Common questions
Is Nxeon a good Vultr alternative?+
If you want predictable all-in pricing, Asia-Pacific latency and managed conveniences like daily backups, snapshots, one-click resize and game-server templates, Nxeon is a focused alternative. Vultr is a strong choice if you need a broad global region network and a self-service cloud with many product options.
How does billing differ?+
Nxeon uses simple all-in monthly plans from $6.49 to $32.99 with a dedicated IPv4 included and no credit card required to sign up — we aim to avoid surprise egress or add-on bills. Global clouds like Vultr often bill compute, bandwidth and extras separately, which can be more flexible but harder to predict.
Which is better for global reach?+
Vultr has a large worldwide region network, so if you need points of presence across many continents it's well suited. Nxeon focuses on a single Singapore node for strong Asia-Pacific latency rather than a global footprint.
Can I run game servers more easily on Nxeon?+
Yes. Game servers are a first-class use case with one-click setups for Minecraft, Rust, Valheim, Palworld, CS2 and Terraria, plus a ~47s median deploy. On a general cloud you'd typically configure all of that yourself.
Do I keep full root access?+
Yes — full root over SSH on NVMe storage backed by a self-healing ZFS mirror, plus a noVNC console and an AI build console for when you need them.
