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
Fine for a catalogue that sells steadily. Shared processor time makes it the wrong place for a flash sale.
$136.35USD
per month
ConfigureGeneral purpose
The usual choice
Consistent processor time for checkout, without paying for a dedicated core you rarely saturate.
$147.35USD
per month
ConfigureDedicated
High performance
Cores that never contend with a neighbour. Worth it once checkout slowdowns start costing more than the server.
$158.35USD
per month
ConfigureBurstable
Not for storefronts
Trades sustained speed for cheap idle time, and throttles exactly when a sale sends traffic up.
$0.3037USD
per hour — booked for a window, not subscribed
Book by the hourBlack 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.
Chicago has a data centre of its own. Every marker costs the same per month.
