Common jobs for a VPS, and the tier that fits.
All of these workloads are running from the same KVM root access platform. The numbers listed on the cards are a starting point not a limit that can be increased.
Websites and web apps
Host WordPress, a static site, or a Node, Python or PHP app with your own stack and TLS.
Start on StandardDatabases
Run PostgreSQL or MySQL on the few cores pinned to run locally off fast storage on NVMe. We measured 7,364 TPS on pgbench.
Best on Dedicated coresAPIs and microservices
Run your app on our low-latency API services and background workers running on dedicated CPUs.
Best on Dedicated coresIn-memory and caching
Run Redis, Memcached or analytics with high memory ratio and store them in RAM.
Best on High-MemoryGame servers
Host Minecraft, source-engine and similar game servers with low latency in AMS or NYC.
Standard or DedicatedVPN for your own use
WireGuard or OpenVPN for private and lawful access to your networks instead.
Start on StandardSelf-hosted apps
Own your data with Nextcloud, a Git server, a wiki or self-hosted monitoring.
Start on StandardDev, staging and CI
Setup the environments, create the runners and then reinstall from scratch.
Standard or DedicatedAnalytics and batch jobs
Crunch datasets, run scheduled jobs and pipelines on memory-rich, NVMe-backed servers.
Best on High-MemoryPick the tier that fits the shape of the job.
All three Tiers are provisioned from the exact same KVM/NVMe RAID10 hardware platform in both the US and Europe at identical price points, just provisioned out in different forms of resources.
Balanced
EPYC Milan, DDR4 ECC- Websites and web apps
- Self-hosted apps
- VPN, staging, small services
- Best price-to-performance
No contention
EPYC Genoa, DDR5 ECC- Databases and APIs
- CI and build runners
- Latency-sensitive production
- Pinned vCPU, no neighbors
Memory-rich
Up to 1:8 vCPU:RAM- In-memory caches
- Analytics and batch jobs
- Large datasets, JVM apps
- Memory-bound workloads
Performance you can plan around.
The numbers are all roughly the same order of magnitude, so it's always clear what one is comparing. The numbers are the median of 5 runs for each test. You can re-run all the tests from a single command file with the full data open.

Each guide covers sizing, a step-by-step setup on Ubuntu 24.04 or Debian 13, the pitfalls we see in support, and the questions people ask before they order.

Use-case questions, answered.
Can I host a website on a VPS?
VPS hosting is best for websites and web applications. A VPS provides root access, so you can install and configure your own web server, application runtime and TLS certificates. We support from 1 WordPress installation up to multiple applications.
Which tier is best for a database?
For Databases we have seen the best performance in our Dedicated-core plans, pinning the vCPU to prevent competition with other VMs. With NVMe RAID10 for storage we've published a pgbench run of 7,364 tps for you to review.
Can I run a game server?
Our Standard or Dedicated-core servers are perfectly able to host your Game server. Our datacenter locations Amsterdam and New York have low latency for your players.
Can I run a VPN?
Yes, for your own private and lawful use. A small Standard plan is plenty to run WireGuard or OpenVPN for secure access to your own networks.
What about memory-heavy workloads?
For in-memory caches, analytics and big data the Tier High-Memory can grant a 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio to satisfy memory-bound workloads.
Can one VPS run several of these at once?
Yes. With full root access you can put a few services on one VPS and then move the more resource intensive ones to their own servers or move them up to the next higher tier servers as needed.
