A VDS is a cloud machine with its own reserved processor cores. No one borrows them when their traffic spikes, keeping your performance steady. Everything else uses the same platform as our VPS line.
On a shared host, processor time is distributed as requested. This works fine until someone demands a lot of it suddenly.
Your work waits behind theirs. Queries that took milliseconds take seconds, requests pile up, and your code has not changed. This happens during their peak hours, making it difficult to reproduce or plan around.
The cores are allocated solely to your machine and stay allocated whether you use them or not. The performance you measure on a quiet Tuesday remains identical on their busiest Friday. This consistency is exactly why this line costs more than a VPS.

Three things behave differently on a VDS. Everything else runs on the same platform.
Cores are allocated strictly to your machine. They are never handed to a neighbor when idle, which is exactly what you pay for.
Held for your machine on both lines. A VDS simply offers more memory per plan, because workloads requiring reserved cores typically need the memory too.
NVMe storage is exclusively yours on both lines. Add more as a volume when needed; a volume can expand but never shrink.
Every image in the console catalog is written directly to the disk. A rebuild asks you to confirm the hostname, then prints a fresh root password once. We never store it.

CentOS Stream 9A rebuild wipes the disk. Take a snapshot first if you want your data back.
A VDS is unmanaged, just like the VPS line. Here is what we manage, and what you control.
Reserved cores guarantee consistent speed every day, rather than just peak performance.
Everything the console does to a server, the client API does too.
0 data centers across 0 countries. Pick one at checkout, and it stays with the machine.
The processor. A VPS shares the host's cores with its neighbors, while a VDS reserves cores exclusively for your machine. Memory and disk are dedicated to you on both lines.
No. A VDS is a cloud machine with reserved cores on a shared host. A dedicated server gives you the entire physical machine, including every core, all memory, and all disks.
When your workload is steady and performance drops are noticeable. Use it for production databases, busy backends, and game or voice servers. For bursty traffic, a VPS remains the better choice.
Yes, from the first boot. The machine is unmanaged. You own the operating system and your software. We own the hardware, the network, and the console.
Any image in the console catalog for your data center. You can rebuild onto a different image anytime.
The disk is wiped, and your chosen image is written to it. The console asks you to confirm the hostname, then prints a new root password once. We do not keep a copy, so write it down.
Not from the console. Order the size you want, restore a snapshot onto it, and destroy the old machine. Extra disk space can be added separately as a volume.
As an attached volume, which the machine sees as a block device. A volume can expand but never shrink, so start small.
In any data center listed on this page. You choose at checkout, and the location is fixed to your machine.
Not directly. Take a snapshot, start a machine in the new data center, restore the snapshot onto it, then destroy the old server. Support can help you plan the move.
No. Automatic backups are an optional add-on. Until enabled, the console states no copies exist. Snapshots are separate, manual, and highly recommended before risky changes.
Yes, running outside the operating system. Rules apply even while the machine reboots or rebuilds. You maintain one rule set per machine.
Yes, alongside the dedicated IPv4. You can set the reverse DNS record yourself, which is important if the machine sends email.
Yes. Place them on a private network to keep their traffic off the public internet.
Yes. The client API lets you list servers, view details, power on and off, reboot, rename, take snapshots, and check metrics, firewalls, and networks.
The one selected in the header. We maintain base prices and convert them at current rates. The checkout total is exactly what you pay.
From your account, whenever you like. The machine remains active until the end of the paid period. There are no exit fees.
No. We offer Linux images only.
Choose your size and data center. We build the server and drop you straight into the console with root access.
