Your Web3 Server Provider Platform

StereumPlus is our premium Web3 hosting platform designed specifically for running Ethereum nodes and other blockchain infrastructure. It offers root VPS access on high-performance enterprise grade servers—giving users full control to deploy, manage, and monitor their own Ethereum clients or any other application.

StereumPlus is fully compatible with the open-source Stereum Ethereum node setup tool, making it ideal for solo stakers, developers, and advanced users who want a flexible, secure, and customizable environment.

Whether you're spinning up an Erigon archive node, running a Lighthouse validator, or just need a robust, GDPR-compliant server to experiment with Web3 tools—StereumPlus gives you the power and freedom to build without limits.

StereumPlus is designed with a strong focus on security, giving users the confidence to run Ethereum nodes and other Web3 infrastructure in a safe and reliable environment. All servers come with full root access, but users are in complete control—there are no shared environments or hidden access points. The VPS images we provide are pre-hardened following best practices, including minimal default services to reduce potential vulnerabilities.

As a Stereum-compatible platform, StereumPlus allows users to leverage the Stereum toolset to manage their nodes securely, including automated updates and configuration checks that help avoid common mistakes. Both Stereum and StereumPlus have undergone internal and external audits to verify their security posture and operational integrity. The infrastructure behind StereumPlus is hosted in certified data centers with robust physical and network-level protections, forming a comprehensive security foundation for your Web3 projects.

StereumPlus is fully compatible with Stereum, the open-source Ethereum node management tool, allowing users to deploy and manage their nodes more easily through a guided interface. If you choose to use Stereum, you can take advantage of automated setup, secure configuration, monitoring tools, and client updates—making it ideal for users who want a streamlined experience without compromising control.

However, using Stereum is entirely optional. StereumPlus gives you full root access to your VPS, so you're free to install any Ethereum client or software stack you prefer—or even use the server for other purposes altogether. Whether you're a power user scripting your own setup or someone looking for the convenience of Stereum, StereumPlus supports your workflow without locking you in.

A self-sovereign server means that you, and only you, are in control of your server—no shared access, no third-party management, and no hidden processes running in the background. With StereumPlus, this translates to full root access, complete freedom to install or remove any software, and the ability to configure your system exactly how you want it.

StereumPlus empowers you with the freedom and control typically associated with self-hosting. You get full root access to your own private server, allowing you to install, configure, and manage your infrastructure exactly as you need. This means you can run Ethereum nodes, other blockchain services, or any software of your choice—without relying on third-party layers or limited dashboards. It's about giving you the tools to operate independently, while still benefiting from the reliability and performance of professionally managed infrastructure.

StereumPlus is designed to scale with your needs—whether you're running a single Ethereum validator or expanding into a multi-node staking operation. Our platform supports high-performance VPS instances with full root access, allowing you to deploy multiple nodes, customize each environment, and scale horizontally as your validator count grows.

We also support modern staking technologies like Distributed Validator Technology (DVT), enabling you to run fault-tolerant, collaborative validator setups across multiple servers. This makes it easier to increase uptime, share responsibilities across operators, and build resilient staking architectures. Combined with compatibility with the Stereum toolset, which simplifies node deployment and monitoring, StereumPlus gives you everything you need to expand efficiently and securely—without locking you into proprietary systems.

With StereumPlus, you're free to grow your staking operation on your own terms, backed by reliable infrastructure and complete control.

StereumPlus gives you full root access to a clean, high-performance VPS—so you're free to run virtually anything that fits within your plan's resources and complies with our terms of service.

Most users deploy Ethereum-related infrastructure, such as execution clients (like Geth, Nethermind, Besu, or Erigon), consensus clients (like Lighthouse, Prysm, or Teku), and even full validator setups. You can also run Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) clusters, beacon chain explorers, RPC/WebSocket endpoints, or use the server for development, testing, or research.

Beyond Ethereum, you're welcome to install other blockchain nodes (e.g., Gnosis, Polygon, Bitcoin), monitoring tools like Prometheus + Grafana, or even general-purpose applications like CI/CD runners and Docker-based workloads.

In short, StereumPlus gives you the flexibility of a dedicated Linux server—optimized for Web3, but open to your imagination.

StereumPlus supports all major Ethereum execution and consensus clients, giving you full flexibility to build the staking or node infrastructure that fits your strategy.

Because StereumPlus gives you full root access, you're free to install any client, version, or configuration you prefer. This makes it easy to run multi-client setups, test different implementations, or comply with Ethereum's client diversity best practices.

And if you choose to use Stereum, our compatible open-source tool, you can automate much of the setup, syncing, and monitoring process—no manual terminal work required.

Yes — with StereumPlus, you can run both full nodes and archive nodes, depending on the VPS plan you choose.

A full node verifies and stores the complete Ethereum blockchain (excluding historical state), and is sufficient for staking, RPC usage, and most infrastructure needs. These are fully supported on our standard VPS plans.

An archive node, on the other hand, stores all historical states and is primarily used for indexing, data analysis, and some dApp use cases. Because archive nodes (especially with Erigon or Geth) require significantly more storage and higher I/O performance, we recommend contacting us for a custom plan tailored to that workload. Our infrastructure uses 100% NVMe storage, making it suitable for high-throughput blockchain operations.

Whether you're running a validator, powering a dApp backend, or building advanced analytics tools, StereumPlus gives you the flexibility and performance to support your setup.

Yes — StereumPlus fully supports MEV-Boost configurations and custom builder setups. With full root access and no restrictions on the Ethereum clients or services you install, you can easily integrate tools like:

Our infrastructure provides the network performance, CPU stability, and NVMe speed required for reliable block proposal and relay communication—key factors in minimizing missed opportunities and ensuring optimal rewards.

Whether you're experimenting with MEV strategies or operating a production-grade validator with relay fallback logic, StereumPlus provides the technical foundation to support your goals.

Setting up MEV-Boost on StereumPlus is fully supported and depends on whether you're using the Stereum management tool or configuring everything manually.

If you're using Stereum, MEV-Boost integration is available directly through its interface. During setup, you can enable MEV support, select your preferred relays (such as Flashbots, bloXroute, or Ultra Sound), and let Stereum handle the configuration for you. It will automatically download the MEV-Boost binary and link it to your consensus client, making the process fast and user-friendly.

If you prefer a manual setup, StereumPlus gives you full root access to configure MEV-Boost independently. In this case, we recommend following the official documentation of your chosen consensus client (e.g. Lighthouse, Prysm, Teku, or Nimbus) for specific instructions on integrating MEV-Boost. You'll typically need to download the MEV-Boost binary, configure the appropriate flags, and specify your relay endpoints during client launch.

With StereumPlus, you have the flexibility and infrastructure to support both streamlined and advanced MEV configurations.

Yes, you can absolutely use StereumPlus without Stereum.

StereumPlus is a general-purpose root VPS platform designed for Web3 workloads, and while it is fully compatible with the Stereum node management tool, its use is entirely optional. You have full root access to your server, which means you're free to install, configure, and run any software you choose—whether that's Ethereum clients, other blockchain nodes, or unrelated services.

If you're comfortable working via SSH and managing your own infrastructure, you can set up everything manually, using the exact versions, configurations, and tools you prefer. Stereum is available as a convenience layer—not a requirement.

In short, StereumPlus gives you the freedom to work your way, with or without automation.

Yes, with StereumPlus you can expose both RPC and WebSocket endpoints of your Ethereum node to other users, applications, or services—either publicly or privately.

Because you have full root access, you can configure your execution client (such as Geth, Nethermind, Erigon, etc.) to listen on external interfaces and expose the exact APIs and interfaces you need. This includes standard HTTP RPC as well as WebSocket (WS) endpoints, which are essential for real-time data streaming, event subscriptions, and many dApps.

This flexibility makes it easy to set up a private or shared access point for your infrastructure—whether you're connecting your own dApps, offering access to partners, or building internal tools.

Keep in mind that exposing endpoints to the internet requires secure configuration. We strongly recommend using firewalls, authentication mechanisms (like JWT or basic auth via NGINX), or a VPN to control access and prevent misuse.

StereumPlus gives you the network bandwidth, static IPv4 address, and control needed to safely and efficiently host RPC and WebSocket services from your node.

StereumPlus supports a variety of convenient payment methods to make subscribing as easy as possible. We currently accept:
