We measure it.
For each provider we compared performance on identical hardware: 2 vCPU, 4 GB of RAM, 60 GB of Dedicated storage for all published runs (5 median runs for Vultr, DigitalOcean and OVH, all published runs for BuyVPS). Full benchmarks and numbers are available on our benchmarks page and detailed methodology below.

Low density by design
Predictable performance starts
Predictable performance starts
with refusing to oversell the node.
Most providers pack as many customers as possible into a server (over-sell) and then rely on all tenants to remain as quiet as possible and not create any additional load. We at BuyVPS first design the node to its physical capabilities and then we sell it for less than 100% and keep the remaining headroom unsold and unpriced for the next quarter.

Same hardware on either side.
It is the same hardware (EPYC + NVMe) in both regions, same control plane and therefore also same pricing for EU and US-East. Therefore you can run one region and then switch to the other region at the panel whenever you like, or you can run both regions with failover.

Simple transparent provisioning. No intermediaries, no hidden layers, no backroom deals. EPYC CPUs with ECC memory. Local NVMe storage. Open source KVM with separate kernels for better stability. Multi-homed uplinks at both ends of the connection.

FAQ
Common questions
How does BuyVPS compare to DigitalOcean, Vultr or OVH?
Results have been compared using the same 2 vCPU / 4 GB / Dedicated CPU VPS plan on BuyVPS, DigitalOcean, Vultr and OVH. Geekbench 6 single-core results for BuyVPS are at 2,000 while OVH reaches 1,521. 4K read IOPS on BuyVPS were at 122,959 while DigitalOcean were at 89,834. Using pgbench, BuyVPS reached 7,364 TPS while DigitalOcean were at 4,360. Wrk results for BuyVPS were at 83,957 requests/s while OVH were at 62,445. All of the above results are five-run medians and were compared in an identical manner to the results found on our benchmarks page where you can also find the full raw results for every provider compared.
How fast can I deploy a VPS?
You can deploy a Linux VPS in less than 30 seconds using our self-service panel or our REST API. Additionally we have an in-browser VNC console set up for you in case you need to access a VPS immediately. We also allow you to upload your own ISO.
Do you use KVM virtualization?
Yes. Every VPS runs on KVM with hardware-assisted virtualisation and its own kernel, so you get full root access. CPU, memory and disk are allocated and isolated per instance at the hypervisor level, with no container-based sharing like OpenVZ or LXC.
What hardware do you use?
Our server hardware consists of single-socket AMD EPYC servers. The Standard and High Memory plans are powered by Milan processors, while the Dedicated CPU plans are powered by Genoa processors. The non-Dedicated plans use DDR4 ECC memory, while the Dedicated plans use DDR5 ECC memory. All servers use NVMe storage in a RAID10 configuration, with storage running on PCIe for optimal performance. The servers also have redundant power and network paths, with network paths routing around individual racks to ensure optimal uptime.
Do you oversell CPU or memory?
No. Usable memory is hard-capped per node as we sell less than the box can physically deliver. Dedicated CPU plans have CPUs pinned 1:1 to cores so there is no time slicing of CPUs on these plans. Also, the headroom on every node is unsold by design.
Where are your data centers?
Our main datacenter locations are Amsterdam (Netherlands, EU) and New York (USA, East Coast). In both locations we use the same server hardware, server management and offer the same low prices for VPS hosting. This means that you can choose a datacenter location closest to your users or even set up failover VPS hosting between EU and US to enhance redundancy and availability.
Can I upgrade or downgrade without migrating?
Upgrades and downgrades are no problem. Simply log into your customer control panel, add the required amount of RAM or vCPU and the upgrade will be done within a few minutes (a reboot is required and usually only takes a few seconds) and you are good to go. All of your data and settings will still be there and your IP addresses will not change. You can also perform upgrades and downgrades through our API.
Is full root access included?
Yes. Full root access to your server is provided on all Linux plans. We include an in-browser VNC console for easy access to your server if required and you can upload your own SSH keys at deploy time.
Which operating systems do you support?
We support by default the following Linux distributions: Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 LTS, Debian 11 / 12, AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 9, CentOS Stream 9, Fedora 39 / 40 and openSUSE Leap / Tumbleweed. You can also upload your own 64-bit Linux distribution as an ISO file. We are a Linux-first company and therefore we primarily focus on the supported distributions.
How does pricing work? Will it go up at renewal?
No, we don't have any one-time fees and you pay the same price for the plan you pick, on monthly, 1-year or 2-year billing. On 2-year plans you save 20% and on 1-year plans you save 15%. You can cancel at any time from your control panel.
