Your development server in three steps, no setup work required.
Pick your Developer VDS package, location and the Docker / Node.js install options, then place your order.
Your server is provisioned and the Docker and Node.js environment you selected is installed automatically.
Connect via SSH, then git clone and docker compose up to ship your application in minutes.
Enterprise-grade virtual server infrastructure delivering unmatched performance and reliability, with your dev tools ready to go.
ssh root@server
sudo systemctl start
docker --version
node -v
Discover top-tier virtual server performance backed by enterprise-grade hardware and redundant connectivity, plus ready-to-use developer tooling.
All our Developer VDS servers run on KVM-based virtualization. It delivers full hardware isolation with CPU, RAM and disk resources dedicated exclusively to you, never shared with other users.
Enterprise-grade NVMe SSD disks deliver far faster read/write speeds than traditional SATA SSDs. Your applications load instantly with the fastest virtual server experience.
Select Docker (Docker Engine + Docker Compose) and/or a Node.js LTS version on the order form, and your server arrives with it already installed and ready — skip the setup and start building right away.
Free weekly automatic backups protect your Developer VDS data and your container/application configuration. Restore your entire server or individual files at any time through the backup management panel.
Install any operating system you want on your Developer VDS — Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, AlmaLinux, Windows Server or a custom ISO. Full root access gives you complete control.
Multi-layer firewall protection provides enterprise-grade DDoS mitigation, keeping your virtual server online against volumetric and application-layer attacks.
Hours spent on setup are a cost too; Developer VDS saves you both.
Everything you need to know about Developer VDS, Docker and Node.js install options.
Developer VDS has the same dedicated CPU, RAM and disk resources as our standard VPS/VDS infrastructure, but is delivered with Docker and/or Node.js pre-installed if you select that option at order time.
No. Docker (Docker Engine and Docker Compose) and/or Node.js installation is included free on every Developer VDS package; simply select what you need on the order form.
You can choose from the current Node.js LTS versions on the order form. With full root access, you can switch versions yourself at any time, or ask our support team for help.
Hardware, resource allocation and pricing are identical; no resource is ever shared with other customers. The only difference is that Developer VDS orders come with Docker and/or Node.js pre-installed. If you don't need that, our standard Virtual Server (VPS/VDS) packages are also available.
Yes, you can scale your server resources (CPU, RAM and storage) with near-zero downtime. Simply select a higher package from your control panel; your IP address, data and installed Docker/Node.js environment remain unchanged.
All our Developer VDS servers are protected by a multi-layer DDoS protection infrastructure. Network-layer attacks are automatically detected and blocked within seconds, without affecting legitimate traffic. You can also define additional firewall rules through your root access.
All Developer VDS packages include free weekly backups; backups are stored on separate backup servers and let you perform a full server restore within minutes. Daily backup add-ons are also available for those who need more frequent backups.
Developer VDS servers are provisioned fully automatically, including the Docker and Node.js install you choose, and are ready in about 5 minutes after payment confirmation. Your connection details are sent by email.
The Dev VDS-1 package offers 2 Core Xeon Gold CPU, 8 GB ECC RAM, 40 GB NVMe SSD, a 1 Gbps connection and 1 IPv4 for $6/month. It is delivered with Docker installed in about 5 minutes and is ideal for small projects, APIs and test environments.
With the Node.js install option, once your server is ready just connect via SSH, clone your project, install dependencies and run the app with PM2 or Docker. With full root access you can also set up a reverse proxy such as Nginx.
Developer VDS packages range from $6/month (Dev VDS-1) to $22.50/month (Dev VDS-5: 8 Core, 32 GB RAM, 150 GB NVMe). The Docker and Node.js install, NVMe storage, a 1 Gbps connection and 1 IPv4 are included.
Developer VDS shares the same underlying infrastructure as our standard VDS/VPS packages — a physical server split into multiple isolated instances — but is tailored to developers' workflows. At order time you can select a Docker and/or Node.js install, and your server arrives ready to run containers or your Node.js application, no manual setup required.
VECDC's Developer VDS solutions are built on KVM hypervisor technology, which provides true hardware-level isolation between virtual machines. Combined with enterprise-grade Xeon processors, DDR4 ECC memory and NVMe SSD storage, our servers deliver consistent, high-performance computing power for every development and deployment workload.
When you select Docker (Docker Engine + Docker Compose) and/or a Node.js LTS version on the order form, the install is included as part of the automated provisioning process. Once payment is confirmed, your server is delivered with the tools you selected already installed and ready to use — no manual setup needed. With full root access, you're always free to add packages or switch versions later.
Developer VDS can host nearly any developer-focused workload: containerized applications, microservice test environments, CI/CD runners, Node.js-based APIs and web services, staging/development environments, and isolated test servers. It's ideal for teams who want consistency between their local development setup and their cloud environment.
Before renting a Developer VDS, evaluate five criteria: location, disk technology, resource allocation, security and support. Choose NVMe SSD over SATA SSD for disk speed; the difference directly affects build times and container startup speed. Verify that CPU and RAM resources are dedicated to you rather than shared, and make sure DDoS protection and regular backups are included in the package.
Server location directly affects your application's speed and user experience. At VECDC you choose your server's location at order time, so you can pick the Developer VDS location closest to your audience — wherever they are — to achieve the lowest latency.
With a Docker-ready VPS you can run web applications, APIs, databases and background services as containers within minutes. Docker Compose lets you bring up multi-service projects with a single command and receive automated deployments from your CI/CD pipeline. With prices from $6/month and setup in about 5 minutes, VECDC Developer VDS is one of the fastest starting points for developers.
