Cloud VMs are now live in Toronto. You can log into the Nexus panel, pick a size, choose an OS, and have a KVM virtual machine running on our own hardware at 245 Consumers Road in a matter of seconds. Billing is hourly — you pay for what you run, and you can destroy an instance the moment you're done with it.
This is the same self-service flow we already run in our other locations, now pointed at our Canadian flagship. Same panel, same DDoS protection, same BGP support via AS398999 — with your data staying in Canada.
Budget Pricing, On Purpose
Toronto VMs are priced as a volume play — roughly half of our standard rates. We would rather run a full rack of active instances than a half-empty one with premium price tags, so we passed that decision straight through to the price sheet. Every tier below is the price you actually pay in the panel.
| Plan | vCPU / RAM | NVMe | Hourly | ~ Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VM-1C-2G | 1 vCPU / 2 GB | 55 GB | $0.005/hr | ~$3.75 |
| VM-2C-4G | 2 vCPU / 4 GB | 80 GB | $0.0105/hr | ~$7.67 |
| VM-4C-8G | 4 vCPU / 8 GB | 160 GB | $0.0205/hr | ~$15 |
| VM-6C-16G | 6 vCPU / 16 GB | 320 GB | $0.041/hr | ~$30 |
| VM-8C-32G | 8 vCPU / 32 GB | 640 GB | $0.082/hr | ~$60 |
Prices are in USD. There is no separate setup fee and no minimum term — hourly means hourly.
What Every VM Includes
- Full KVM virtualization — dedicated vCPU allocation, NVMe storage, root access, and console access through the panel
- SucuraGuard DDoS protection — included at no extra cost on every instance
- IPv4 + /64 IPv6 — dual-stack out of the box
- Instant deploy — Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky and more, provisioned automatically
- Premium transit — multiple tier-1 upstreams with full BGP support
- Snapshots and backups — built into the panel for every VM
Canadian data residency without the enterprise price tag. If you serve Canadian users or handle data subject to Canadian privacy law, Toronto keeps that data in-country — and now it starts at $0.005/hr.
Why Toronto, Why Now
We own and operate the Toronto facility directly — this isn't a reseller arrangement. That means we set the pricing, we run the hardware, and we can afford to keep launch rates low to fill capacity. Toronto also gives you low-latency access to the US market, so you get Canadian data residency without giving up reach.
For teams that want both sides of the border, Toronto pairs cleanly with our existing US locations — same panel, same protection, one bill.
