SketchUp VPS — from €5.49/mo
Model and render in the cloud — a SketchUp and V-Ray VPS on NVMe with a 5-hour test period, so you risk nothing
Deploy a SketchUp server
A SketchUp VPS is a virtual server with full root access for 3D modelling and rendering — in effect a cloud workstation. You deploy the OS yourself and install your own SketchUp licence with V-Ray and plugins, while heavy rendering runs on a server with vCPU and RAM to spare. Work on your models remotely from any device, with NVMe drives keeping projects and textures close at hand. Plans start at €5.49/mo, and a 5-hour test period lets you check the speed on your own models before paying.
Plans
A VPS for SketchUp
Standard 1 and Standard 2 shown here suit project and asset storage. Working in SketchUp over RDP needs 12 GB and up — Standard 5 (8 vCPU, 12 GB) — while GPU rendering in V-Ray needs a configuration with a graphics card. 5-hour test period before payment.

Your own SketchUp and plugins
Deploy the OS you need and install your own SketchUp licence with V-Ray and any extensions — the server is entirely yours.
Rendering on the server
Heavy renders and large scenes are computed on a powerful server instead of your PC — work from any device.
Projects on NVMe
Fast drives and spare RAM keep large models, textures and asset libraries close, speeding up both modelling and rendering.
How to run SketchUp on a VPS
Pick a plan and an image
Choose a plan — Standard 1 (4 vCPU, 4 GB) or Standard 2 (4 vCPU, 6 GB) — and select the OS image for your SketchUp installation and remote access.
Install the OS yourself
Through the panel you deploy the chosen OS on a KVM server yourself — the configuration stays fully under your control.
Install SketchUp
Connect over remote desktop or the KVM console, install SketchUp with V-Ray and plugins, and upload your projects.
A server for 3D modelling
We will suggest a plan for your model complexity and rendering load: how much RAM, how many vCPU and how much NVMe space for textures. For graphics acceleration we quote a GPU configuration separately.
We also help set up remote access and a secure connection. An overview of visualisation workloads is on the VPS for 3D rendering page, and GPU rendering runs on servers with a graphics card.

Yes. You have root access — install SketchUp, V-Ray and any extensions your modelling workflow needs.
Yes. We provide the server, and you install your own SketchUp and V-Ray licence — the server is entirely yours.
The base plans focus on vCPU, RAM and NVMe. For graphics and render acceleration we quote a GPU configuration separately.
SketchUp models themselves are light, but V-Ray texture and asset libraries grow fast: plan for 120 GB of NVMe and up — that is Standard 5.
For modelling over RDP, 8 vCPU and 12 GB are enough — Standard 5 at €13.99/mo. Heavy models with extensions are more comfortable on 16 GB (Power 1, €17.99).
LayOut works normally, and so does V-Ray in CPU mode — rendering runs on the server cores. GPU rendering requires a configuration with a graphics card.
Yes, through separate Windows accounts: everyone works in their own session, with files kept in a shared folder on the server.
You deploy the system yourself: pick a Windows Server image and install it through the panel. If anything goes wrong, the KVM console gives access to the server as if it were a physical machine.
