How to pick a budget tier

  • Start with the lowest tier that still gives enough options to compare.
  • For stateful apps, prioritize RAM headroom and storage type (SSD/NVMe) over raw vCPU count.
  • If network policy matters, check refund notes, egress limits, and route tags.

Use cases FAQ

How should I use these use-case pages?
Pick the workload that matches your constraints, then start with a budget tier that has enough options. If you have strict requirements (region, IPv6, payment methods, benchmarks), jump into VPS Finder.
Are these pages “best overall” recommendations?
They are shortlists generated from consistent scoring and filters. Always validate with your real workload (benchmarks, latency tests, and storage tests).
Why do some use cases show fewer plans?
Some use cases apply extra constraints (like IPv6, measured latency, NVMe tags, or unmetered egress tags). The tighter the constraints, the smaller the shortlist.
