VPS Description:
Overview: This Layer7 VPS in Frankfurt, Germany, operates on KVM virtualization and provides preconfigured Linux and Windows Server templates (user-supplied license), with OS installation also possible via custom ISOs. It has 4 shared Intel Xeon SP Gold cores, 16 GB RAM, and 120 GB NVMe storage, with a monthly bandwidth of 50 TB on a 1.0 Gbps network port. Both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity are available, with rDNS enabled and port 25 open by default.
Viable Use Cases: The configuration is suited for backend service hosting, container orchestration (Docker or Kubernetes), and real-time data processing. It can serve as a platform for moderate-scale relational databases in development or testing, or run in-memory caching systems such as Redis that benefit from fast NVMe access. It is also applicable to API gateways, reverse proxies, and microservice architectures requiring good network performance.
Critical Considerations: The shared CPU cores may cause performance variability during sustained heavy loads. The lack of advanced BGP routing limits deployments that require dynamic route optimization.
