Choose how the processor is shared

Every class ships the same hardware menu and the same Ubuntu Server 24.04 (LTS) 64-bit image. What changes is how the processor is shared — and the price moves with it.

Availability

Budget friendly

Cheap for a build box that runs overnight and that nobody waits on.


$283.50USD

per month

Configure

General purpose

Recommended

Consistent processor time, which keeps build times roughly repeatable.


$294.50USD

per month

Configure
Hourly only

Burstable

Not for compilation

A poor fit. Throttles under sustained load, and compilation is sustained load throughout.


$0.5859USD

per hour — booked for a window, not subscribed

Book by the hour

Add cores for a heavy release week and take them off afterwards — the change is made by hand on the same server, usually within the hour.

A machine, not a platform

Most managed hosting decides what you may install. A server does not: you get an operating system and administrator rights, and everything above that is your choice.

Any runtime, any version

Install the compiler, SDK or interpreter you need, at the version you need — including ones a managed platform has stopped supporting.

Your editor, remotely

Run VS Code Remote, JetBrains Gateway or plain SSH against it. The machine keeps running when you close the laptop.

Repeatable build times

On a shared class you get processor time when it is spare, so the same build takes a different time each run. Dedicated cores remove that variance.

Where your server runs

All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server. Choose the region closest to the people pushing code and to whatever the build pulls from — package registries and your git host are the two round trips a build makes most.

VPS for Coding in Anchorage — FAQs

Can I use it as a remote development machine?
Yes. SSH in, or point VS Code Remote or JetBrains Gateway at it. Because it is a server rather than a session, long jobs keep running after you disconnect.
Which languages and frameworks are supported?
All of them. There is no supported-language list because there is nothing between you and the operating system — you install what you need.
Do I get root?
From the first login. Install packages, open ports, change the kernel parameters, run containers. It is your machine.
How much does a coding server cost in Anchorage?
From $305.50 USD per month for 16 GB RAM · 8 Cores · 250 GB. The same price applies in all 24 locations.
