GETTING STARTED

Choose the right VPS resources

Match vCPU, RAM, NVMe storage and transfer to your application, then leave room for normal peaks.

1Start with the workload

Choose Linux for terminal-based applications, websites, APIs, development environments and software that supports your selected distribution. Choose Windows RDP for a graphical remote desktop or an application that requires Windows Server.

2Size memory before adding CPU

RAM holds the operating system, active applications and caches. Several browser sessions, a database and an application worker can compete for the same memory. Start with the requirements of your software and allow room for its normal concurrent workload. The VPSDZ catalogue shows allocated RAM for each plan; check measured usage in your client area after deployment.

3Understand virtual CPU allocation

A vCPU is a virtual processor assigned to your server. More vCPUs help when your software can perform work in parallel. A single-threaded task may not become faster simply because a plan has more vCPUs. VPS plans do not include dedicated physical CPU cores, a dedicated host or a GPU.

4Separate capacity from storage speed

NVMe describes the storage technology; the plan capacity is the space available for the system and your data. Include operating-system files, application data, databases and expected growth when estimating capacity. Keep independent copies of important data rather than filling the disk with your only backups.

5Check transfer and port speed separately

The network port is the maximum connection speed offered by the plan. The monthly transfer allowance is the quantity of data included over the billing period. These are different limits. A 1 Gbps connection does not mean unlimited monthly transfer, and application throughput depends on the destination, protocol and workload.

6Review the full prepaid amount

Monthly, quarterly and annual terms change the amount due today. The catalogue displays the monthly equivalent alongside the full prepaid total. Quarterly terms receive 10% off and annual terms receive 20% off. Choose the term you want to fund before creating your crypto invoice.
