Built for you
We create the machines, install Kubernetes on each one and join the workers to the control plane. You wait a few minutes, not an afternoon.
Kubernetes clusters
Your own Kubernetes cluster, built in minutes
Pick a data centre, a machine size and how many workers you need. We build the servers, join them on a private network and hand you a working Kubernetes cluster with Argo CD ready to deploy from Git.

What you get
A cluster is one control-plane server and up to ten worker servers, all yours, joined on a private network and set up as Kubernetes using k3s, a lightweight certified distribution.
You run it the standard way: download the kubeconfig from your dashboard and use kubectl from your own computer. Each machine also appears under Servers, where you can sign in over SSH, watch its graphs and set its firewall.
What is included
Everything a working cluster needs on day one, and nothing that locks you in.
Private network
The machines talk to each other over their own private network, so cluster traffic never crosses the public internet.
Argo CD, optional
Tick one box and Argo CD is installed, the web panel that deploys your applications straight from a Git repository. A sample application can be deployed too.
Standard kubectl access
Download the kubeconfig from the cluster's page and use kubectl, Helm or any Kubernetes tool you already know. No proprietary console to learn.
Pay by the hour
Every machine is billed by the hour at the cloud server price, with the total shown before you create anything. Delete the cluster and billing stops.
Your servers, your rules
Sign in to any machine over SSH, set the firewall on the API port, and size every machine to the work it has to do.
How it works
From the order card to your first deployment.
Choose
Pick a data centre that offers private networks, a machine size priced there and the number of workers. The price is shown before you order.
We build it
The servers are created, Kubernetes is installed and the workers join the control plane. The cluster page shows each machine as it becomes ready.
Deploy
Download the kubeconfig, check the nodes with kubectl get nodes, then deploy with kubectl or let Argo CD deploy from your Git repository.
Pricing
A cluster costs what its machines cost, billed by the hour.
There is no cluster fee. You pay the cloud server price for each machine, by the hour, and the order card shows the hourly and monthly total in your currency before you create the cluster.
Every machine in a cluster has the same size. Add or remove the whole cluster from your dashboard at any time.
Why run Kubernetes here
Managed Kubernetes services charge for the control plane and hide the machines. Here the control plane is an ordinary server you can see, sign in to and size, and there is no separate cluster fee.
Clusters are built only where a private network is available, so every cluster we offer is one that can actually form.
Questions people ask before they buy
Is there a control panel?
Kubernetes is run with kubectl from your own computer, using the kubeconfig you download from the cluster's page. If you install Argo CD, it is the web panel for deploying applications. Each machine also has its own page under Servers.
Where can I build a cluster?
In the data centres that offer private networks. The order card lists only those, and only the machine sizes priced in the one you pick.
How do I open Argo CD?
Run kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 8080:443 and open https://localhost:8080. The user name is admin and the first password is in the argocd-initial-admin-secret secret.
Is it managed Kubernetes?
No. We build the cluster and you run it: upgrades, workloads and backups of your data are yours, which is what keeps it simple and inexpensive.
How many machines can a cluster have?
One control plane and up to ten workers. Each machine needs at least 2 GB of memory.
