Strengths & Use Cases
- Epyc VPS 4: Strong for moderate workloads – web applications, small to medium databases, or multiple lower-traffic sites.
- Epyc VPS 5: Gives a serious boost:
- 8 vCPUs = more parallel processing power.
- 24 GB RAM supports more memory-hungry applications or caching.
- 600 GB NVMe gives more space for data, logs, or apps.
Recommendation
- Stick with VPS 4 if you’re cost-sensitive and your workloads are moderate.
- Choose VPS 5 if you want more longevity or are running apps that benefit from higher memory or CPU.
Additional Information
- Beyond base plans, you can also add extra vCPUs, RAM, or NVMe storage over time.
- If you’re running Windows Server or other licensed software, ensure you account for licensing in your total cost.
- Use the extra RAM on VPS 5 for caching (e.g., Redis), in-memory data stores, or to host more concurrent users.
- With the increase in resources, it’s good practice to set up monitoring (CPU, RAM, disk I/O) so you can optimise usage.
- Both hosting plans include 500 Mbps ports, but if you require more bandwidth, you can upgrade.
