Premium VDS servers are KVM machines optimized for computing and memory based on modern AMD EPYC hardware. They offer fully dedicated resources and no noisy neighbors.
What is a Premium VDS server?
A premium virtual dedicated server (VDS) is a kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) with fully dedicated CPU and memory resources. Premium VDS sets a new standard for dedicated CPUs, representing the next generation (v2) of current VDS servers, resulting in improved performance for both CPU and RAM.
These servers utilize modern AMD EPYC 9554P CPU and DDR5 4800 MHz memory for exceptional performance. The underlying server hardware is not overbooked, ensuring stable workloads and eliminating the noisy neighbor effect commonly found with standard virtual servers. Furthermore, with Cloud Premium VDS, each server receives logical core pairs belonging to the same physical core, guaranteeing an even more significant performance boost.
How can I order a Premium VDS server?
Premium VDS servers come with pre-built resource capacity and are deployed by a fully automated provisioning system. This system runs a multi-step server preparation process to ensure you receive a clean and safe server each time on demand. You can expect your Premium VDS servers to be deployed in 5 to 15 minutes.
VDS servers can be billed hourly or fixed-term, with monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual billing cycles available. Premium VDS servers also support spot billing.
Premium VDS servers are currently available in NL and US locations but will gradually appear elsewhere. The server can be ordered through the portal. Premium and Performance VDS servers are placed in the Virtual Servers section in the Dedicated resources category, e.g.:

Performance of Premium VDS servers
It is important to note that the performance of Premium VDS RAM memory is three times better than that of ordinary VDS, reaching speeds of up to 75GB/s. However, when considering the overall performance, it is important to consider additional features:
CPU
In terms of CPU, the Premium VDS is 50% more efficient than current VDS servers. Additionally, the Premium VDS outperforms regular VDS servers by as much as 70%.
RAM
The allocated RAM memory is dedicated, and the amount in the node will always exceed theoretical limits, considering the RAM used by all clients.
NVMe disks
The disk subsystem is based on NVMe disks, combined into a secure RAID 10 arrays for data safety and quick accessibility, especially for Premium VDS. The disk space allocated to each virtual server is limited by its speed. Currently, the IOPS is capped at 30,000 operations.
Network
All virtual servers on a single node share a 10Gbps internet channel, with each server allocated up to 1Gbps speed.
Backup Storage
Backup Storage is a dedicated network-attached file storage space associated with your server. You can activate 50GB of Backup Storage space for your Premium VDS server free of charge.
Additional IP Addresses
Aside from the static Management IP address that is automatically assigned to every server upon deployment, you can add multiple additional IP addresses to your Premium VDS server:
- Floating IP: This is a public IPv4 address that can be instantly moved from one server to another within the same region.
- DDoS Protected Floating IP: This is a floating IP address with an added layer of real-time DDoS scrubbing protection.
Private VLAN Subnet
A private VLAN subnet is a virtual local area network (VLAN) interface that groups servers within a team to enable private interactions as if the servers were attached to the same wire.
Out-of-band Management Console
Out-of-band management (OOBM) Console is a remote server management technology that uses the Remote Frame Buffer protocol (RFB) to control another computer remotely through a Virtual Network Computing (VNC) graphical desktop-sharing system.
Server Tags
Server tagging allows you to label your cloud infrastructure resources in any custom organizational structure, facilitating better organization, control, and monitoring of your cloud resources.
Cloud-init Service
Cloud-init is a service that enables you to retrieve user data when provisioning new servers through an API.
Present limitations
Cloud Premium VDS servers share a pool of NVMe storage with a maximum limit of 30000 IOPS.
