VM providers and locations

You can create virtual machines at eight providers from one Doprax account and one credit balance. ProVM is Doprax’s own hardware. The other seven are clouds that Doprax runs for you: you do not need an account with them.

All eight are created on the same Create Virtual Machine page and managed on the same VM page. They differ in where they are, what they cost, what you can do with the VM afterwards, which ports are reachable and how traffic is charged. This page lists those differences.

What works at which provider

Start, stop, reboot, delete and snapshots work at every provider. The rest depends on the provider:

Provider	Rebuild	Resize	Additional IPs	Change IP	Rescue mode	Outbound traffic
ProVM	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	Free
Vultr	Yes	No	No	No	No	Allowance, then $0.02 per GB
DigitalOcean	Yes	No	No	No	No	Allowance, then $0.02 per GB
Hetzner	Yes	No	No	Yes	Yes	Allowance, then a price per 100 GB
Google Cloud	Yes	No	No	No	No	Every GB is charged
Gcore	No	No	No	No	No	Free
Scaleway	No	No	No	No	No	Not charged
OVH	Yes	No	No	No	Yes	Free

Inbound traffic is free at every provider. The traffic rules are explained on Traffic.

The operating systems on offer also differ per provider. The create page lists them after you have picked a provider, a location and a plan.

Check the ports before you choose

On Hetzner only TCP ports 80, 443 and 19000 to 19100 are reachable from the internet. On ProVM and OVH all ports are open. If your service needs UDP or another port, see Ports and protocols.
