Edmonton Micro Instances

Tiny containers, tiny prices, hosted minutes from Edmonton on our own hardware.

Local Hosting

When you only need a lightweight server for a bot, a landing page, or a home-lab service, a full VPS is overkill. Edmonton micro instances from ASCS Cloud give you small Linux containers on dedicated i7 12700KF hardware in Onoway, AB, priced from about $2/month CAD with yearly billing.

They include the same local fibre, Canadian data residency and 14-day free trial as our VPS, but at a fraction of the cost and with no noisy neighbours.
