WebPros sent an email to SolusVM subscribers, informing them of a coming price increase.

The product is being hiked by 29.2%.  On LowEndTalk, @EthernetServers said this was the first price hike they could remember in 10+ years, so perhaps it’s not unjustified.

A double-digit percent increase sounds scary but keep in mind that SolusVM is $10/month/node at present, cheaper on annual billing, so this isn’t bank-busting.

Still, it comes at a time when providers are increasingly facing pressures on all fronts.  Labor costs are going up because consumer prices are going up, and server hardware costs have skyrocketed.  At the same time, it’s tough to raise prices because users are facing the same squeeze so they have less disposable income.

Here’s the text of the announcement:

We are informing you of an upcoming change to SolusVM pricing.

Effective November 9, 2026, your current Unlimited Compute Resource rate will increase by 29.9%. This change applies to both SolusVM 1 and SolusVM 2.

Micro and Mini pricing remains unchanged.

This is our first pricing adjustment for SolusVM in many years. During that time, we have continued to invest in and develop the platform, most recently with High Availability and automatic VM failover, now live and included for all customers.
The new pricing supports continued investment in SolusVM while maintaining a simple and competitive per-node licensing model.

What changes:

• Unlimited: 29.9% increase to your current rate
• Mini: no change
• Micro: no change
• Effective date: November 9, 2026
• Billing model: no change. SolusVM licensing remains a simple, flat per-node model.

If you have an individually negotiated or discounted Unlimited rate, the 29.9% adjustment will be calculated from your current rate.The updated rate will apply in line with the applicable renewal terms for your account following the notice period. No action is required from you.

If you have questions about your account or would like confirmation of your new rate, please contact Submit a request – SolusVM.

The applicable SolusVM terms are available here: Terms of Service – SolusVM.

Thank you for your continued partnership with SolusVM.

Kind regards,

The SolusVM Team
