Four vCPU per physical core. Published.
That is the cap, not an average. Most hosts will not tell you theirs, which is usually how you find out it is twelve.
Shared-core KVM on Gen4 NVMe, in the one jurisdiction with no notice-and-takedown statute to invoke. Root about sixty seconds after your payment clears.

The honest part
Every host on earth shares cores at this price. The difference is whether they tell you the ratio before you pay, or after your build times double at six in the evening.
Four vCPU per physical core. Published.
That is the cap, not an average. Most hosts will not tell you theirs, which is usually how you find out it is twelve.
Disks stay under 70% provisioned.
NVMe slows down as it fills. Leaving headroom is the difference between the benchmark you read and the one you get.
No burst credits, no cliff.
You are not given a fast hour and a slow week. The allocation is the allocation, at 3 a.m. as at noon.
Want the cores to yourself?
The reserved-core line pins them to you and nothing else is ever scheduled on them. Same rack, same jurisdiction.
No upsells
No protected-IP tier, no per-snapshot charge, no support plan to buy.
Full root, KVM
Real hardware virtualisation. Your own kernel, Docker, nested VMs, sysctl. Not a container wearing a server costume.
IPv4 + a routed /64
One IPv4 on every plan, more on request, and a whole /64 of IPv6 so you never subnet a /128.
DDoS filtering
Layer 3/4 scrubbing upstream of the port, on by default, at no charge and with nothing to enable.
Two snapshot slots
Take one before you break something. Restore in under a minute, as often as you like.
Custom ISO and console
Mount any image, including your own hardened build, and watch it boot over the serial console.
API and SSH keys
Provision, resize, snapshot and destroy from your own code. Keys installed at order time, password login off.
Before you order
Anything else, support answers in minutes — and says no plainly when the answer is no.
Open a ticketYes, and without reinstalling. CPU and memory resize on a reboot; the disk grows online. Downgrades need a fresh disk, so take a snapshot first.
Cores. Here they are shared with other guests under a published 4:1 cap. There they are pinned to you and nothing else is ever scheduled on them — same hardware, same building, roughly twice the price.
Neither. You pay for the month, or for the year at 20% less. Cancel whenever; there is nothing to give notice of.
The server is suspended at the end of the paid period and the disk is kept for seven days, then wiped. No debt collection, and no name on file to chase.
The rest of the range
Same jurisdiction, same network, same refusal to ask who you are. They differ on the one thing named in each title.
Ready when you are
No account needed to see every price, no identity needed to order. $20 a month gets you a server nobody can talk us into switching off.
