Every Skyline VPS plan, with nothing hidden behind a sales call. Prices are per month and exclude 15% VAT; the right-hand column shows what actually leaves your wallet.
| Plan | vCPU | Memory | Disk | SAR / month | With 15% VAT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Riyadh 1 | 1 | 4 GB | 50 GB | 99 | 113.85 |
| Riyadh 2 | 2 | 8 GB | 80 GB | 189 | 217.35 |
| Riyadh 3 | 4 | 16 GB | 160 GB | 379 | 435.85 |
| Riyadh 6-Core | 6 | 24 GB | 240 GB | 569 | 654.35 |
| Riyadh 4 | 8 | 32 GB | 320 GB | 749 | 861.35 |
Two things about this table are deliberate. First, the smallest plan already has 4 GB of memory, because a 1 GB server that swaps under a single WordPress cron run is not a saving. Second, the price is fixed: it is not a consumption estimate, and it does not move with an exchange rate. For the same prices next to every other Skyline product, see the full Skyline Cloud price list.
Only the plans named Riyadh are hosted in Saudi Arabia. The complete server catalogue further down this page also lists plans named Cloud 1 to Cloud 6; those run in international regions outside the Kingdom, so do not choose them for a workload that must stay in Saudi Arabia.
Servers are paid from a prepaid wallet held in riyals. You can pay one month at a time, or prepay a quarter, half a year or a year. The longer terms are the same price per month — they are there for companies whose procurement prefers one purchase order a year. Every charge produces a ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoice with the VAT shown, which is usually the document your accountant asks for first.
Monthly prices in SAR, excluding 15% VAT. Cancel any time — unused prepaid days are refunded pro-rata.

| Riyadh 3 | 4 vCPU · 16 GB RAM · 160 GB disk | 379 SAR |

Sizing advice is usually vague because the honest answer is "measure it". These are starting points that we see hold up; resize once the monitoring tab tells you otherwise.
| Workload | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| One production website or API, a staging box, a VPN or bastion host | Riyadh 1 | 4 GB is comfortable for Nginx, PHP or Node and a small database on the same machine |
| A busy online store, or an app with its database on the same server | Riyadh 2 | The second core keeps the database from starving the web workers at checkout time |
| ERP or accounting systems such as Odoo or ERPNext for a mid-sized company | Riyadh 3 | These applications are memory-hungry and slow down sharply before they fail |
| Several containers, a CI runner, or a reporting database | Riyadh 6-Core | Parallel jobs need cores more than they need clock speed |
| A large database, or many company systems consolidated onto one host | Riyadh 4 | 32 GB lets the working set stay in memory |
If the job is one WordPress or Laravel site and nobody on the team wants to be woken by a full disk, a VPS is the wrong product. Skyline web hosting plans start at 49 SAR, include free SSL and nightly backups kept for 30 days, and leave the operating system to us. Likewise, do not run your own mail server on a VPS to save money: deliverability is a full-time job, and hosted business mailboxes from 17 SAR cost less than the hours you would spend on it.
The line between our job and yours is worth stating before you buy rather than after an incident.
| Skyline is responsible for | You are responsible for |
|---|---|
| The platform the server runs on, its network and its reachability | Operating system updates and security patches |
| The console: firewall, resize, monitoring charts | The firewall rules you choose, SSH keys and user accounts |
| Billing in SAR and ZATCA e-invoices | Your application, its database and their configuration |
| Support for the platform in Arabic and English | Backups of the data inside the server |
There are no Windows images. There is one Saudi region, Riyadh, and servers are single machines: if your design needs load balancers across availability zones, managed Kubernetes or a managed database service, a hyperscaler is the right tool and we say so on our page for teams weighing a move off AWS. New accounts can run up to 5 servers and 32 vCPU in total; more is on request. There are no image snapshots or platform-run server backups on Riyadh servers today. And we publish no uptime percentage, because a number we cannot show you evidence for is marketing, not engineering.
What you do get is a properly sized Linux server in Riyadh, at a price you can put in a budget, with a bill your finance team can file. If the reason you are looking inside the Kingdom is regulatory rather than technical, our guide to what Saudi data residency involves in practice is the better next read.
Five images are offered at launch: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Debian 12, AlmaLinux 9 and Rocky Linux 9. Windows Server images are not offered, so a workload that needs Windows is not a fit today.
The published prices exclude VAT. With 15% VAT, Riyadh 1 comes to 113.85 SAR a month, Riyadh 2 to 217.35, Riyadh 3 to 435.85, Riyadh 6-Core to 654.35 and Riyadh 4 to 861.35. The amount is taken from your prepaid SAR wallet and each charge produces a ZATCA e-invoice.
Yes. A server can be prepaid monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly. The longer terms carry no discount; they exist so that finance teams can raise one purchase order for the year instead of twelve.
Yes. You can resize a server to a plan with more CPU and memory from the console and pay only the pro-rated difference for the remainder of the term you have already paid for.
A new account can run up to 5 servers with a combined 32 vCPU. This is an anti-abuse limit rather than a technical one: if you need more, open a support request and the limit is reviewed for your team.
No. A Skyline VPS is self-managed: you hold root, and updates, hardening, application monitoring and backups of the data inside the server are your responsibility. If you want a managed arrangement, ask for a separate quotation.
Not today. Riyadh servers have no image snapshots and no platform-run server backups, so there is nothing to roll back to from the console. Protect the data yourself: a scheduled database dump, an off-server copy of the dumps and your files with Skyline Backup (300 SAR per TB a month, stored in the Kingdom) or your own job, and a restore you have actually rehearsed on a second server before the upgrade.
In a cloud region in Riyadh. Riyadh is the only Saudi region Skyline sells servers in, and the five plans named Riyadh are the ones hosted there. Plans named Cloud 1 to Cloud 6 run in international regions outside the Kingdom, so check the plan name before you launch.
Opening an account is free and needs no card. Servers themselves are paid from your wallet, and the code SKY30, entered at signup, puts 50 SAR of credit toward the first one.
