VPS Cloud Hostings was born out of a bad night. In November 2026, Railway closed the Quantumines account without notice and without giving a reason. Every Quantumines project ran there. Railway kept the custom domains tied to the account and did not return the project databases, even after Quantumines asked in writing for a full export within 7 days. Quantumines covered its own users' losses with account credits. That same night, founder Muhammad Ali Raza (Ali Arbi) and his younger brother and co-founder Muhammad Anas started building their own platform, so that no developer would have to go through the same thing. VPS Cloud Hostings is the result.

What happened

We hosted every one of our products on Railway: Hunt4Coin, ChessMess, CryptoMerchant, VerifDoc, ProxyFall, TwapTrade and quantumines.com. In November 2026 our account was closed overnight, with no warning and no explanation.

Our custom domains stayed locked to the closed account, so we could not attach them to a new one. Our databases, which we created and paid for, were not handed back. We asked in writing for a full export within 7 days and did not receive one.

What it cost

Data stored on the closed account was lost to us, including our users' data. We paid our own users back in account credits and took the loss ourselves.

What we decided

That night we decided never to depend on someone else's goodwill for our own data again, and to build the hosting we wished we'd had: on our own servers, with no lock-in. Muhammad Anas and I started building it that same night.

What VPS Cloud Hostings is

  • Static sites: free.
  • Small websites: $1 a month.
  • Professional apps: $5 a month with $5 of usage included, then fair hourly pricing above that.

It is a Quantumines project, and our own products move onto it first.

What we promise

  • Your data is yours. Database backups and a full export are available from your panel at any time, including after you leave us and including if your account is ever suspended.
  • No silent bans. If we suspend an account, we say which rule was broken.
  • Your domains are yours. Remove a domain from your project and it is released at once.
  • Fair prices. Free static hosting, a $1 plan for small sites, and $5 a month with $5 of usage included for professional apps.

Moving your own project?

If you are moving off Railway or any other host, start at vpscloudhostings.com. Keep a copy of your own database somewhere you control, whichever host you use; we learned that the hard way.
