Our verdict
Evolution Host is a business-focused VPN priced at €5 a month, running OpenVPN and WireGuard for teams and solo operators. It suits small businesses that want a low-cost encrypted tunnel from a long-standing host provider, and less suitable for readers who need broad country coverage.

- Protocol choice includes OpenVPN and WireGuard through OpenVPN and WireGuard.
- Contracts run with Evolution Host Ltd, registered in Ireland.
- A long-standing operator, in business since 2013.
Cons

- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone option listed.
- Monthly price ranks 47 of 133 on the site, so the fee sits mid-field rather than standing out.
Who it suits

- Anyone who puts a help centre and live chat above phone support, since support runs on email, chat and help centre.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Evolution Host cost each month?+
The published monthly price is €5, which sits under the VPN median of €7.02. That keeps entry cost among the lower ones on the site, though the rank on monthly price is 47 of 133.
How many server countries can I reach?+
Evolution Host lists 5 server countries, well below the VPN median of 46.5. On the site its country count ranks 57 of 62, so the network is one of the smaller ones here.
Which protocols does it support?+
Both OpenVPN and WireGuard are supported, listed together under OpenVPN and WireGuard. OpenVPN covers older setups and manual config files, while WireGuard is the lighter choice for phones, laptops and small servers. Having both on one plan keeps mixed device fleets covered.
How do I get help from support?+
Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so there is no phone line for urgent outages. Email suits detailed tickets, chat handles quick questions, and the help centre covers routine setup on your own.
Who runs the service and which jurisdiction applies?+
Contracts are with Evolution Host Ltd, registered in Ireland and trading since 2013. Irish jurisdiction places the terms under Irish contract law, which is worth reading before a business signs up.
Is it aimed at businesses or home users?+
It is listed for business, so the service is built around business use. Teams wanting a single tunnel across work devices fit that positioning, while anyone shopping for a consumer service built for streaming may find the scope narrow.
How does the price compare with cheaper picks?+
Apple Inc. lists $0.99 and Sinew Software Systems lists $1.99, both under Evolution Host's €5. Paying more here buys the business framing and the host provider behind the service rather than a lower number.
