VS Code VPS — from €5.49/mo
Code from your browser on your own server — code-server and remote development, with a 5-hour test period before payment, completely risk-free
Open VS Code now
A VS Code VPS is a virtual server with full root access for remote development. You install code-server yourself and open the familiar VS Code right in the browser, or connect to the server from local VS Code over Remote-SSH. Code, dependencies and builds live on the server, so you can work from any device and heavy tasks never load your laptop. Plans start from €5.49/mo, and a 5-hour test period lets you check how responsive the environment feels on your own project before paying.
Plans
VPS for VS Code
A light project in code-server runs on Standard 1 (4 vCPU, 4 GB); a working one on Standard 2 (4 vCPU, 6 GB). Language servers and builds feel better on Standard 3 (6 vCPU, 8 GB). 5-hour test period before payment.

VS Code in the browser
Install code-server and open the familiar editor with your extensions from any browser — nothing to install on the local machine.
Work from any device
Code and the environment live on the server — continue from a laptop, tablet or another computer exactly where you left off.
Full control
Root access, your own stack and SDKs, access over SSH and VS Code Remote — the development environment is set up entirely for you.
How to set up VS Code on a VPS
Choose a plan and an 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 development.
Install the OS yourself
Through the panel you deploy the chosen OS on a KVM server yourself and keep the configuration fully under your control.
Install code-server and your stack
Over SSH or the KVM console install code-server, set up HTTPS and a password, then add the languages and tools you need.
A development environment for your stack
We will help you estimate how much vCPU and RAM your project needs so builds, linters and the debugger run in the editor without lag.
We can also help secure access to code-server: HTTPS, a password or an SSH tunnel. Other environments are covered on the developer tools page, and project isolation on VPS for Docker.

It is the same editor, running on the server and opened in a browser. The interface, extensions and terminal feel identical — everything just runs remotely.
No. With code-server a browser is enough. Alternatively, connect local VS Code to the same server over Remote-SSH.
Nothing: processes keep running on the server, and the code-server tab restores its state when you reconnect. Keep long tasks in tmux or under systemd.
Yes. The code and environment live on the server, so you continue from a laptop, tablet or another PC exactly where you stopped.
Set up HTTPS, a code-server password, or allow access only through an SSH tunnel. We can help with the basic secure-access setup.
For comfortable work with extensions and language servers take 6 vCPU and 8 GB — Standard 3 for €8.99/mo. Light projects run fine on 4 GB.
Only behind a password and TLS: the web editor gives access to the server terminal. Put Nginx with authentication in front, or connect through an SSH tunnel.
You choose an image and deploy the system yourself — through the panel or the KVM console. We never touch your software; the server is entirely yours.
