Performance VPS FAQs

FAQs | More information on Performance VPS
Why choose VPS hosting?

You should choose VPS hosting when your project outgrows the limits of shared hosting or when you need more control over your server environment. With Virtual Private Servers, you get guaranteed resources you can rely on to support your projects. The isolation of each virtualized environment also provides a significant security layer.

A VPS platform gives you root access to install custom software and configure the server to your exact needs, offering a level of freedom that is essential for serious developers and businesses.

What is VPS hosting commonly used for?

VPS hosting is commonly used to run websites and web apps , host databases and APIs ,

set up dev / test / staging environments , power e-commerce stores , operate services like game servers, VPNs (e.g. WireGuard ), file-sync (e.g. Nextcloud ), n8n automation , mail , monitoring and even crypto and blockchain workloads . Compared to shared hosting, you typically get allocated resources and even full admin / root access with some providers. It’s more affordable and faster to scale than bare metal . Spinning up a VPS with a provider like Contabo takes just minutes.

Is Performance VPS shared or dedicated?

Performance VPS is shared VPS hosting at the hypervisor level. Each plan guarantees dedicated VPS resources (virtual cores, RAM, NVMe storage) per the spec, but the underlying host is shared with other tenants. If you need single-tenant dedicated CPU allocation, see Cloud VDS for a VPS vs VDS comparison.

Does Performance VPS support AI-ready workloads?

Yes, Performance VPS is a VPS for AI-ready workloads on the CPU side. AMD EPYC compute, NVMe throughput, and high RAM headroom handle model-serving, embeddings, and orchestration. GPU acceleration is not included, so this fits CPU-based workloads, not GPU training or large-model hosting.

What NVMe storage and bandwidth options are available on Performance VPS?

Every NVMe VPS plan comes with Gen 4 PCIe NVMe SSD, from 150 GB up to 900 GB standard (up to 1.8 TB with Storage Extension). Network is a high-bandwidth VPS setup at 500 Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s, with unlimited VPS bandwidth and unmetered VPS traffic on all plans. Fair usage policies apply.

Can I upgrade to a different VPS plan later?

Yes, you can upgrade to a more powerful VPS plan through the Customer Control Panel . Simply navigate to your VPS instances via the sidebar, then click “More” on the VPS you wish to upgrade and select “Upgrade” from the dropdown menu.

If you want to downgrade, then you’ll need to buy the smaller plan through the Customer Control Panel. Once you downgrade, we recommend transferring all the data from your current VPS to the new one, and then mark your old VPS for cancellation. You’re always welcome to contact support if you need help with this.

Do you offer hosting panels for VPS?

Yes, we offer  cPanel  and  Plesk  hosting control panels at additional cost. We also offer Webmin for free. Note that we’re offering  Plesk for free for the first month  across our Cloud VPS, Cloud VDS, Storage VPS, and Dedicated Server plans.

If you’re not satisfied with Plesk within the first month, then just cancel it before the end of your first month through the  Customer Control Panel  (you won’t be charged if you cancel it before the first month ends). We also put together this  hosting panel comparison guide  to help you decide which panel is best for your needs.
