High Performance Cloud VPS
High-frequency compute and NVMe storage for mission-critical, latency-sensitive workloads in the cloud.
What is High performance?
When milliseconds move revenue, High Performance is the cloud built for speed. Faster processor cores, high-frequency memory, and local NVMe storage translate directly into lower latency and higher throughput for the workloads that cannot wait.
These instances are engineered for compute-bound, latency-sensitive systems — the customer-facing APIs, real-time engines, and build pipelines where performance is a contractual obligation, not a nice-to-have. You get the headroom to absorb peak concurrency without prematurely scaling out and multiplying your operational surface.
And because it runs on elastic, hourly cloud infrastructure, you can bring that performance online for a launch, a trading session, or a release window — then scale it back the moment demand subsides. Mission-critical performance, on tap, billed only for the hours you use.
Best for
- Customer-facing web and API tiers under heavy concurrency
- Real-time systems: matching engines, bidding, gaming, and messaging
- CI/CD runners and build farms, where saved minutes compound across a team
- Media transcoding and time-sensitive batch processing
- In-memory caches and high-throughput databases
- Latency-sensitive services bound by customer SLAs
When to choose another type
Intermittent or low-traffic workloads rarely justify the premium — General Purpose is more economical. If you need capacity for data at rest rather than fast cores, choose Storage Optimized.
Compare all locations →Why teams run High performance in the cloud
Enterprise-grade, battle-tested infrastructure without enterprise procurement. Spin up resilient, high-availability instances in seconds, scale on demand, and pay only for what you use.
Performance you can feel
Higher-clock cores, fast memory, and local NVMe storage cut p99 latency where it counts: under real, concurrent load.
Scale for the spike
Provision additional capacity in seconds to ride a launch or peak, then decommission it — the cloud charges for hours, not commitments.
Built for mission-critical
Production-grade infrastructure and a low-latency global network for systems where downtime and lag are not options.
Engineer-friendly control
Full root, your stack, and an API-first workflow that drops straight into your automation, CI/CD, and observability.
What real projects cost
Billing is hourly, with the first hour charged on deploy and a monthly price ceiling on every plan. Network transfer is included up to each plan's allowance; beyond it, usage is billed at a flat $0.09 per GB. Here is how that works out for a few representative High performance workloads.
A high-concurrency public API
A customer-facing API sustaining heavy concurrency at peak, where p99 latency is written into customer contracts. JSON responses add up to roughly 800 GB a month.
On a 4 vCPU · 16 GB instance at $0.1112/hr (about $80.00/mo), 800 GB of transfer runs 600 GB past the 200 GB allowance — 600 × $0.09 = $51.00 — for about $131.00/month all-in.
A CI/CD build farm
A build fleet that only needs to run during working hours. Rather than paying around the clock, the team runs it about 220 hours a month and decommissions it overnight and on weekends.
On a 32 vCPU · 192000 MB instance at $1.3888/hr, running it for about 220 hours costs roughly $305.54 — you pay only for the hours it exists, then destroy it and billing stops.
A real-time matching engine
A latency-critical matching and feed service where a few milliseconds change the outcome. Message volume reaches about 300 GB a month.
On a 32 vCPU · 192000 MB instance at $1.3888/hr (about $1,000.00/mo), 300 GB of transfer runs 100 GB past the 200 GB allowance — 100 × $0.09 = $8.50 — for about $1,008.50/month all-in.
Greater compute headroom lets a single instance sustain far more requests per second at peak. That ceiling pairs with the included transfer allowance, billed predictably per gigabyte beyond it. Figures are illustrative; your costs depend on the plan you choose and your actual usage.
A production-grade cloud foundation
Every High performance instance runs on the same enterprise-ready, fault-tolerant platform — global reach, ironclad reliability, predictable economics, and the granular control your teams expect.
Always-on reliability
Resilient, self-healing infrastructure with redundant power and networking, backed by a published service-level agreement.
Global low-latency footprint
Data centers on six continents — 25 countries and growing — on a high-throughput backbone, so workloads run close to your users and meet data-residency mandates.
Elastic, hourly economics
Provision in seconds, scale on demand, and pay by the hour with a monthly price ceiling on every plan. No contracts, no lock-in, zero capital expenditure.
Enterprise networking & control
High-bandwidth IPv4 and complimentary IPv6, generous included transfer, plus full root access and an API-first workflow built for automation.
Questions enterprises ask
- What makes these faster?
- Higher-clock processor cores, faster memory, and local NVMe storage, so compute-bound requests complete sooner. The gain is most visible in latency-sensitive and high-concurrency workloads.
- When does the premium pay off?
- When response time maps to revenue or to a service-level commitment. If a 100 ms improvement changes conversion, retention, or a contractual obligation, the higher hourly rate is usually the cheaper option overall.
- Can we scale up and back down?
- Yes. Because billing is hourly, you can run High Performance instances through a peak period or a release and decommission them afterward, paying only for the hours used.
- Can it carry mission-critical workloads?
- Yes. High Performance is designed for production systems where latency and throughput are business-critical, backed by NVMe storage, a low-latency global network, and our service-level commitment.
- How does it fit our automation?
- Every instance is API-driven, so High Performance fits cleanly into Terraform, CI/CD, autoscaling, and your existing observability alongside the rest of your fleet.
