nothing held
A machine that costs nothing to run. You have no rights over the resources it uses, and it can be freed up at any time when paying customers need the room.

Your hardware, nothing charged
Exactly Premium, except nothing is charged: the hardware is yours. An operator grants this one — an account can only hold Free and Premium itself.

Build yours
Pick what it is for, set the limits, and the price follows as you move - the same builder the panel uses.
A machine of your own, in the browser
Reached from your dashboard: the file tree to put the files on the machine, a real terminal to run them, and the AI helper beside both when something will not start.
- Root on a Linux server, with nginx or Caddy on it when you ask for it.
- Open the port on your account page, or point a domain you own at it, and it is on the internet.
- WordPress, Ghost or a static site, Node, Python or PHP apps, HTTPS on your own domain.
- 1 Gbps shared unmetered, with OVHcloud Anti-DDoS included.
What it costs
You pay for what it uses, by the minute. Nothing is fixed and nothing is reserved.
- Metered on what it really usesCPU, memory and disk by the minute. Nothing reserved, and memory nobody is touching is not billed.
- A domain you own points straight hereNo extra charge for that. The dedicated IPv4 is optional, and it is there if you want it.
- Network-level protection, includedAnti-DDoS absorbs floods and filters packets. An attack that looks like ordinary traffic is still your application's to defend against.
Most run between £0.45 and £0.89 a month. Flat out all the time it is £3.20 a month — that is the ceiling, not the forecast.
Good to know
What goes on the machine?
Nginx installed and running, with a folder to drop your site into and a working placeholder page so you can see it the moment it is up. HTTPS is one command away once your domain points here. Nothing is installed until you ask: once the machine is running, press Set it up for me on it and the AI helper does the whole install and tells you what it did.
Do I need an address of my own?
You almost certainly do not — a domain you own points straight at your server, free. The dedicated IPv4 is optional, and it is here if you want it.
What can run on it?
A home for your site, blog or shop. PostgreSQL running just for you. Minecraft, Hytale, Valheim, Rust and more. Or a Linux machine you write code on, in the browser.
How am I charged?
By the minute, on what the machine actually uses, drawn from your WELUX balance while it runs. Set a ceiling and a month comes to that at most. If your balance reaches zero on Premium, the machine is moved to Free automatically.
