What’s included with Virtual Private Servers (VPS)?
VPS provide the flexibility that many companies have been looking for, and they’re able to do so at a great price.
Premium CPU choices
Select between AMD Ryzen offers the highest single core clock rates. AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon with high core counts. You can’t go wrong with either choice!
RAID-10 NVMe Storage
All compute resources have local NVMe storage. Local node storage provides the fast raw disk read/write speeds. NVMe can deliver up to 3.5 GB/s in contrast SSDs can only deliver 600MB/s per drive.
Optional Weekly Backups
Your data is protected by raid-10 on each node. Raid-10 provides the best speed and protection. Don’t forget to add 500G of weekly full images backups a checkout!
Choice of Operating System

VPS FAQs
Virtual Private Servers, or VPS, present an efficient server solution designed to optimize costs and enhance efficiency for businesses of various scales. Oplink.net VPS offers the same exceptional network and DDoS protection as our data center but at a more economical price point.
Our VPS are hosted within our state-of-the-art data center, liberating companies from the complexities and expenses of managing their own server rooms. The resources of the VPS are strategically allocated among different teams or companies, allowing them to fully utilize the capabilities of the compute resource or node server.
Leveraging advanced KVM virtualization technology, each node server is divided into multiple virtual machines. Each machine is fully equipped to operate its own independent operating system with complete root or admin access, ensuring autonomy and flexibility.
The result is a server solution that empowers businesses to enjoy significantly lower monthly costs, eliminating the financial burden of hardware and setup expenses. Oplink.net VPS is an ideal choice for businesses seeking a balance of performance, security, and cost-effectiveness.
For a deeper understanding of VPS, we invite you to explore these informative articles we’ve curated from trusted online sources. They provide valuable insights and detailed perspectives on VPS technology.

Yes, you can upgrade to any higher plan any time to give you more resources.
We also recommend you check out Virtual Dedicated Servers or Dedicated Servers if you want more resources and customization.
NVMe is the latest storage technology, it’s all the fastest. NVMe drives can usually deliver a sustained read-write speed of 3.5 GB/s in contrast with SATA SSDs that limit at 600 MB/s. If you want the fastest pick NVMe, if you need more storage space SSD maybe your better option.
The main factors that separate VDS, VPS, and Dedicated Servers are setup and administration. With a dedicated server, you (as the owner) manage all facets of the machine’s administration – from its core configuration to the data hosted, you maintain all control and responsibility down to the bios/ipmi if you choose to. On VDS, we manage the core configuration at the bare metal level. Each VDS nodes runs a tiny Linux OS that allows easy management. This gives you the instant setup and easy to use portal features that come with VPS, but VDS gives you 100% of the resources. Virtual Private Servers mirror VDS, but you share compute resources with other users.
VDS Slices are something new we rolled out in 2026. They are LOW USER RATIO VDS nodes/servers. What this means is you will only share that node with 4 servers. This allow us to give you more resources; vcores, memory, and storage. VDS Slices are basically 1/4 of the full dedicated server hardware without paying the full cost of bare metal!

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.

- For over 16 years the Oplink.net primary datacenter was in Houston’s Level3 facility. In the summer of 2021 we moved out of Level3 and into TRG Datacenters in Spring, TX.
Power Design
Dual backup power generators are located inside the building, enclosed and protected from weather. During Winter Storm Uri, a spare fuel truck was on-site, and technical staff were on duty around the clock to monitor and maintain generator performance. The datacenter remained on generator power for several days after power was restored to ensure any additional ERCOT power grid failures had no effect on clients. As a result, there was no downtime.
