Vestra One

Hosting, a VPN and storage, on one bill.

Half off a game server or VPS, a VPN and 50 GB of storage, for £5.99 a month or £59.90 a year.

Product

Vestra One is a membership that brings three things together: a discount on your hosting, Vestra VPN and more room on Vestra Drive. It costs £5.99 a month or £59.90 a year, in pounds with no VAT added, and you manage all of it from Vestra Console, next to your servers and your bills.

What’s in it

  • 50% off one hosting plan. A game server or a VPS, up to £5 off a month. Storage add-ons stay at full price.
  • Vestra VPN. WireGuard on up to three devices, up to 100 Mbit/s, with 200 GB of traffic a month.
  • 50 GB of Vestra Drive. Up from the 5 GB every Drive account gets for free.

The yearly price is what ten monthly payments would cost, so two months are free.

What it costs

The discount comes off a plan you already pay for, so what Vestra One really costs depends on that plan. Pro is a £9.99 game server. The discount on it is £5.00 a month, so the membership adds 99p a month to your bills. On the yearly plan, a year of discount (£60.00) is slightly more than the membership (£59.90). On Tiny, the discount is £1.00, so the membership adds £4.99 a month.

Monthly plan prices without storage add-ons, in GBP with no VAT added. The discount is 50% of the plan price, up to £5 a month, on one plan.

The discount goes on one plan at a time. If you have one plan, it goes there automatically. If you have more than one, you choose in Console, or tick the Vestra One box when you order a new plan. You can move it once a calendar month, and the change applies from that plan’s next invoice.

The VPN

Vestra VPN runs WireGuard on our server in Helsinki, Finland. To add a device, open Console and you get a configuration file or a QR code for the WireGuard app. We show you the device’s private key once and don’t keep it. Up to three devices can be connected at a time. They share up to 100 Mbit/s and 200 GB of traffic each calendar month. We email you at 80%, and at 200 GB the VPN pauses until the 1st of the next month.

The list of what we keep is short. We don’t record the sites you visit, your DNS queries, the content of your traffic, when you connect or the address you connect from. We do keep three things:

  • the names and public keys of your devices;
  • one data total a month;
  • which port range on our shared IPv4 address, and which IPv6 address, your account held, and when.

The last record is there for abuse reports. If someone reports our address with a port and a time, we can tell which account it was. We keep it for 365 days after your VPN account is deleted. Every staff lookup is recorded, and those records are kept for 12 months.

Your IPv6 address stays the same for as long as your VPN account exists, which matters if you use a VPN so that sites can’t tell your visits apart. When your membership ends, the account is deleted and the address is held back from everyone for 72 hours. If you rejoin, you get an address that’s free at that moment: never your old one within those 72 hours, and after that it may or may not be the same one.

Peer-to-peer traffic is allowed. Sharing infringing material over it is not, and complaints traced to your account can get your VPN switched off. The privacy policy and the terms have the details.

Vestra Drive

To get the extra space, link your Drive account in Console. You enter your Drive username, upload a small file named with the code Console gives you, and press Verify. Your Drive then goes from 5 GB to 50 GB. Your files stay on our Drive server in Nuremberg, Germany, which is backed up and encrypted every night.

Cancelling

You can cancel at any time in Console. Everything keeps working until the end of the month or year you’ve paid for, and you can change your mind before then. Once the membership ends, the hosting discount stops from your plan’s next invoice, your VPN account and its devices are deleted, and Drive goes back to 5 GB.

If you’re using more than 5 GB when that happens, your Drive becomes read-only for 30 days. You can still open, download and delete files, but you can’t upload. We email you when the membership ends, a week before the 30 days are up, and on the last day. After that, your newest files are deleted until you’re back within 5 GB. If you rejoin within the 30 days, nothing is deleted.

If a payment fails, everything keeps working for 7 days while you update your card. After that, the VPN pauses, Drive goes back to 5 GB and the discount comes off future hosting invoices until the payment goes through. Nothing is deleted while a membership is paused.

Limited places

The VPN has a fixed number of places, and we only sell as many memberships as there are places. When they’re all taken, you can join the waitlist on the join page and we’ll email you when places open. The waitlist is free, and joining it doesn’t reserve a place.

Getting it

Join at billing.vestra.systems/one with your Vestra Passport account and choose monthly or yearly. You’ll then find everything under Vestra One in Vestra Console. The full details are on vestra.systems/one.
