Everything we run for you
One billing panel for every service — hardened VPS plans, managed infrastructure and game servers, all on monthly billing with no contract.
Elevated VPS
Hardened-by-default virtual servers, provisioned by the engineers who write the hardening rules. Audit score on day one; drift reports every month.
Game servers
Minecraft, Rust, Palworld, FiveM and CS2 on NVMe with DDoS protection and a real control panel. Instant build, priced per GB of RAM.
Managed everything
Add managed support to any service and our team handles setup, patching, monitoring and migrations — confirmed in tickets, not chatbots.
$ ./verify
Proof, not promises
Most hosts say their servers are secure. We hand you the audit.
Hardened on day one
Every Elevated box ships hardened against the same checks our open-source Hardline CLI audits — and you get the score with your access details.
Monthly drift reports
Managed plans get a monthly re-audit: what changed, what slipped, and what we fixed. Security you can show your own clients.
Built by a security publication
SudoSecurity writes about hardening infrastructure for a living. Elevated is that same work, delivered as a service.

Questions
What is Elevated by SudoSecurity?
Elevated is our hosting product line: hardened VPS plans, managed infrastructure and game servers, all provisioned and supported by the engineers who write our security audits.
How is an Elevated VPS different from any other VPS?
It ships hardened, not stock. Your service is built against our hardening checklist and you receive the audit score on day one — plus monthly drift reports on managed plans.
How fast is setup?
Game servers are built automatically within minutes of payment. Elevated VPS and managed plans are provisioned by an engineer — usually within a few hours — and you get a notification with your access details.
What billing terms do you offer?
Monthly, quarterly and annual billing with a discount on longer cycles. Pay by card or PayPal, apply coupons or account credit, and cancel at the end of any paid period.
Can you manage my server for me?
Yes — managed plans include patching, monitoring and monthly drift reports by our Systems Engineers. On game servers, managed support is a per-GB add-on covering installs, tuning and migrations.
