Get Lifetime Access

A few things to know.

Have another question?
Get in touch

Does lifetime include both hosting options?

Yes. One $9.99 purchase includes hosted ForgeVPS, unlimited self-hosted installations, and lifetime updates. Existing lifetime customers keep their access, including previously granted free lifetime plans.

Is there a free trial?

Not currently. ForgeVPS is $9.99 once for lifetime access to both hosted and self-hosted. Explore the workspace demo above to see how it works before buying.

What happens after I buy?

Sign in and choose hosted or self-hosted. Connect your VPS to the hosted workspace, or run one command to install ForgeVPS on your own server. The same purchase includes both.

What is a VPS?

A computer you rent online. It runs your apps and websites even when your laptop is off. ForgeVPS adds a workspace you can open in your browser.

Is server hosting included?

No. The $9.99 buys lifetime access to ForgeVPS, not a server. You pay your VPS provider separately. Domains and paid AI plans are separate too.

Which servers can I connect?

ForgeVPS supports Ubuntu and Debian VPSs. Hosted guided setup uses root access and configures system tools. Both hosting options use root for terminal commands, files and server management.

Does self-hosting depend on ForgeVPS.com?

You sign in and validate lifetime access for installation and updates. After installation, your workspace runs on your VPS with local sign-in. ForgeVPS.com does not route its terminal or file connections, and an outage here does not stop the installed workspace.

Do I need to know how to code?

You don’t need to type commands to browse files or manage an app. Building and fixing apps may still take some coding. A full terminal is there when you need it.

Are there any monthly fees?

There’s no monthly fee for ForgeVPS. You pay once for lifetime access. Your VPS provider and any paid AI tools may have their own monthly fees.

What happens when I close ForgeVPS?

Your apps keep running on your VPS. Your files and data stay there too, and you keep direct access to your server through SSH.
