VPS Hosting Spain

The Madrid Data Center Behind Our Spain VPS

All of our Spanish hosting comes from a large Tier III data center in Madrid, in the Mesena area of the city. The tier of a facility tells you a lot about the quality of the service built on it: Tier III design means redundant power and cooling paths, so equipment can be maintained without taking customer servers offline.

Inside, we run hardware we have selected ourselves, so we can stand behind the stability of the virtualization platform. Careful planning of equipment installation, internet line distribution, firewalls and routers has kept emergency incidents rare. Security of the platform is monitored continuously, aiming for high availability and an intrusion-free environment for your projects.

Madrid's central location within Spain is a real advantage. The city sits roughly in the geographic middle of the Iberian peninsula, so network distances to Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Bilbao, Málaga and Lisbon are fairly even. A Madrid VPS gives balanced response times to users across the whole country rather than favoring one coast.

ES DC I: RAID 10 NVMe Plans in Madrid

Our first Madrid facility runs the NVMe range, configured in RAID 10 for both speed and redundancy. RAID 10 mirrors data across drives and stripes it for performance, so a single disk failure does not take your server down, while reads and writes stay fast. Every plan has ECC memory, a 1 Gbps port and unmetered bandwidth.

The entry plan, 2 vCores with 2 GB RAM and 40 GB NVMe, costs $21 a month and runs Linux. From there, 2 vCores with 4 GB and 60 GB cost $32, 4 vCores with 6 GB and 70 GB cost $49, 4 vCores with 8 GB and 90 GB cost $73, and 6 vCores with 10 GB and 100 GB cost $97. These cover most business websites, online shops and application servers.

Larger workloads move up to 8 vCores with 12 GB and 150 GB at $137, 10 vCores with 14 GB and 170 GB at $168, 16 vCores with 16 GB and 210 GB at $197, and 20 vCores with 24 GB and 310 GB at $246. The top plan offers 24 vCores, 32 GB RAM and 410 GB NVMe for $297. On every ES DC I plan that supports Windows, it costs exactly the same as Linux, so your operating system choice never changes the bill.

Because traffic is unmetered across the whole ES DC I range, choosing a plan comes down to a simple question: how much memory and disk does your application need at its busiest? Pick the plan that covers that with a margin, and upgrade to the next level when your Spanish audience grows.

ES DC II: Large SSD Storage in Madrid

The second Madrid range is built for storage volume. Plans use SSD drives with generous capacity and a fixed monthly transfer allowance, with Linux and Windows priced separately. If your project stores a lot of data, such as media libraries, backups, archives or large databases, this is often the more economical option.

Linux plans start at $16.99 for 1 core, 1 GB RAM, 25 GB SSD and 1000 GB of transfer. They continue with 1 core, 2 GB, 55 GB and 2000 GB at $30.99; 2 cores, 4 GB, 80 GB and 3000 GB at $54.99; 4 cores, 8 GB, 160 GB and 4000 GB at $99.99; 6 cores, 16 GB, 320 GB and 5000 GB at $189.99; and 8 cores, 32 GB, 640 GB and 6000 GB at $269.99. That top plan gives you 640 GB of SSD in Spain.

Windows versions of ES DC II plans cost $45.99 for 1 core, 2 GB RAM and 55 GB SSD; $87.99 for 2 cores, 4 GB and 80 GB; $179.99 for 4 cores, 8 GB and 160 GB; and $277.99 for 6 cores, 16 GB and 320 GB. If you need Windows without the licensing premium, the ES DC I range, where Windows and Linux share one price, is usually better value.

Spanish Audiences and Latency from Madrid

Spanish is spoken by hundreds of millions of people worldwide, but users in Spain expect sites built for them: local pricing in euros, Spanish-language content, and pages that load as fast as those of domestic competitors. A server in Madrid delivers that speed, because requests from Spanish homes and offices travel short distances on domestic networks.

Madrid also reaches beyond Spain's borders. Portugal is next door, and southern France and Andorra are close, while Morocco is just across the Strait of Gibraltar. Spain is also a significant landing point for international cables linking Europe with the Americas and Africa, which helps Madrid-hosted services stay well connected to Latin American and North African users.

Spain runs on Central European Time on the mainland, with the Canary Islands one hour behind. Scheduled tasks, maintenance windows and support conversations therefore line up with the Spanish working day. If part of your audience is elsewhere in Europe, you can complement your Madrid VPS with nearby locations such as a Portugal VPS or a France VPS.

Windows and Linux VPS in Spain

On every ES DC I plan that offers both, Windows and Linux virtual machines cost the same, which is unusual in the hosting market. That makes Madrid a strong choice for Windows-based projects such as .NET applications, MSSQL databases, accounting or ERP software and remote desktops for staff working from Spain.

Available Windows editions include Windows Server 2016, 2019 and 2022, plus Windows 10 and 11 for a desktop experience, all listed in the add-on menu during configuration. You connect over RDP as Administrator, with no restrictions from our side. Linux users choose their preferred distribution and log in over SSH as root.

Several free control panels can be installed at your request when you place the order: VestaCP, ISPmanager, Virtualmin, HestiaCP and CyberPanel. They give you a browser-based interface for domains, email accounts, databases and, on Windows with the right tools, IIS sites. Paid options such as cPanel/WHM and Plesk Obsidian are available as licensed add-ons if you prefer them.

Why Spain VPS Plans Run Only on KVM

Our Spanish servers are priced competitively, but unlike many low-cost providers we do not build them on container-style platforms such as OpenVZ or Virtuozzo, nor on VMware or Xen. Every Madrid VPS runs on KVM, the virtualization technology built into the Linux kernel.

KVM gives each virtual machine its own kernel and fully reserved resources, so your server behaves like a real computer. You can run any Linux distribution or Windows edition, load custom kernel modules, run Docker and other container tools inside your VPS, and use VPN software such as WireGuard that needs kernel support. Other customers on the same host cannot borrow your memory or CPU.

That isolation is also a security advantage. A KVM guest is strongly separated from its neighbors, and you control your own firewall and kernel settings. Combined with latest-generation hardware and RAID 10 NVMe storage in ES DC I, it is why we consider KVM the right foundation for VPS hosting in Spain, regardless of price point.

Madrid VPS for Agencies, Proxies and Email

Companies that want to sell shared hosting from Spain use our Madrid VPS plans as their base. With a control panel and a few extra IPv4 addresses, an agency or reseller can host dozens of client sites on one server, offer them Spanish IP addresses and manage everything from one interface.

Proxy and VPN providers use Madrid servers to give their customers a Spanish presence. Unmetered bandwidth in ES DC I and the ability to add IPv4 addresses make it easy to scale. Because specific ports need to be open at the router level for these services, we keep them unblocked, as long as they are used without abuse.

Email is another common workload. Running newsletters to opt-in subscribers or transactional email from your own server requires open mail ports and, ideally, several IP addresses, both of which are available in Madrid. Other users include developers testing apps for Spanish users, research teams studying the Spanish market, and businesses that need several users to access one server at the same time.

Billing Terms for Your Spain VPS

All Madrid plans are billed monthly by default. If you would rather not deal with monthly invoices, our support team can create a custom invoice for a longer initial period, such as several months or a year, so you can pay once and focus on your project.

You can pay through cryptocurrency or PayPal. During checkout you choose your operating system and extra IPs, enter your contact details if you are a new customer, and then select a payment method. Login details are normally sent very soon after a successful order and payment, but please allow from 30 minutes to 12 hours before opening a ticket to ask about them.

Our refund policy is simple: if we fail to deliver the server you ordered, we refund you. In other circumstances there is no refund, so please ask our team any questions before completing your purchase. We are happy to help you choose the right plan and facility, and that conversation is the best way to avoid any later inconvenience.
