Choose how the processor is shared

Every class ships the same hardware menu and the same Ubuntu Server 24.04 (LTS) 64-bit image. What changes is how the processor is shared — and the price moves with it.

Availability

Budget friendly

Workable for a small team. Shared processor time shows up as lag once concurrent conversations climb.

Dedicated

High performance

Dedicated cores for large concurrent loads, where a neighbour’s spike would otherwise be felt as delay.

Hourly only

Burstable

Not for messaging

Throttles under sustained load, and a messaging server is sustained load by definition.


$0.3037USD

per hour — booked for a window, not subscribed

Book by the hour

Memory and cores can be raised on the same server without a rebuild — usually within the hour.

A socket is not a page view

Most hosting is sized for requests that arrive, get answered and end. Messaging is the opposite: every participant holds a connection open for as long as they are present, and the server pays for it the entire time. That changes what to buy.

Memory is the ceiling, not cores

Each open connection costs memory whether or not anyone is typing. Concurrency is usually a memory question first and a processor question second.

Steady beats fast

A burst of speed does not help a connection that has to stay responsive for hours. Consistent processor time does, which is why the shared-burst class is the wrong one here.

Latency is felt per keystroke

A page load absorbs a slow round trip once. A live conversation exposes it continuously, which is why the region you pick matters more here than almost anywhere else.

Where your server runs

All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server. Choose the region closest to the people holding the conversations. Messaging keeps a connection open, so latency is felt on every keystroke rather than once per page.

Chat Software VPS in Fitchburg — FAQs

Why does location matter more for messaging?
A messaging server holds a connection open rather than answering one request and closing it, so the round trip is felt on every keystroke instead of once per page load. New York is 277 km from Fitchburg, an estimated 4–8 ms.
How many conversations can it hold at once?
That depends on your stack and what each connection is doing, and we would rather not quote a figure we have not benchmarked on this hardware — it is the easiest number on the page for you to disprove. Tell us your framework and expected concurrency and we will size it with you.
Which hardware class should I choose?
General purpose for almost every deployment: long-lived connections need steady processor time more than peak speed. Dedicated once concurrency is high enough that a neighbour’s spike would be felt as lag. Not Burstable — it throttles under exactly the sustained load a chat server always has.
Do you allow WebSockets and custom ports?
Yes. It is your server with root access, so any port range and any protocol you need, and nothing in front of it terminating connections you did not ask us to terminate.
How much does it cost in Fitchburg?
From $136.35 USD per month, with $147.35 USD on General purpose the usual starting point. The same prices apply in all 24 locations.
