## What we offer

- **VPS Hosting** - Fully customizable virtual private servers with enterprise hardware, block storage, and transparent pricing. CPU is shared with other tenants at this tier.
- **VDS Performance** - High-performance VDS on Intel Xeon 6731P with DDR5 ECC memory. Dedicated CPU, maximum throughput.
- **GPU Metal** - Dedicated bare-metal GPU servers. The entire machine is yours: no virtualization, no passthrough, no shared tenants. Multi-GPU NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 / 5000 / 6000 configurations on AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon, plus custom builds up to 8 GPUs.
- **On-Demand Cloud GPUs** - Full GPU passed through to a VDS. NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000, RTX PRO 5000, RTX PRO 6000, B300 and Intel Arc Pro A40. Deploy instantly, upgrade to dedicated GPU metal when workload outgrows it. Suited for inference, training, LLMs, rendering.
- **Instant Metal** - Intel Xeon Gold/Platinum dedicated servers (Xeon Scalable 6230 / 6240R / 8260), 128GB to 384GB ECC RAM, 10Gbps ports, deployed in minutes. From $225/mo.
- **Custom Bare Metal** - Built-to-spec servers on AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon Gold/Platinum, up to 1TB RAM, 10Gbps ports. Private clouds, clusters, and migrations.
- **Block Storage** - NVMe-backed, fault-tolerant volumes from 1TB to 32TB at a flat $4/TB per month. No metered reads, no egress fees. Attaches to VPS, VDS, Instant Metal, and cloud GPU servers over the internal network.
- **Apps** - Fully-managed container platform. Push code or connect a Git repo and get a URL. Each instance runs in its own microVM. Free plan (one app per team, always on, custom domains), then paid tiers priced by plan with autoscaling, custom domains, and multi-region placement.
- **Functions** - Serverless Node.js 22 and Python 3.12 handlers on dedicated microVMs (any other stack via Dockerfile). HTTP, cron, and webhook triggers; scales to zero. $1.40 per million invocations with 125,000 free invocations per month.

## Key differentiators

- **Fully in-house support** - Every ticket is handled by the same Synteq staff who run the platform. No outsourced help desks.
- **Transparent pricing** - Published pricing on every product page. No sales-call-required tiers.
- **Vertically integrated** - We design our own systems and run our own network (see /looking-glass for live diagnostics).
- **99.99% uptime SLA** - Monthly guarantee. Service credits of 1 free day per full hour of qualifying downtime, up to 30 days per month.
- **High availability VPS** - Every VPS runs on replicated NVMe storage with automatic failover: if the physical host fails, the VPS restarts on a healthy host from the same disk. Included at no extra cost.
- **Storage VPS** - Attach block storage volumes to any VPS; CPU and RAM are chosen separately from storage. Volumes are replicated on the distributed storage cluster, survive a host failure, and have no egress fees.
- **VPS vs VDS distinction** - VPS shares CPU; VDS gives you dedicated CPU cores. Block storage available on any VPS.
