Who is VPS for?

VPS fits VPN, bots, small web apps, staging and projects where cost matters more than guaranteed CPU isolation. For production databases under load, a root server is usually the better choice.

VPS vs root server

VPS shares physical cores via KVM; root servers guarantee dedicated threads. In our runs, root server CPU steal is 0.0%, while VPS can fluctuate under neighbour load. VPS 1000 is a good entry point; RS 1000 costs more but delivers predictable performance.

VPS Lite and ARM

VPS Lite (pico/nano) and VPS ARM are especially cheap but not eligible for every voucher. Check the product page and cart before ordering. For ARM workloads, VPS 1000 ARM G12.5 is the matching choice.

Frequently asked questions

Which VPS for WireGuard?

VPS 500 or VPS 1000 is enough for a private WireGuard VPN with several devices. The 2.5 Gbit/s port helps with high throughput.

Can I run Docker on a VPS?

Yes. Docker runs normally on VPS. For many containers and CI/CD, a root server with dedicated cores is better suited.

Are VPS Lite and ARM voucher-eligible?

Under the official terms, VPS ARM and VPS Lite are excluded from vouchers. Check the code in the cart; the €5 fallback may not apply either.
