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.

Raise memory, cores or disk on the same server as you grow — by hand, usually within the hour, without a migration.

What fits alongside what

A product server is rarely running one thing. The application, its database, a cache and a queue all share the same memory, and the split between them decides how far the machine goes before anything has to move.

One machine, one hop

An application and its database on the same server talk over a socket rather than a network. That is faster and cheaper than splitting them, and it is the right starting point for almost every product.

The database sets the floor

Postgres and MySQL want memory they can keep. Give the database its share first and size the rest around it, rather than discovering the shortfall under load.

Split when they compete

The moment the application and the database are fighting for the same memory — or you want to restart one without the other — it is time for a second server. Not before.

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.

IT & SaaS VPS in Detroit — FAQs

Can I run the app and the database on one server?
Yes, and most products should to begin with. One machine means one round trip between the application and its database instead of a network hop, and it is markedly cheaper. The diagram above shows a typical split of memory between them.
When should I split onto a second server?
When the database and the application start competing for the same memory, or when you want to restart one without the other. That is a judgement about your product rather than a fixed threshold, and we are happy to look at it with you.
Which hardware class should I choose?
General purpose for anything with real users. Dedicated for build servers and queues that must not fall behind. Availability for internal tools and staging. Burstable only for development boxes.
How fast will it feel from Detroit?
An estimated 5–10 ms to Toronto, our closest location at 332 km. That is calculated from fibre distance rather than measured — and what matters more is the round trip your own customers make, so host near them if they are elsewhere.
How much does it cost in Detroit?
From $276.75 USD per month, with $287.75 USD on General purpose the usual starting point for a product with customers. The same prices apply in all 24 locations.
