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
Reasonable for internal tools and staging where a slow minute costs nothing.
$276.75USD
per month
ConfigureGeneral purpose
The usual choice
Predictable processor time for the application and its database side by side.
$287.75USD
per month
ConfigureDedicated
High performance
Dedicated cores for build servers, background jobs and anything with a queue that must not fall behind.
$298.75USD
per month
ConfigureBurstable
Development only
Only for development boxes. Throttles under sustained load, so it is a poor fit for anything customer-facing.
$0.5729USD
per hour — booked for a window, not subscribed
Book by the hourRaise memory, cores or disk on the same server as you grow — by hand, usually within the hour, without a migration.
What the number means
We publish 99.98% across a trailing 90 days. That is a measurement of what happened, not a contractual guarantee — and it is the same figure on our homepage, from one place, so it cannot say something different depending on which page you land on.
A window, not a promise
An uptime figure without a window is meaningless. Ours is stated over a trailing 90 days and moves as the window does.
Backed up regardless
Availability and durability are different problems. Daily off-server backups mean a bad day is a restore rather than a loss.
Built by a person
Every server is assembled and checked by hand before handover, which is slower than a provisioning script and catches things a script does not.
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 customers using the product day to day, or to the database it talks to if that lives elsewhere.
