VPS for Development and Test Environments
Development and test work needs servers you can create, break, and rebuild without ceremony. VeloxMedia gives you full root VPS instances on NVMe storage that deploy in about 60 seconds, reinstall to a clean OS with one click, and roll back to a snapshot when a test goes wrong. Start on a Micro plan at $5 per month and move up only when a workload demands it.
Every server runs on clustered, fully redundant infrastructure with automatic failover, so a staging box or CI runner stays reachable even during host maintenance. You get a dedicated IPv4, unmetered data transfer, and a browser console for VNC, SSH, or RDP, all managed from one portal. Choose from Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Fedora, CentOS, Alpine, or Windows Server and match the exact target your code runs on in production.
- 60-second deploys, one-click reinstall, no setup fees
- Snapshots and rescue mode for safe, repeatable tests
- Full root or administrator access with 8 OS choices
- Dedicated IPv4 and unmetered data transfer on every plan
- Clustered high availability with automatic failover
- From $5/mo, two months free on annual billing
Create and reset environments in seconds
Every plan deploys in about 60 seconds from the portal, so a feature branch or a bug repro can get its own isolated server on demand. There are no setup fees, so you can create a box for an afternoon of testing and remove it when you are done, then create another the next day at no extra cost. For longer-lived staging, annual billing includes two months free. Six uniform plans run from Micro at 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, and 20 GB NVMe up to Max at 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, and 200 GB NVMe, so a small lint runner and a heavy integration suite can each get right-sized hardware.
Snapshots, rebuilds, and rescue mode for safe testing
Take a snapshot before a risky migration, a schema change, or a package upgrade, then restore it in place if the test breaks the box. One-click reinstall wipes a server back to a clean OS in seconds, which makes it easy to prove a setup script works from zero every time. Scheduled and manual backups protect the state you care about. If a kernel change or a bad fstab entry leaves a server unbootable, rescue mode gets you back in to fix it without rebuilding from scratch.
Match production with full root and 8 operating systems
You get full root on Linux and full administrator on Windows Server, so you can install any runtime, compiler, or database your tests need. Pick from Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Fedora, CentOS, Alpine, or Windows Server to match the exact target your code runs on, and reinstall a server to a different OS in one click when you need to test another distribution. Each server includes a dedicated IPv4 for webhooks, DNS records, and TLS certificate testing, plus reverse DNS and firewall rules you control from the portal.
Reliable staging and CI runners that stay online
Staging environments and CI runners need to stay reachable. Every server runs on clustered high availability with automatic failover and distributed replicated NVMe storage, so a single hardware fault does not take your environment down, and zero-downtime live migration moves workloads during maintenance without a reboot. Unmetered data transfer means pulling large container images or running bandwidth-heavy test suites will not generate surprise charges. CPU, memory, and bandwidth graphs show how a build behaves under load, and built-in vulnerability monitoring flags known issues in what you have installed.
Test across regions close to your users
Deploy test servers close to the users or services you target. VeloxMedia runs live regions in London, Amsterdam, US East in Ohio, and US West in California, with Warsaw, Montreal, and Utah coming soon. Put a staging box in the same region as your production traffic to measure realistic latency, or run the same test in two regions to compare results. Every region delivers the same NVMe hardware, the same OS catalogue, and the same 60-second deploys.
VPS for Development and Test Environments questions
Can I spin up a server just for a short round of testing?
Yes. Deploys take about 60 seconds and there are no setup fees, so you can create a server, run your tests, and reinstall or remove it whenever you want. One-click reinstall also lets you reset the same server to a clean OS between test runs without creating a new one.
Which operating systems can I test on?
Eight: Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Fedora, CentOS, Alpine, and Windows Server. You install any of them in one click, and you can reinstall a server to a different OS when you need to test across distributions.
How do I roll back if a test breaks the server?
Take a snapshot before a risky change and restore it in place if the test fails. You can also use one-click reinstall to wipe back to a clean OS, keep scheduled or manual backups of important state, and boot into rescue mode to repair a server that will not start.
Is a small plan enough for a dev or CI box?
Often, yes. The Micro plan at 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, and 20 GB NVMe from $5 per month handles many lint, unit-test, and lightweight staging jobs. If a build needs more headroom, larger plans go up to Max at 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, and 200 GB NVMe.
