Which VPS/VDS should I choose?

Choosing the right VDS is an important decision to make. Server configuration should be based around core business needs and hosting requirements. In general, the main specs to consider are the following: CPU, Memory and Storage.

  • Option 1: Highest clock rate CPU: When it comes to CPU, a higher CPU clock frequency will naturally deliver faster single core performance. Our highest CPU clock rates and most powerful are the AMD 9950x VPS servers.  This is what makes the most popular market for a reason!  These work for just about anything and excel with everything like game servers, databases, large websites, or and online trading.
  • Option 2: Higher core count: With a higher vcore count will naturally deliver faster multicore performance – this would be necessary if you have lot of traffic, users, or website views.
  • Option 3: High Memory maybe necessary if you need to host larger services or websites that require more disk space.
  • Option 4: High Storage: All of our VPS nodes use mostly NVMe storage, except for standard storage vps which uses 100% SSD.  Both are far more durable, and lightning fast compared to older standard HDDs.
