Recently purchased a VPS and ran into some issues, live chat was very helpful, once i was up and running the VPS ran flawlessly. Had a billing issue which was my fault, they could not help enough and in the end offered a full refund without me even requesting it. Can not recommend enough.
These people are truly incredible. They gifted me a free month due to payment processing issues. This only shows how much they care about their customers. Try out their services guys! It's worth it. Also, shout-out to Saad!
The greatest service around ever, PetroSky is the best of them all, so innovative and fast but most importantly, taking care of their customers. I recommend this so much.
I am writing to express my utmost satisfaction with the VPS service I have received from Petrosky.io. From the exceptional support to the blazing fast server speed, my experience has been nothing short of outstanding. The support team's responsiveness has been a game-changer for me. What's even more impressive is the affordability of the services. The combination of high-quality service and budget-friendly pricing is truly commendable.
Really performant and a very reactive support! 200% recommended!

Which France VPS Should You Choose?
Most people arrive here comparing providers and leave still unsure which plan they need. This section answers that directly. Every plan below runs in the same Equinix Paris facility on AMD EPYC processors with NVMe PCIe 4/5 storage — the difference is capacity and virtualization features, not the datacenter.
| If you are running… | Choose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A website, API, VPN or small production app on Linux | Pro, from €6.99/mo | The entry tier covers it. Linux distributions only at this price. |
| Anything on Windows Server, including Remote Desktop | Pro on Windows, from €14.39/mo | Windows Server 2022 and 2025 start on the 2 vCPU tier. No license fee, so Windows costs the same as Linux at the same specification. |
| MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5, or other trading terminals | Pro on Windows, from €14.39/mo | MetaTrader is a Windows application. See our Forex VPS page for measured latency to London and Frankfurt. |
| Android emulators, nested virtualization, or 3D workloads | Pro+ Hybrid, from €19.19/mo | Nested virtualization (KVM) and 3D acceleration are Hybrid features and are not available on Pro. |
| A large or non-standard deployment | Enterprise | Custom configuration beyond the published tiers. |
Do I need Windows or Linux?
If the software you intend to run is a Windows desktop application — MetaTrader, most trading tools, or anything you would normally install with an .exe — you need Windows. For web servers, APIs, Docker workloads, VPNs and automation tools, Linux is the cheaper and lighter choice. Because PetroSky charges no Windows Server license fee, the decision is purely technical rather than a question of cost at the same specification.
How much RAM do I actually need?
RAM is usually the first limit you hit, not CPU. A single application or website is comfortable on the entry tier. Running several services at once, a database alongside your application, or multiple desktop terminals is where memory runs short first. Plans scale from 1 to 20 vCPU and 2 to 48 GB RAM on the same platform, so it is reasonable to start small and move up.
What if I outgrow the plan, or choose the wrong one?
You can move up a tier without changing host, and the 7-day money-back window exists so you can test the server against your real workload before committing. If you pick the wrong region, PetroSky will move an existing VPS between Paris and Quebec City free of charge through a support ticket.
What is not included by default?
Automated backups are an optional paid add-on from €1.79/mo rather than part of the plan price, and the 10 Gbps uplink is a paid upgrade — every plan includes 2 Gbps as standard. We would rather list these here than have you discover them at checkout.
Still unsure? The measured latency figures on this page are the fastest way to decide between Paris and Quebec City: choose the facility closest to the users or broker you are serving, not the one closest to you.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a France VPS?
A France VPS is a virtual private server hosted in Paris. PetroSky runs its France servers in an Equinix datacenter on AMD EPYC hardware with triple-replicated NVMe storage. You get full root or administrator access, Linux on every plan or Windows Server from the 2 vCPU tier, and low-latency connections across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Can I choose between Windows and Linux?
Yes. Linux is available on every plan, including the €6.99/mo entry tier. Windows Server 2022 or 2025 is available from the 2 vCPU tier (€14.39/mo) with no license fee, as is Ubuntu. On plans from 2 vCPU up you can switch between Windows and Linux at any time by reinstalling from the control panel; the €6.99/mo entry tier runs Linux only.
Why host in France instead of another region?
France offers exceptional European connectivity, native French IPs, GDPR compliance, and a central geographic position for Europe-wide service delivery. For a deeper look, see the advantages of VPS hosting in France.
Is the France location suitable for USA/Canada clients?
Absolutely, many North American clients use our France VPS for European operations, redundancy, or data-sovereignty compliance.
How secure is my VPS?
All VPS plans include DDoS protection, firewalls, and optional automated backups (up to 4x per week) to safeguard your operations.
What about security and compliance?
All servers include DDoS protection and are hosted in an Equinix facility with GDPR-compliant infrastructure. Your data stays in France, which supports EU data residency requirements.
Can I upgrade my VPS plan as my business grows?
Yes. You can upgrade CPU, RAM, or storage from your control panel. Your VPS may require a brief restart to apply the new resources.
Why host with PetroSky versus somewhere else?
PetroSky's France servers run in an Equinix Paris facility with NVMe storage, DDoS protection, and 99.9% uptime. Support is available 24/7 in English and French.
Do you offer managed support?
We provide 24/7 support via ticket, live chat, and email. Our team can help with setup questions, troubleshooting, and general server guidance. You retain full root/admin access and control over your environment.
Is this service suitable for e-commerce?
Yes. Our Paris datacenter provides low latency to EU customers, and hosting in a facility with GDPR-compliant infrastructure supports the data handling requirements of e-commerce businesses.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. PetroSky offers a 7-day refund policy across all plans. If you are not satisfied within 7 days of purchase, contact our support team for a full refund.
How fast is my server deployment?
Your server is typically live within about 30 seconds after purchase.
Can I host multiple websites?
Yes. You can host as many sites as your plan supports. Since PetroSky does not overbook, the resources on your VPS are consistently available whether you run one site or a dozen.
How much does a France VPS cost?
Pro VPS plans in France start at €6.99/month, and Hybrid plans with 3D acceleration start at €19.19/month. Every plan includes AMD EPYC processors, NVMe storage, DDoS protection, unmetered bandwidth, and a 7-day refund policy — deployment takes about 30 seconds.
Can I get a Windows VPS in France?
Yes. France VPS plans from 2 vCPU up (€14.39/mo) run Windows Server 2022 or 2025 with no license fee, accessible over Remote Desktop — see our Windows VPS hosting page for details. The €6.99 entry plan is Linux only (Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS, Fedora, OpenSUSE); Ubuntu is available from the 2 vCPU tier.
What latency can I expect from the Paris datacenter?
We measured it (July 2026, 20-ping averages from a production Paris VPS to public ping endpoints in each city): London 7.7 ms, Frankfurt 8.2 ms, Amsterdam 12.3 ms, Madrid 15.6 ms — and 0.4 ms to Cloudflare's network, which shares our Equinix facility. Transatlantic: about 86 ms to the New York metro area.
