Self-host LLM inference with Ollama on an EU VPS: Ryzen 9 7950X3D, up to 96 GB RAM, full root, no per-token fees. Guide included, from €13/mo, pay with crypto.
Honest sizing first: this is a CPU server, not an GPU cloud. On Ryzen 9 7950X3D with fast NVMe, quantized 7B–14B models (Q4/Q5) generate usable tokens for chat, classification, extraction and tool-calling agents. That covers most internal tools. If you need hundreds of tokens per second on 70B models — that is GPU territory and we will say so plainly.
| Workload | Plan | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Experiments, embeddings, small chat | Core VPS 4 NVMe — €13/mo | 8 GB RAM: 7B Q4 models comfortably |
| Production agent, tools, RAG | Core VPS 12 NVMe — €60/mo | 48 GB RAM: 14B Q5 + vector DB side by side |
| Big context, batch jobs, many models | Performance Plus 16 — €165/mo | 64 GB RAM and 16 vCPU for parallel prompts |
No — and we do not pretend otherwise. For GPU inference use a GPU provider; for CPU-friendly models, private data and predictable costs, this is the better tool.
No — it is your localhost. Rate limits only exist if you put a proxy in front of it yourself.
`ollama pull` when you want a new tag; keep the old tag until you are happy — disk is the only cost.
