Looking for an AMD KVM VPS in Romania

jamesponddotcojamesponddotco Member
edited February 6 in Requests

I am looking for one or more VPSs in Romania, with preference for servers running AMD instead of Intel. I'd also prefer if the company itself is European, and, if possible, if the server uses AMD SEV by default.

A company that cares about privacy would be preferred, and if they have an API we can use to order servers and whatnot, even better.

Minimum Requirements:

  • CPU: 1 Core
  • RAM: 2GB
  • Storage: 20GB, NVMe preferred
  • IP Address: 1x IPv4

Besides the requirements above, I also need to be able to upload an openSUSE Tumbleweed ISO to run full disk encryption and whatnot. Bonus points if a TPM (vTPM?) is available for use.

Budge is anywhere from $10 to $30 per month. Each server will be used to host one of our services, such as a Go package index, an RPM repository, a DNSCrypt server, and some other things.

Thanks in advance!

    Only just out of the EU but I understand. You may need to be flexible though as there are very few offers for AMD in Romania. The majority is old Intel.

    I'm not sure if there's any VPS provider which encrypts the memory of running VMs. I was also looking for something like this a while ago.

    Oracle offers confidential computing with their Oracle Linux on AMD hardware. Starts at around 30$ per month and I'm pretty sure they don't have servers in Romania. Closest region with confidential computing would be Germany or Switzerland. I believe Azure also has some confidential computing support.

    You could also buy dedicated server with CPU that supports SEV (so 7950X for example) but then you're looking at around 200$ per month.

    I totally get the need for confidential computing however now it's still mostly enterprise solutions. Even privacy respecting providers don't have encrypted memory on their VPSes so you have to trust them.

    I would love to be wrong. If someone here actually runs SEV on their VMs (even SGX support would be something). For reasonable price I would buy it immediately.

    I'd say AMD is more of a preference, so I'd take Intel if that's all that's available. As long as the company is in Europe and the data center in Romania, most things should work.

    Yeah, that was a shot in the dark, haha. I run dedicated where I can, but for this particular project, it seems like a waste for just a few services.

    If I were ever start my own provider, I would try offering small, affordable, fully encrypted VMs (SEV + LUKS2 and possibly vTPM).
    Paid with crypto would be zero-trust and somewhat anonymous.

    To my knowledge, no one is providing such service. There have to be a good reason for that. I'm certainly overlooking some important issues.

    I assume, and this is just that, an assumption, certain features such as snapshots and whatnot don't work with SEV enabled. Many providers seem to use Proxmox. Does it even support SEV?

    Plus, you know, most people don't even know SEV and SGX are a thing.

    I believe Proxmox supports SEV since it uses QEMU KVM for VMs. However there's no like GUI option for enabling it so it needs to be configured just like on Debian host (Proxmox is based on Debian). However I don't have SEV on my hardware unfortunately so I'm not able to verify that.

    Then I would recommend @host_c (https://host-c.com/store/hosting-vps), they have servers in Oradea starting at $32/yr or $6/mo (without VAT) with quite fast Intel Xeon CPUs.
    They have been rock-solid for me with so far no single downtime, and very consistent performance.
    They don't allow DNS hosting though.

    It's a shame about DNS hosting. Although, DNSCrypt would be different than a regular DNS server, so maybe they'd open an exception? I might email them about it.

    Thanks!

    @jamesponddotco said: DNSCrypt

    They have sposnored vps to dnscy.pt project so it wont be issue i guess.. Also ShockVPN have sponsored RO location for the same project (idk if they offer vps also but you can send them mail and ask)

    Exactly. Many providers sponsored dnscry.pt project actually.

    That totally depends. Both have a very broad range of speeds, some old AMD Epycs only get 700-800 in GB6 single core, some new Intel Xeons over 1000. Of course AMD Ryzens or Genoa/Turin CPUs are faster, and yes, there are also very slow Xeons.

    But these benchmarks from my storage VPS from @host_c are very good IMHO: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/8096085 https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/10080406 (was migrated to a faster CPU).

    I'm looking for a company in Europe, if possible.

    Only just out of the EU but I understand. You may need to be flexible though as there are very few offers for AMD in Romania. The majority is old Intel.

    I'd say AMD is more of a preference, so I'd take Intel if that's all that's available. As long as the company is in Europe and the data center in Romania, most things should work.

    I am looking for one or more VPSs in Romania, with preference for servers running AMD instead of Intel. I'd also prefer if the company itself is European, and, if possible, if the server uses AMD SEV by default.

    A company that cares about privacy would be preferred, and if they have an API we can use to order servers and whatnot, even better.

    Minimum Requirements:

    • CPU: 1 Core
    • RAM: 2GB
    • Storage: 20GB, NVMe preferred
    • IP Address: 1x IPv4

    Besides the requirements above, I also need to be able to upload an openSUSE Tumbleweed ISO to run full disk encryption and whatnot. Bonus points if a TPM (vTPM?) is available for use.

    Budge is anywhere from $10 to $30 per month. Each server will be used to host one of our services, such as a Go package index, an RPM repository, a DNSCrypt server, and some other things.

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm not sure if there's any VPS provider which encrypts the memory of running VMs. I was also looking for something like this a while ago.

    Oracle offers confidential computing with their Oracle Linux on AMD hardware. Starts at around 30$ per month and I'm pretty sure they don't have servers in Romania. Closest region with confidential computing would be Germany or Switzerland. I believe Azure also has some confidential computing support.

    You could also buy dedicated server with CPU that supports SEV (so 7950X for example) but then you're looking at around 200$ per month.

    I totally get the need for confidential computing however now it's still mostly enterprise solutions. Even privacy respecting providers don't have encrypted memory on their VPSes so you have to trust them.

    I would love to be wrong. If someone here actually runs SEV on their VMs (even SGX support would be something). For reasonable price I would buy it immediately.

    Yeah, that was a shot in the dark, haha. I run dedicated where I can, but for this particular project, it seems like a waste for just a few services.

    If I were ever start my own provider, I would try offering small, affordable, fully encrypted VMs (SEV + LUKS2 and possibly vTPM).
    Paid with crypto would be zero-trust and somewhat anonymous.

    To my knowledge, no one is providing such service. There have to be a good reason for that. I'm certainly overlooking some important issues.

    Not Romania, Bulgaria instead, but VPSBG.eu claims to enable AMD SEV if you file a support ticket. Found them yesterday.

    Romarg perhaps? Romanian company, DC in Brasov.
    Not used them personally though, so can't say anything about the network/uptime and their control panel of choice, but worth a look.

    You can check Sitebunker too, @AndreiPerju might help you with info.

    In my opinion, Sitebunker is top notch in Romania for specs & pricing, support 24/7 and definitely better than Romarg.
