These are Proxmox LXC containers, not KVM VMs: public IPv6, console access, and a low monthly price, with the shared-kernel limits that come with LXC.
ASCS Cloud runs Intel Core i9 14900KF micro instances in Onoway, Alberta. Each is a Proxmox LXC container with public IPv6, console access, and a monthly price from $3.69 CAD. The trade-off is shared-kernel LXC, not a KVM virtual machine.
What’s new
Our micro instances now run on Intel Core i9 14900KF CPUs with container-based isolation. Instead of a full VM, you get a lightweight isolated Linux container: quick to deploy, gentle on resources, and ready in seconds.
Plans and specs
Every plan includes console access, a public IPv6 Alberta address, and instant provisioning. Yearly billing saves 5%.
| Plan | CPU | RAM | Storage | Price (CAD/mo) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nano | 1 vCPU | 1GB DDR4 | 16GB SSD | $3.69 |
| Mini | 1 vCPU | 2GB DDR4 | 16GB SSD | $4.19 |
| Base | 1 vCPU | 4GB DDR4 | 16GB SSD | $4.57 |
| Plus | 1 vCPU | 4GB DDR4 | 32GB SSD | $4.97 |
| Max | 1 vCPU | 4GB DDR4 | 32GB SSD + 300GB HDD | $5.57 |
Not sure which one to pick? That’s completely normal. Start small and upgrade later whenever you need a little more room.
What you can run
With 1 vCPU and 1–4GB RAM, these are a great fit for lightweight, always-on workloads:
- Web apps and APIs (Node, Python, Go)
- Bots and automations (Discord, Telegram, cron jobs)
- Small databases (Postgres, Redis)
- VPN, DNS, and reverse proxies (Nginx, Caddy, Traefik, WireGuard)
- Dev and staging environments
- Lightweight game servers and uptime monitors
If it’s small and always on, it’s right at home here.
How it works
- Pick a plan — every plan is provisioned automatically.
- Your container deploys in seconds on an Intel Core i9 14900KF.
- Open the console, connect over IPv6, and you’re in.
We’ll walk you through the rest as you go.
Connect and get productive
- Console: use the built-in web console from your dashboard — handy for your first boot, or if SSH is ever blocked.
- SSH over IPv6:
ssh user@your-ipv6-address. IPv6 is enabled by default. - Firewall: start with
ufw(simple) ornftables(more advanced). Default-deny inbound, then allow only what you actually use. - Containers: Docker works out of the box — for example:
apt update && apt install -y docker.io
docker run -d -p 80:80 nginxA quick word on IPv6
Each instance includes a dedicated public IPv6 address on Alberta infrastructure, with no NAT in the way. That makes it a lovely place to learn real routing, test dual-stack services, and run services that are directly reachable. Add an AAAA record and you’re live, without the usual port-forward gymnastics.
Need IPv4 as well? Our full VPS plans have you covered.
What if I need something bigger?
Plenty of people start on a micro instance and grow from there. If you’re an IPv6 enthusiast who needs more room, we can help with that too — we also offer larger-scale virtual machines (full VMs, not containers) with IPv6. Just reach out and we’ll put together a quote and confirm current availability.
