Use cases

Why builders choose
Cloudzy's Sandbox VPS.

Feature branch testing

Spin up a sandbox for each feature branch. Deploy, run integration tests, tear down. NVMe keeps Docker builds fast. Monthly billing means you pay only for what you use.

Staging environments

Mirror production on a sandbox. Test deployments, database migrations, config changes before they hit your live servers. Same OS, same architecture, lower cost.

CI/CD pipelines

Self-hosted GitHub Actions runners, GitLab CI, or Jenkins agents. Sandboxes run your test suite in isolation. NVMe speeds up artifact caching and Docker layer pulls.

Training & workshops

Give each participant their own sandbox. Pre-configure the environment, share SSH credentials. Everyone gets isolated hardware. Tear down all boxes after the workshop.

Security testing

Test firewall rules, pen-testing tools, vulnerability scanners in a throwaway environment. Break it, rebuild it. No risk to your production infrastructure.

API prototyping

Build and test API endpoints on a sandbox. Share the temporary URL with teammates for feedback. When the prototype is approved, deploy to production on a separate VPS.

FAQ — Sandbox VPS

Common questions, straight answers.

What is a sandbox VPS?
A sandbox VPS is a temporary or disposable server for development and testing. Spin one up in 60 seconds, install your stack, run your tests, and tear it down when you're done. Same AMD EPYC hardware, NVMe, and 40 Gbps as production servers, just used for dev/test purposes.

How fast can I deploy a sandbox?
60 seconds from payment confirmation. Choose your OS, region, and plan size. Root SSH access is ready immediately. Install your dev tools, pull your repo, and start testing within minutes.

Can I quickly rebuild or reinstall the OS?
Yes. Reinstall any supported OS from the Cloudzy dashboard with one click. The reinstall writes to NVMe and completes quickly. Your sandbox resets to a clean state, that's the point.

How much does a sandbox cost?
Plans start at $2.48/mo for the 512 MB tier. For a dev sandbox, the $3.48/mo 1 GB plan handles Docker, a small database, and a web app comfortably. No setup fees, no hidden charges. Monthly billing, cancel anytime.

Can I use Docker on a sandbox VPS?
Yes, full root access means you install Docker, Docker Compose, Podman, or any container runtime. NVMe speeds up image pulls and layer caching. EPYC handles container builds efficiently.

Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes, 14 days, full refund, no questions asked. If the sandbox doesn't work for your dev workflow, you get your money back.

Can I create multiple sandboxes?
Yes. Create as many VPS instances as you need from the Cloudzy dashboard. Each gets its own dedicated resources, IP address, and root access. Manage them all from one account.

Which operating systems are available?
Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Fedora, Arch Linux, FreeBSD, and more. Most developers choose Ubuntu LTS or Debian for sandbox work. Switch OS anytime via reinstall.

Can I use a sandbox for client demos?
Yes. Deploy your app on a sandbox, share the IP or a temporary domain. The client sees a working demo on real hardware. Tear it down after the demo or promote it to a production plan.

Dev environments, zero friction.
Deploy in 60 seconds.
