Frequently asked questions
Is GARMTECH cheaper than Cloud Hive DC for VPS?
GARMTECH's lowest advertised VPS tier (V-FIRST, 1 vCPU / 1 GB RAM) starts lower, but that discount requires long-term prepaid billing. Compare the exact spec and billing term you need — entry-tier VPS pricing across providers is not directly apples-to-apples once RAM/CPU/storage differ.
