High-performance cloud instances with HA SDS or ultra-fast ephemeral storage, dedicated resources, and live migration.
Four types optimized for different workloads
Shared CPU
Burstable performance. 20-50% baseline, burst to 100% when available.
Dev, staging, CI/CD, low-traffic sites
From €0.66/moPinned Cores
Dedicated physical cores. No overcommit, no steal, 100% guaranteed.
Production apps, databases, APIs
From €7.30/moHigh CPU:RAM Ratio
More cores, less memory per core. For compute-heavy workloads that don't need much RAM.
Batch processing, encoding, CI/CD builds
From €12.00/moHigh RAM Ratio
Up to 8 GB RAM per vCPU. For memory-intensive workloads.
In-memory DBs, caching, analytics
From €24.00/moQuick guide based on your workload type
Side projects, learning, experiments where cost matters most.
Development environments, CI/CD, pre-prod testing.
Real users, real traffic. Consistent performance is critical.
Compute-heavy tasks, batch processing, or latency-sensitive.
Not sure? Start with burst for flexibility. Upgrade to dedicated when you need consistent performance. See full recommendations →
Choose the underlying hardware for your instance
Previous generation hardware at lower prices. Good for non-critical workloads.
20% cheaper than Standard
Current generation balanced hardware. Default for all instance types.
Base pricing
Latest generation with highest clock speeds. For latency-sensitive workloads.
+30% over Standard
Clear stages, predictable timing
Request accepted. VM scheduled for creation.
~267msDisk allocated. Image copied. QEMU process started. VM running.
~2.9sDHCP lease acquired. SSH port responding. Ready to connect.
~8.6sTotal time from API call to SSH-ready: under 12 seconds.
Know exactly what you're getting
Burstable CPU with predictable throttling. You always start at 100%, then throttle down under sustained load.

Perfect for: Bursty workloads, CI/CD jobs, dev environments, cron tasks, websites with traffic spikes.
Pinned physical cores. No sharing, no throttling, no surprises.

Always: 100% ████████████████████ 2 real cores
24/7: 100% ████████████████████ no throttling
Forever: 100% ████████████████████ guaranteed
Perfect for: Production databases, API servers, anything latency-sensitive, sustained workloads.
No fighting for CPU with 50 other tenants on the same core
Your performance doesn't depend on what others are running
Every spec is a guarantee, not "up to" or "burst"
Burst rules are documented. Dedicated means dedicated.
Switch instance type and hardware class without reboot using hot-plug.
Expand disk size and change storage class on the fly, no downtime.
Zero-downtime maintenance with automatic live migration between hosts.
Configurable backup policies with different replication and retention options.
Access your instance via SSH or browser-based VNC console.
Public IPv4 address included. Native IPv6 support available.
Attach to multiple networks, flexible firewall rules, private subnets.
Hot-plug additional volumes on the fly. Move disks between instances.
Automatic instance restart on another host if hardware fails.
Stateful firewall rules. Define allowed traffic per port and protocol.
Choose network class from 100 Mbit to 10 Gbit with included traffic.
Choose from popular Linux distributions or upload your own ISO
Everything you can do in the UI, you can do from the terminal
