VPS Description:
Overview: This VPS in Frankfurt runs on KVM virtualization; it provides Linux and Windows templates. The system has 4 shared Xeon SP Gold cores, 8 GB RAM, and 240 GB NVMe storage, with 50 TB of monthly bandwidth @ 1 Gbps. IPv4 and IPv6 are available and rDNS is enabled. Upgrades are possible via the VPS control panel even after purchase, with up to 3 additional 10 TB virtual disks attachable.
Use Cases: Suitable for Docker container orchestration and microservices, this VPS can run scalable API backends and caching nodes like memcached or Redis. It can host small-scale database workloads and serve dynamic web pages from moderately-heavy CMSs like WordPress, and the open port 25 allows outbound emails.
Critical Considerations: The shared CPUs may result in poor performance under load. The base allocation of 240 GB NVMe storage fits moderate workloads; however, applications with a higher storage need may require the additional virtual disks not included in the base price.
