Coming soon: NVIDIA Tesla P40, 24 GB VRAM

Run Ollama on a GPU VPS

We are preparing GPU servers with an NVIDIA Tesla P40 (24 GB VRAM, Pascal architecture) for running open-source LLMs such as Llama, Mistral and Gemma with Ollama. GPU servers are not orderable yet; contact us to be notified when they are.

What is Ollama on a GPU VPS?

Ollama is a lightweight tool for running large language models on your own machine. On a GPU server the model runs on the GPU instead of the CPU, which makes responses much faster.

Ollama on a VPS.org GPU server

Open-Source Models

Pull Llama, Mistral, Gemma, Phi, Qwen and many other models with one command.

24 GB VRAM

Fits 7B to 13B models comfortably and around 30B models when quantized. 70B models do not fit on one 24 GB card at common quantization levels.

Private

Prompts and data stay on your server, with no third-party API calls.

OpenAI-Compatible API

Ollama exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint that many existing clients can use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ollama on a GPU VPS?

+

Ollama can use an NVIDIA GPU to speed up its work. VPS.org GPU servers are not available to order yet; contact us to hear when they are. Ollama is primarily an LLM-inference / chat workload. You will want fast random-access reads from disk to memory and enough VRAM for the model plus context window.

How do I set up Ollama on a GPU VPS?

+

GPU servers are not available to order yet. Today you can run Ollama on a regular CPU plan, where it works far more slowly than on a GPU: SSH in and run curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh && ollama run llama3.

How much VRAM do I need for Ollama?

+

LLM inference VRAM scales with model parameters: a 7B model needs roughly 5 to 8 GB of VRAM and a 13B model roughly 10 to 14 GB, while 70B-class models need several GPUs or heavy quantization.

How much would a GPU server for Ollama cost?

+

GPU pricing will be published when GPU servers can be ordered. Contact us if you want to hear when that happens.

Can I run other tools alongside Ollama?

+

Yes. Every VPS.org server comes with full root access, so you can run other tools alongside Ollama within the server's RAM and storage.

Do I get full root on the Ollama GPU VPS?

+

Every VPS.org server comes with full root SSH access, so you can install drivers, libraries and Ollama however you need.

Does VPS.org preinstall CUDA for Ollama?

+

No. No server comes with a CUDA runtime or NVIDIA driver preinstalled, and GPU servers are not available to order yet. You install the versions Ollama needs yourself.

Does my Ollama GPU VPS persist between sessions?

+

Yes. VPS.org servers are persistent virtual machines, not ephemeral instances: Ollama models, configs and data stay on the server's SSD storage until you delete them.

Where should I store data for my Ollama workload?

+

Keep working data on the server's SSD for fast access during Ollama runs, and copy finished artifacts (weights, generations, embeddings) to storage outside VPS.org; snapshots and backups stay on the same storage cluster.

Can I scale my Ollama GPU VPS later?

+

You can upgrade any VPS.org server to a larger plan from the control panel; the resize restarts it and your Ollama install carries over. GPU servers are not available yet.

Are backups available for my GPU VPS?

+

Yes. Backups are a paid add-on (daily +30% of the plan price, kept 7 days; weekly +20%, kept 28 days) and snapshots are free, which is useful before long Ollama runs. Both stay on the same storage cluster as the server.

Can I get a refund?

+

Contact support within 30 days of your first purchase to request a refund. GPU servers are not sold yet, so no GPU order is involved.
