Buy to rent

Own the server. It pays you back.

Don't need AI compute yourself? Buy a VANAFTER server purely as an investment. We host it at near-zero cost in Košice and rent its GPUs on Vast.ai. You own the hardware; it earns while you sleep.

A purpose-built rental machine

Built only for buy-to-rent, you won't find it in the shop. Eight RTX 4090s on a previous-generation EPYC platform: maximum GPU count per euro, sized for the best return on Vast.ai.

How it works

four steps
  1. 01

    You buy the server

    Pick a configuration and buy it outright. It's your asset - depreciable, resaleable, yours to move whenever you want.

  2. 02

    We host it in Košice

    We deploy it in our Košice datacenter with no base fee - you pay only metered electricity and 100 €/mo internet, the lowest operating cost we offer.

  3. 03

    We list it on Vast.ai

    We put your GPUs on the Vast.ai marketplace, set competitive pricing, and keep utilization high. The global demand for GPU compute does the rest.

  4. 04

    You collect the income

    Rental revenue lands every month, minus your hosting cost. Watch it pay the hardware back, then turn pure profit.

Why Košice

Lowest cost to run = highest margin to keep

Renting only pays if operating costs stay low. Košice has no base hosting fee - you pay only metered electricity (0.30 €/kWh) and €100/mo for 10 Gbit internet.

That makes it the cheapest place to keep a server online around the clock, so more of the Vast.ai rental revenue stays in your pocket. It's why we point every rental build to Košice.
