VPS Description:
Overview: This Layer7 VPS, hosted in France, operates on KVM virtualization and supports both Linux and unlicensed Windows (with user-supplied licenses). The system is provisioned with 4 shared Intel Xeon SP Gold cores, 8 GB of RAM, and 240 GB of NVMe storage. A monthly bandwidth allocation of 50 TB is provided over a 1.0 Gbps port, with dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 connectivity and rDNS support. Custom ISO installations are available, allowing for a wide range of operating system configurations.
Potential Use Cases: This VPS is well-suited for moderately demanding workloads such as high-traffic web services, dynamic API endpoints, and containerized applications managed via platforms like Docker. The combination of fast NVMe storage and substantial bandwidth makes it ideal for real-time data processing, caching layers, and database applications requiring low-latency I/O. Its support for custom ISO installations enables specialized software deployments.
Critical Considerations: The shared nature of the CPU cores may lead to performance variability under sustained heavy load, yet the overall configuration is robust for a range of network and data-intensive applications.
