Product Ecosystem
Cheap VPS
The budget entry line, NVMe storage on KVM, deployed within 30-60 seconds of ordering — suited to personal blogs, small sites, and test environments.
High-Performance VPS
A production-tier line on AMD EPYC with NVMe RAID-10 and 180K+ mixed IOPS for databases, APIs, and high-traffic apps; see the cloud server configuration guide.
Ryzen VPS
AMD Ryzen 9 high-clock models (up to 5.7GHz) with DDR5 and NVMe Gen4, ideal for single-core-sensitive game servers, compilation, and compute workloads.
Dedicated Servers & GPU
Instant-delivery, custom-build, and GPU models on self-purchased hardware with IPMI and a 14-day refund, for workloads needing bare-metal exclusivity and high bandwidth.
Network & Value-Added Services
The self-built AS203380 backbone, IP transit, Proxmox Cloud, colocation, and optional DDoS scrubbing can pair with CDN acceleration for high-throughput distribution.
Limitations
- Basic entry-tier hardware: Cheap plans have limited CPU and RAM; high performance requires the High-Performance or Ryzen tiers.
- No Asia nodes: Data centers are concentrated in Europe and the US, so direct latency from mainland China is high and needs CDN acceleration or local nodes.
- Ticket-based support: Despite advertised minute-level responses, real-time live support is limited and incidents rely on ticket handling.
- Average console automation: The in-house panel covers reinstall, snapshots, rescue, and IPMI, but APIs and third-party ecosystem are less rich than major cloud vendors.
Use Cases
- Budget-sensitive projects (★★★★★): VPS from €1.67/month plus a 14-day refund keeps costs controlled; see the cheap VPS recommendation.
- European deployments (★★★★★): Sofia, Nuremberg, and London nodes offer low latency with GDPR-native compliance.
- High-bandwidth/high-throughput apps (★★★★): A 1 Tbit/s backbone with up to 10G ports suits distribution and download workloads.
- Dedicated servers/bare metal (★★★★): Self-owned hardware with IPMI suits databases and high-concurrency production; see VPS vs dedicated servers.
- Sites serving Asian users (★★): No Asia nodes, so direct latency is high and needs CDN optimization.
