Detailed Rating
Kamatera traces its roots to The OMC Group, an Israeli IT services company founded in 1995 by brothers Assaf and Yohai Azulai. The Kamatera brand launched in 1996 and grew into a full enterprise cloud infrastructure platform. The legal entity is Kamatera Inc., headquartered at 315 Madison Avenue, New York City, NY 10017, USA.
The company operates under the laws of the State of Israel. OMC Group owns several cloud brands: ClubVPS, VPSServer.com, JetServer, and GNS Cloud Solutions. The team has around 50-200 employees worldwide.
Infrastructure runs on KVM virtualization and Intel Xeon Platinum CPUs (Ice Lake/Cascade Lake, over 2.7 GHz). Storage uses NVMe SSD arrays with hardware accelerators, and each virtual server gets 10 Gbit/sec connectivity with IPv6. All data centers are AICPA SOC 2 Type II certified.
Kamatera runs over 24 data centers across 4 continents: Los Angeles, Santa Clara, Dallas, Chicago, New York, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, and Toronto (North America); London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Milan, Madrid, and Stockholm (Europe); Tel Aviv, Petah Tikva, Rosh HaAyin, and Haifa (Israel); Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sydney (Asia-Pacific).
The main offer includes cloud servers (VPS), virtual dedicated servers (VDS), cloud desktops, cloud firewalls, load balancers, and block storage. Pricing starts at $4/month with 4 processor types: Availability, General Purpose, Burstable, and Dedicated — to optimize the price-to-performance ratio.
Extreme flexibility lets scaling from 1 to 104 vCPUs and up to 524 GB RAM, with no downtime and no contracts. Billing is monthly or per minute, paying only for the resources used. Extra storage: $0,05/GB/month, traffic: $0,01/GB.
The physical infrastructure includes N+1 redundant systems, UPS, and independent generators. Cloud firewalls support FortiGate VM, OPNSense, Sophos, or BYOD.
Managed services in 3 tiers: Unmanaged (free), Pro Managed ($50/month), and Premium Managed ($150/month), with 24/7 monitoring, firewall management, OS updates, backups, and a dedicated account manager.
The SLA guarantees 99,95% uptime. 24/7 tech support via live chat, email, phone (USA, UK, Israel), and ticketing. 30-day free trial with $100 credit for full testing.
Kamatera targets developers, startups, and enterprise companies. With pricing that’s significantly more affordable than AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure, Kamatera is a flexible, high-performance alternative for enterprise cloud computing.

Customer Reviews
Solid choice
Would rate five but my email delivery had some hiccups early on. Resolved after a ticket but worth mentioning.
Great experience so far. Set up took maybe twenty minutes including DNS changes. Would recommend to anyone running a blog or portfolio site.
Small business friendly
Good host for the tech-friendly. Less experienced users might find the panel intimidating.
Cancellation process is deliberately obscure... Took four separate tickets to get my account closed. Worst hosting experience I have had in a decade. Site went down for nearly two days and support kept telling me it was being looked into.
Great host
clean interface, honest pricing, support that actually reads your ticket before replying. nothing more to ask for. our agency moved a client site here and the speed jump was obvious within a week. weve since migrated four more clients over.
Quick support
Renewed for another year without hesitation. The control panel feels modern and I actually understand what every button does. Setup wizard is genuinely helpful. It asked the right questions and set up sensible defaults.
Pleasantly surprised
Caching is handled at the server level so I removed a plugin and my site got faster. Small win but a win.
solid host for the price... I run a small e-commerce shop and checkout speed noticeably improved after I switched. Customer for 29 months, would renew without thinking. Everything simply works.
Solid choice
running a Laravel app and havent had to touch the server config once. That is exactly what I was paying for.
