GRADAX lanceert cloudservers in 6 landen

Today we are thrilled to announce the general availability of GRADAX Cloud Servers — our fully managed VPS hosting platform built from the ground up for businesses that need reliable, high-performance compute without the complexity of managing bare metal. Whether you are running a production web application, a staging environment for your development team, or a resource-intensive data processing pipeline, GRADAX Cloud Servers deliver the performance and flexibility you need at a price point that makes sense.

Every cloud server instance comes with dedicated vCPU cores, ECC RAM, and NVMe SSD storage. There is no resource contention with noisy neighbors, no throttling during peak hours, and no surprise performance degradation. You get exactly the resources you pay for, guaranteed by our hardware isolation at the hypervisor level. Each instance also includes a dedicated IPv4 address, configurable firewall rules, and automated daily backups retained for fourteen days.

We designed GRADAX Cloud Servers specifically for the workloads our clients run most frequently: Next.js and Node.js applications, WordPress and WooCommerce stores, Laravel and PHP applications, Python services, and containerized microservices. Our pre-configured server images include optimized runtime environments for each of these stacks, so you can deploy a production-ready server in under sixty seconds from our dashboard.

GRADAX Cloud Servers are available in six data center locations across three continents, giving you the flexibility to deploy workloads close to your users. Our European presence includes facilities in Bucharest (Romania), Frankfurt (Germany), and Amsterdam (Netherlands). For global reach, we operate data centers in Ashburn, Virginia (United States), London (United Kingdom), and Singapore. Each location is connected to multiple tier-1 network carriers with redundant uplinks, ensuring consistent low-latency connectivity regardless of where your users are.

Our Bucharest data center deserves special mention. As a Romanian-founded company, we invested heavily in building a world-class facility in our home market. The Bucharest location offers some of the lowest latency to Southeast European users and benefits from Romania's exceptionally competitive energy costs, savings we pass directly to our clients. For businesses operating primarily in Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Serbia, or Hungary, this is the optimal deployment location.

All six locations meet or exceed Tier III reliability standards with redundant power feeds, N+1 cooling systems, and 24/7 on-site security. Network connectivity at each site delivers a minimum of 10 Gbps uplink capacity per rack with DDoS mitigation included at no extra cost. You can deploy across multiple locations for geographic redundancy, and our built-in DNS management makes multi-region failover configuration straightforward.

Performance was the non-negotiable design constraint for GRADAX Cloud Servers. Every instance runs on latest-generation AMD EPYC processors with clock speeds of 3.5 GHz or higher. Storage is exclusively NVMe SSD with sustained read speeds of 7,000 MB/s and write speeds of 5,000 MB/s. We do not offer HDD tiers because we believe that in 2026, every production workload deserves SSD-class storage performance. The cost difference is marginal; the performance difference is transformative.

Network performance scales with your plan. Our starter tier includes 1 Gbps bandwidth with 5 TB of monthly transfer. The professional tier bumps that to 2.5 Gbps with 15 TB included. Our enterprise tier offers 10 Gbps connectivity with unlimited transfer and priority routing through our network backbone. All tiers include IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack networking, private VLAN support for multi-server deployments, and sub-millisecond latency to our managed database and object storage services.

We benchmark every server class before it enters production and publish the results transparently on our status page. Our 4-vCPU, 8 GB RAM instance consistently scores above 1,200 on Geekbench 6 multi-core, outperforming equivalently priced offerings from three major cloud providers we tested against. Raw performance numbers only tell part of the story, though. What matters is sustained performance under load, and our hardware isolation guarantees that your instance delivers consistent throughput whether the physical host is 10% utilized or 90% utilized.

We believe cloud server pricing should be simple, predictable, and fair. GRADAX Cloud Servers start at €4.99 per month for a 1-vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 25 GB NVMe SSD instance — ideal for development environments, staging servers, or lightweight applications. Our most popular plan is the Professional 4 at €19.99 per month, which includes 4 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM, 160 GB NVMe SSD, and 15 TB of bandwidth. For demanding workloads, our Enterprise plans offer up to 32 vCPUs, 128 GB RAM, and 2 TB of NVMe storage.

Every plan is billed monthly with no long-term commitments required. You can upgrade or downgrade your server at any time, and changes take effect within minutes without data loss. For clients who commit to annual billing, we offer a 20% discount on all plans. We also offer custom configurations for enterprise clients who need specific CPU-to-memory ratios or dedicated hardware that goes beyond our standard offerings.

There are no hidden fees. Bandwidth overage, when it occurs, is billed at €0.01 per GB — roughly a third of what the major cloud providers charge. Automated backups, monitoring, firewall management, SSL certificates, and our 24/7 support are all included in the base price. The only add-ons are optional: managed databases (starting at €9.99/month), object storage (starting at €2.99/month for 100 GB), and load balancers (starting at €9.99/month).

We understand that migrating an existing production environment to a new hosting provider is one of the most stressful things a development team can do. That is why we offer free, hands-on migration support for every new GRADAX Cloud Servers client. Our infrastructure engineers will work with your team to plan the migration, execute the transfer, verify that everything works correctly, and handle the DNS cutover during a maintenance window of your choosing. We have completed over 800 migrations to date with zero data loss incidents.

For WordPress and WooCommerce sites, we built an automated migration tool that handles the entire process in under fifteen minutes. It copies your files, exports and imports your database, updates wp-config.php with the new database credentials, installs and configures our performance optimization stack (Redis object cache, OPcache tuning, and Brotli compression), and runs a visual regression test comparing the old and new sites to catch any rendering differences. You review the results, approve the cutover, and we handle the rest.

For complex multi-service architectures, our migration process is more involved but equally thorough. We start with a discovery call to map your current infrastructure, identify dependencies, and create a migration runbook. We then execute a dry-run migration to a staging environment where your team can validate everything before we touch production. The actual production migration happens on a schedule you choose, with a rollback plan ready in case anything goes wrong. Most complex migrations are completed within a single business week.

The launch of GRADAX Cloud Servers is just the beginning. Our product roadmap for the next six months includes several features that our beta testers have been requesting. First on the list is managed Kubernetes clusters, which will let you deploy containerized applications with the same simplicity as our standard VPS offering but with the orchestration and scaling capabilities of Kubernetes. We expect to open early access for managed Kubernetes by Q3 2026.

We are also building a serverless functions platform that will complement our Cloud Servers product. This will allow clients to run lightweight API endpoints and background jobs without provisioning a full server instance. Think of it as the best of both worlds: persistent servers for your core application and serverless functions for event-driven workloads like webhook processing, image resizing, and scheduled tasks. The serverless platform will integrate directly with your Cloud Server instances through our private networking layer.

On the developer experience front, we are launching a CLI tool and Terraform provider in the coming weeks. These tools will let you provision, configure, and manage your GRADAX Cloud Servers entirely through code, enabling infrastructure-as-code workflows and CI/CD pipeline integration. We are also expanding our dashboard with real-time resource monitoring graphs, one-click application deployments from GitHub repositories, and team collaboration features with role-based access control. We are building the cloud platform we always wished existed, and we are just getting started.
