Zinn® Private Cloud — a whole machine, and root on it
Machines we source and run ourselves rather than resell. You get root over the whole box: no control panel, no managed layer, nothing installed that you did not ask for. What a machine costs depends on the city it runs in, so every figure here is the lowest we sell that size at.

Plans and pricing
Three sizes with dedicated CPU cores, from two to eight. The price shown against each is the cheapest city that size is sold in — the same machine costs more in Singapore and the United States than in Europe, so you see the exact figure for the city you choose when you order.

Support is included, and somebody is always there
Every plan comes with it. There is no support tier to buy, no per-incident charge and no ticket allowance — and the desk is open 24 hours a day.
Free on every plan
Support is part of hosting, not an upsell. It is the same support on the smallest plan as on the largest, and nothing about it is counted or capped per incident.
Open 24 hours a day
Whatever hour you are working and whatever time zone you are in, the desk is staffed. You are not writing into an inbox that opens in the morning.
Every one of our 58 languages
Write your ticket in the language you actually think in — we translate it for our team and answer you in yours, with the original always one click away. We sell in all 58.
A person, not a bot
Our assistant answers instantly from the knowledge base, but it never closes a ticket for you. A ticket is picked up and answered by somebody who can act on it.
Renewable power, where we can show it
Our servers in Finland and Germany run on renewable electricity — sourced that way, not offset after the fact. For our United States and Singapore locations we have not verified the supply, so we do not claim it.
- Renewable electricity in our Finland and Germany data centres
- Data centres running at a PUE of 1.1 to 1.2
- Sites on our shared platform pass the Green Web Foundation's checks — a third party you can verify for yourself
Traffic beyond what your server includes
Every server includes a monthly traffic allowance. Anything above it is charged per TB at the rate for the city your server is in, automatically when a threshold is reached — never in advance.
- Ashburn, USA: $2.40 per TB
- Falkenstein, Germany: $2.40 per TB
- Helsinki, Finland: $2.40 per TB
- Hillsboro, USA: $2.40 per TB
- Nuremberg, Germany: $2.40 per TB
- Singapore: $16.60 per TB

Questions people ask before they buy
Is Zinn® Private Cloud managed?
Not by default. You get root on the whole machine with nothing of ours running on top — no control panel, no agent. Backups, updates and patching are yours, unless you add managed care or automatic backups to the server.
Why does the same size cost different amounts in different cities?
Because it costs us different amounts. The same machine costs several times more in Singapore or the United States than in Europe, so each city is priced on its own rather than averaged into one figure that would overcharge most customers. Every price on this page is the cheapest city for that size, which is why it is written as a “from” — you see the exact figure for the city you pick.
Can I send email from a Zinn® Private Cloud machine?
Not directly on port 25: outbound SMTP is closed on this range, as it is at most providers, because an open port 25 on a fresh machine is what turns a network into a spam source. Send through our relay on port 587 with your own credentials — the same route an application would normally use — and your mail goes out authenticated.
What do I need before my first machine?
Two things: a confirmed email address on the account, and a card, which your bank confirms when you add it. Nothing is charged until you order. We only ask for proof of identity when something about an account looks wrong. New accounts also start with limits on how many machines they can run and how much they can spend each month; your dashboard shows them before you order, and they rise as the account builds a history, or sooner if you ask.
Is the city I want always available?
Not always. Stock moves, and a size can be unbuildable in one city for a day and back the next. The cities listed against a size are the ones we sell it in; what can actually be built is checked live at the moment you order, so you are never sold a machine that cannot be created.
Do you run anything on the machine?
Nothing. We run the network, the storage and the console; everything above the operating system is yours, including what you install and who you let in. That is what unmanaged means here, and it is why the range is priced the way it is.
What happens if one of my machines is reported for abuse?
Reports about a machine come to us, because we hold the account it runs under. We pass them to the account owner, and a machine that is causing harm is powered off, with its disk kept, until the problem is fixed. You are responsible for keeping your machine secure, and our Acceptable Use Policy sets out what is not allowed.
