Cloudblast VPS Review 2026: €3.6/mo 10 Gbps + DDoS-Included

Cloudblast surfaced on the budget-VPS radar in August 2026 with an opening offer that is unusually aggressive for the price bracket: €3.6/month for 1 vCPU / 3 GB RAM / 20 GB NVMe SSD, a 10 Gbps network port, and DDoS protection bundled as standard on every plan. Most competing entry-tier VPSes at this price ship 1 Gbps ports and treat DDoS as a paid add-on. We dug into the live pricing, datacenter footprint, and hardware behind the offer — including a body-verified LowEndBox feature article and the cloudblast.io pricing page itself — to see how it stacks up against our existing VPSTier-covered lineup.

Cloudblast at a Glance

Cloudblast is a new entrant running hourly-billed KVM/Proxmox cloud VPS on AMD EPYC host nodes, with three active locations (Amsterdam, Salt Lake City, Hong Kong) and a fourth UK site listed as "coming soon." The brand is not yet well-known outside LowEndTalk / LowEndBox, but the August 2026 LowEndBox feature article confirms it has real infrastructure, real test IPs, and a working panel.

Pricing Table (Verified 2026-08-19)

All prices below were pulled from cloudblast.io/pricing on August 19, 2026 (HTTP 200, page size 721 KB). Prices are listed in EUR with both hourly and monthly billing. The promotional LEB21 SKU that LowEndBox featured at €4.03/mo is a discounted version of VMA21 in the standard table.

*Bandwidth: unlimited in Amsterdam (Digital Realty AMS5) and Salt Lake City (SLC1); capped at 1 TB/month in Hong Kong. All plans include 1 IPv4 + /64 IPv6 + DDoS protection as standard. Source: cloudblast.io/pricing (August 2026).

Hardware & Software Stack

The platform is consistent across every plan — there is no "good-better-best" hardware spectrum, only a capacity one. Cloudblast publishes the host node specs publicly (verified in the LowEndBox feature article's "Host Node Specs" block).

CPU & Memory

Every Cloudblast instance runs on AMD EPYC host hardware. The LowEndBox feature article confirms three node CPU types in production: EPYC 7551P (32-core Naples, 512 GB RAM per node), EPYC 7C13 (Milan, 700 GB RAM per node), and EPYC 7663 (Milan, 380 GB RAM per node). Whether a given VM lands on a 7551P, 7C13, or 7663 node depends on pool availability — Cloudblast does not currently let users pick the underlying CPU.

Storage

All plans ship with NVMe SSD storage. Capacity tops out at 200 GB on the highest VMA81 tier (64 GB RAM) — for heavy-disk workloads, the block storage add-on at €0.15/GB/mo is the practical answer. The 32 GB / 64 GB tiers (VMA71 / VMA81) jump storage to 140 GB / 200 GB, suggesting that Cloudblast sizes storage roughly proportional to RAM needs rather than as a separate dimension.

Virtualization

Cloudblast runs KVM/Proxmox virtualization. The LowEndBox article specifies this explicitly: every VMA plan is KVM-Proxmox, with full root access to the guest OS. Custom ISO uploads are not advertised (Cloudblast ships a Linux distribution selector and one-click app templates rather than arbitrary ISO upload).

Network

Every instance ships a 10 Gbps network port — that is the headline feature. DDoS protection is bundled as standard, with no separate subscription fee (a meaningful differentiator vs hosts that treat DDoS as a paid add-on at $5-15/mo). The IPv4 stack is a single address per instance with /64 IPv6; additional IPv4 addresses are €2.5/mo each.

Data Center Footprint (3 Active + 1 Coming)

Cloudblast's datacenter footprint is small but covers three strategically useful regions, verified from the live cloudblast.io homepage and the LowEndBox feature article:

• Amsterdam, Netherlands — Digital Realty AMS5, Test IPv4 89.34.230.32, looking glass nl.lg.cloudblast.io
• Salt Lake City, Utah, United States — SLC1, Test IPv4 192.166.82.235, looking glass us.lg.cloudblast.io
• Hong Kong SAR, China (APAC) — Eons Data, Test IPv4 178.83.121.94, looking glass hk.lg.cloudblast.io
• Birmingham, United Kingdom — listed as "coming soon" on cloudblast.io (not yet bookable)

The Amsterdam and Salt Lake City tiers ship unlimited bandwidth; the Hong Kong tier is capped at 1 TB/month. Buyers picking Hong Kong specifically for low-latency APAC access should size accordingly or run lighter workloads.

Who Cloudblast Is Best For

Three profiles fit Cloudblast well: budget DDoS-conscious buyers, hourly-billing workload runners, and one-click-app users.

1. Budget Buyers Who Need DDoS Protection

Most €3-5/mo VPS plans either charge €5-15/mo extra for DDoS protection or skip it entirely. Cloudblast's bundled DDoS at this price point is unusual — if you are running a public-facing service (game server, VPN endpoint, web app with adversarial traffic) at the budget tier, Cloudblast covers a risk most peers do not.

2. Hourly-Billing Workload Runners

The hourly billing model — €0.0049/hr at the entry tier — makes Cloudblast a strong fit for short-lived workloads: CI runners, scrapers, ephemeral dev sandboxes, batch jobs that run for a few hours per day. The panel lets you resize, rebuild, or delete from the web UI at any time.

3. One-Click App Users (Coolify, n8n, Dokploy, Supabase + 12 more)

Cloudblast ships a one-click app catalog that includes Coolify, CyberPanel, Dokploy, FastPanel, n8n, Nextcloud, Nginx, OpenClaw, Plausible, Pritunl, Pterodactyl, Supabase, Traefik, WordPress, and Hermes Agent. If your stack fits one of those one-click templates, deployment is a single panel click rather than a manual install.

Where Cloudblast Falls Short

The same specialization that makes Cloudblast good for DDoS-conscious budget buyers becomes a ceiling for power users.

Only 3 Active Data Centers

Unlike Vultr (32+ locations), Linode (Akamai) (11+), or HostHatch (14 documented regions), Cloudblast runs three active regions. If your audience needs low-latency access from São Paulo, Mumbai, Sydney, or Tokyo (other than Hong Kong's Eons Data facility), Cloudblast is not the right pick.

Hong Kong 1 TB Bandwidth Cap

The Hong Kong location is capped at 1 TB/month while Amsterdam and Salt Lake City are unlimited. Buyers specifically choosing Hong Kong for low-latency APAC access need to size workloads to that cap, or pick Salt Lake City and accept higher trans-Pacific latency.

No GPU Instances, No Managed Tier

Cloudblast is bare self-managed KVM. There is no GPU compute tier, no managed-Linux offering, no Plesk/cPanel option. For managed Linux with bundled security + cPanel, see TMDHosting. For GPU compute, see Cherry Servers or Linode (Akamai).

New Vendor Track Record

Cloudblast's first major editorial coverage is from August 2026. There is no public uptime history, no long-term user base outside the LowEndTalk community, and no third-party SLA documentation. Buyers who need a 99.99% uptime guarantee with credit SLA should look at longer-tenured providers; Cloudblast's pricing page does not currently advertise one.

Comparison: Cloudblast vs Other Budget VPS Providers on VPSTier

We've reviewed 60+ VPS providers on vpstier.com. Here's how Cloudblast stacks up to the closest comparables.

Cloudblast vs RackNerd

RackNerd starts at $1.99/mo for 1 vCPU / 1 GB RAM / 25 GB SSD. Cloudblast's €3.6/mo entry is roughly 1.8× RackNerd's entry in absolute price, but Cloudblast bundles DDoS protection and a 10 Gbps port — both absent at the RackNerd entry tier. RackNerd remains the pure-budget Linux leader; Cloudblast wins on DDoS inclusion + 10 Gbps.

Cloudblast vs Vultr

Vultr starts at $5/mo for 1 vCPU / 1 GB RAM / 25 GB SSD with hourly billing. Cloudblast VMA11 (€3.6/mo for 3 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe) undercuts Vultr's entry on price-per-GB and includes DDoS standard, but Vultr ships 32+ global data centers vs Cloudblast's three. Vultr is the right pick for global coverage; Cloudblast for DDoS + 10 Gbps at the budget tier.

Cloudblast vs HostHatch

HostHatch starts at $4/mo for high-RAM EPYC across 14 documented regions. HostHatch wins on coverage and storage-per-dollar; Cloudblast wins on DDoS inclusion and the 10 Gbps port. If you need Asia-Pacific latency in a region Cloudblast does not cover, HostHatch is the better pick.

Cloudblast vs TMDHosting

TMDHosting starts at $69/mo for fully managed cPanel VPS. Cloudblast and TMDHosting target different buyers entirely: TMDHosting is the "set-it-and-forget-it" managed service with bundled security + 24/7 human support; Cloudblast is bare self-managed KVM. Pick TMDHosting if you want cPanel and management; pick Cloudblast if you want hourly-billed self-managed at €3.6/mo with DDoS standard.

FAQ: Cloudblast VPS in 2026

What is the cheapest Cloudblast VPS plan?

The cheapest Cloudblast VPS plan is VMA11 at €3.6/month (or €0.0049/hour billed hourly). It includes 1 vCPU (AMD EPYC), 3 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe SSD, a 10 Gbps port, 1 IPv4 + /64 IPv6, and DDoS protection as standard. Bandwidth is unlimited in Amsterdam and Salt Lake City; capped at 1 TB/month in Hong Kong.

Where are Cloudblast's data centers?

Cloudblast runs three active data centers: Amsterdam (Digital Realty AMS5, Netherlands), Salt Lake City (SLC1, Utah, United States), and Hong Kong (Eons Data, APAC). A Birmingham (UK) location is listed as "coming soon" on cloudblast.io as of August 2026.

Does Cloudblast include DDoS protection in the price?

Yes. DDoS protection is bundled as standard on every Cloudblast VPS plan at no additional cost. Combined with the 10 Gbps network port, it is one of the more DDoS-friendly entry-level offerings among 2026 budget hosts — most peers at this price either skip DDoS entirely or charge €5-15/mo extra for it.

What virtualization and CPU hardware does Cloudblast use?

Cloudblast runs KVM/Proxmox virtualization on AMD EPYC host nodes. Verified node CPUs include EPYC 7551P (32-core, 512 GB RAM), EPYC 7C13 (Milan, 700 GB RAM), and EPYC 7663 (Milan, 380 GB RAM). Instances are billed by the hour and can be resized, rebuilt, or deleted from the self-service panel without commitment.

How does Cloudblast compare to RackNerd and Vultr?

Cloudblast's €3.6/mo entry is competitive with RackNerd's $1.99 entry but includes DDoS protection and a 10 Gbps port that RackNerd does not. Vultr's $5/mo 1 GB tier is comparable to Cloudblast VMA11 (€3.6/mo) but Vultr ships 32+ global data centers vs Cloudblast's three. Cloudblast fits buyers who specifically want DDoS-included + 10 Gbps in one of three locations; RackNerd remains the pure-budget Linux leader; Vultr remains the global-coverage choice.

Final Verdict

Cloudblast's 2026 opening offer is one of the sharper entry-level deals we've seen in the budget VPS bracket — €3.6/mo for 1 vCPU / 3 GB RAM / 20 GB NVMe with 10 Gbps + DDoS standard across three useful regions (Amsterdam, Salt Lake City, Hong Kong). It is not the cheapest (RackNerd at $1.99 entry undercuts it), not the broadest (Vultr at 32+ locations wins coverage), and not the most established (Cloudblast's first major editorial coverage is from August 2026). What it is, is the right pick for buyers who specifically want DDoS-included + 10 Gbps at the budget tier without paying for a managed service.

If you want DDoS-included budget VPS in one of three locations and can live with the small footprint, Cloudblast is a defensible choice. For pure-budget Linux VPS, see our RackNerd review. For global coverage at €5/mo, see Vultr. For managed cPanel VPS at $69/mo, see TMDHosting.
