Strengths & Use Cases
- Epyc VPS 3: Ideal for smaller applications, development or test servers, low-to-medium traffic websites, or businesses starting out. The 4 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM provide a good baseline at a lower cost.
- Epyc VPS 4: Better suited for heavier workloads, moderate web applications, databases, or production environments where more RAM and CPU are necessary. With 6 vCPU and 16 GB RAM, you get significantly more computing power and double the NVMe storage.
Considerations
- If your usage grows over time, upgrading from VPS 3 to 4 is relatively simple with Domains.co.za.
- Both plans include full admin access, monthly backups, and a 99.9% uptime guarantee.
- Since storage is NVMe (very fast), even the 200 GB on VPS 3 will perform well for many use cases.
Recommendation
- Choose VPS 3 for cost-efficiency and lightweight usage.
- Choose VPS 4 for more demanding applications or if you expect medium-term growth.
