Spring Boot hosting on a VPS — from €5.49/mo
Run your Java application on Spring — a server tuned for the JVM, PostgreSQL and Redis, with a 5-hour test period before payment, completely risk-free
Launch Spring now
A Spring Boot VPS is a virtual server with full root access for deploying applications built on the Spring framework. You install Linux and the JDK version your project needs, run the executable jar with its embedded Tomcat or behind an external application server, and add PostgreSQL and Redis alongside. NVMe storage speeds up Maven and Gradle builds, while dedicated RAM lets you tune the JVM precisely for your load. Plans start at €5.49/mo, and a 5-hour test period lets you measure response times on your own service before paying.
Plans
VPS for Spring Boot
A single Spring Boot service needs at least 2 GB of heap: a side project runs fine on Standard 1 (4 vCPU, 4 GB), a production service on Standard 2 (4 vCPU, 6 GB). Several services side by side call for 16 GB (Power 1). 5-hour test period before payment.

Your own Java environment
Install the JDK version you need, plus Maven or Gradle — the environment is built entirely around your Spring Boot project and its dependencies.
JVM tuning
Dedicated RAM and vCPU let you set heap sizes and garbage collector options to match the actual load on your service.
Full control
Root access, jar startup via systemd, Nginx as a reverse proxy with SSL, backups — the server is entirely yours.
How to run Spring on a VPS
Choose a plan and image
Pick a plan — Standard 1 (4 vCPU, 4 GB) or Standard 2 (4 vCPU, 6 GB) — and select a Linux image: Ubuntu, Debian or another distribution for your stack.
Install the OS yourself
Through the panel you deploy the chosen OS on a KVM server yourself — the configuration stays fully under your control.
Deploy the application
Over SSH or the KVM console, install the JDK, build the project, run the jar via systemd and connect PostgreSQL.
A server sized for your Spring service
We will suggest the right plan for your load: how much RAM to allow for the JVM heap, how many vCPU, and how much NVMe space for the database and logs.
We will also help set up Nginx as a reverse proxy with HTTPS via Let's Encrypt. For a separate database machine see VPS for databases, for container deployments — VPS with Docker.

Any — you install the JDK version yourself, whether an LTS release or newer, to match your Spring Boot version.
Yes. With root access you deploy PostgreSQL and Redis right next to the application — everything on one VPS.
The JVM is memory-hungry: allow at least 2 GB of heap per application, which means a 6 GB server as a minimum (Standard 2, €6.99/mo). Several services need 16 GB or more.
Set -Xmx explicitly and leave the system 1–2 GB: on a 6 GB server a sensible heap cap is around 4 GB. Without a limit the JVM can consume all memory and take down neighbouring services.
No: Spring Boot builds into an executable jar with an embedded server. An external Tomcat is only used for war deployments — on a VPS that is your choice, not a hosting restriction.
Via a systemd unit with auto-start and restart on failure. Logs go to journald, and rotation is handled by standard system tools.
Ubuntu LTS is the most common choice: fresh packages and plenty of documentation. Debian is picked for stability, AlmaLinux for the RHEL ecosystem.
Set the application up as a systemd service with auto-start and restart — we can help with the basic unit file and Nginx configuration.
