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.

Steady traffic only

Availability

Budget friendly

Fine for a catalogue that sells steadily. Shared processor time makes it the wrong place for a flash sale.

General purpose

The usual choice

Consistent processor time for checkout, without paying for a dedicated core you rarely saturate.

Dedicated

High performance

Cores that never contend with a neighbour. Worth it once checkout slowdowns start costing more than the server.

Hourly only

Burstable

Not for storefronts

Trades sustained speed for cheap idle time, and throttles exactly when a sale sends traffic up.

per hour — booked for a window, not subscribed

Book by the hour

Black Friday: memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, and we make the change by hand — usually within the hour. Scale back down once the sale is over.

Built for the week that matters

Black Friday: memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, and we make the change by hand — usually within the hour. Scale back down once the sale is over.

Scale up for the sale, back down after

Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server, by hand, usually within the hour — then scaled back once the sale is over. No rebuild, no migration, no new IP, and nothing for you to reconfigure afterwards.

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 where most of your customers check out. Checkout is the slowest step in a store and the one shoppers abandon first, so the round trip that matters is theirs, not yours.

Ecommerce VPS in Ankeny — FAQs

Should I host near Ankeny or near my customers?

Near your customers. Checkout is where latency turns into abandoned carts, and that round trip belongs to the shopper. Chicago is closest to Ankeny, but if most orders come from elsewhere, host elsewhere — the price is identical.

Will it hold up on Black Friday?

Memory, cores and disk go up on the same server, by hand, usually within the hour, and back down afterwards. No rebuild and no IP change. Tell us the date in advance and we will have it ready before traffic arrives.

Which hardware class should a store use?

General purpose for almost every storefront. Dedicated once a slow checkout costs more than the price difference. Availability only for a catalogue that sells steadily and never spikes — and Burstable not at all, since it throttles exactly when a sale lands.

Is it PCI compliant?

We provide a PCI-ready configuration on request — hardening, patching and isolation. Compliance itself depends on how your store handles card data, so it is a shared responsibility rather than something a server can grant on its own.

How much does ecommerce hosting cost in Ankeny?

From $136.35 USD per month, though $147.35 USD on General purpose is the sensible starting point for a live storefront. The same prices apply in all 24 locations.
