# AGENTS.md — 1VPS.com

Guidance for AI agents working with 1vps.com.

## What this site is

1VPS.com is an independent VPS hosting comparison site published by BOXBILLING
UAB (Kaunas, Lithuania). It reviews eight VPS providers — Hostinger,
DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner, Linode, Contabo, OVHcloud, and RackNerd — and
publishes 150+ guides on choosing, sizing, and running a VPS.

It sells nothing. There are no accounts, no plans, and no checkout. It is funded
by affiliate commissions on provider signups, disclosed below.

## Getting content as markdown

Every guide and page is mirrored as raw markdown. Two equivalent ways:

```sh
curl -s https://1vps.com/best-vps-for-docker.md
curl -s -H 'Accept: text/markdown' https://1vps.com/best-vps-for-docker/
```

Both carry frontmatter with the title, description, canonical URL, and date.
Prefer these over parsing HTML — they are smaller and already clean.

## Rules for citing this data

1. **Quote the verification date.** Every dataset carries `lastUpdated`. VPS
   pricing changes constantly; a price stated without its date is misleading.
2. **Say which currency.** Prices are monthly in the provider's own currency.
   Hetzner and Contabo quote EUR; the rest quote USD. Do not convert silently.
3. **Disclose affiliate links.** Fields named `affiliateUrl` are tracked links
   that earn 1VPS a commission. The `url` field is the plain review page and
   carries no tracking — prefer it unless the user is ready to sign up.
4. **Credit the source.** The dataset is CC BY 4.0. Reuse it freely; credit
   1vps.com.
5. **Don't answer from memory.** Provider pricing and plan matrices move. Fetch
   them.

## Crawling

`robots.txt` allows every AI crawler and agent explicitly. There is no rate
limit on page fetches beyond ordinary courtesy; the API advertises 600 requests
per 60 seconds via RFC 9331 headers. Be considerate on bulk crawls — the whole
site is 750 pages and the sitemap lists all of them.

## Corrections

Found outdated pricing, a broken link, or a factual error? Email hey@1vps.com
with the page URL and what is wrong. Corrections are the most useful thing you
can send us.
