VPS
vCPUs scheduled across cores that other VPS use too. The cheapest way to buy a fast processor.

8 VPS plansVPS, VDS or bare metal?
All three run on the same AMD EPYC 4584PX with DDR5 and NVMe, behind the same filter. What changes is how much of the processor is yours, and how much of the machine.
One processor, three ways to rent it. The same 16-core chip in each, bare metal in its standard build. The shading shows how much of it is yours.

VDS
Whole cores allocated to you. Shown: FusionCore, 4 of 16 cores.

Where the sizes overlap. Between 2 and 12 you can buy the same CPU count either way.
The question there is not size but sharing: whether your load keeps its cores busy long enough for sharing to cost you.
- VPS8 plans, 1 to 12 vCPU on shared cores
VPS plans: Nano 1 vCPU, Mini 2 vCPU, Starter 3 vCPU, Growth 4 vCPU, Pro 6 vCPU, Elite 8 vCPU, Max 10 vCPU, Titan 12 vCPU.
- VDS6 plans, 2 to 16 dedicated cores
VDS plans: MicroCore 2 cores, FusionCore 4 cores, OmniCore 6 cores, PrimeCore 8 cores, TitanCore 12 cores, UltraCore 16 cores.
Three questions, in order. If the first answer is no, you can stop there.
Question 1: Is the processor busy for hours at a time?
An API at peak every evening, a database serving every request, jobs that run all day.
No: a VPS. Yes: go on.
VPS: vCPUs on shared cores
Question 2: Would 16 allocated cores and 64 GB be enough?
UltraCore is the largest VDS, and every smaller size is on the list below.
Yes: a VDS, sized with the guide below. No: go on.
VDS: FusionCore shown, 4 of 16 cores
Question 3: Do you need the hardware itself?
Your own hypervisor, a custom memory or disk layout, nobody else on the machine.
Yes: bare metal, quoted for your build.
Bare metal: all 16 cores
Which plan to pick, by workload. A published plan for each, and every plan can move up later.
A website or web app
Web traffic is bursty, which is what shared cores are good at. Sized for: a production web app with its database on the same box.
For a small site or a bot: VPS Nano, ₹890$9.49/mo.
An API or a staging environment
Mostly idle between requests, so shared cores cost the least for the time you use. Sized for: an API, a staging copy of production, or a small database.
A busy web shop or SaaS back end
Room for workers and a cache next to the app, still on shared-core pricing. Sized for: a busy web shop or SaaS back end, with its workers and cache alongside.
A VPN or a remote desktop
Mostly moving packets rather than computing, and Prism validates VPN and RDP traffic on the host. Sized for: a VPN, a Discord bot, a small website or a lab box.
For a Windows desktop with more memory: VPS Mini, ₹1,780$18.99/mo.
A production database
Steady load and a working set that wants memory. Sized for: a production database with steady load, or a large game server.
For large databases, caches or search: VDS TitanCore, ₹29,820$313.99/mo.
A latency-sensitive service
Allocated cores, so it never waits behind another server for processor time. Sized for: one latency-sensitive service that should never wait for a shared core.
CI runners and build servers
Builds come in bursts, so shared cores are usually the better buy. Sized for: CI runners, several services side by side, or a busy game server.
For builds and jobs that run all day: VPS Max, ₹8,900$93.99/mo.
Several services on one server
Enough allocated cores to give each service its own share. Sized for: several production services on one machine, each with cores of its own.
A game server
Its main loop runs on one thread, so the fast clock matters more than the core count.
For one that is busy for hours every evening: VDS FusionCore, ₹9,940$104.49/mo.
A hosting reseller
Enough allocated cores to split between customers. Sized for: busy SaaS back ends and hosting resellers.
Your own hypervisor or a custom build
Nothing between you and the hardware, with the whole AMD EPYC 4584PX configured for you.
We do not publish how many visitors, requests or users a plan can serve, or benchmark figures, because they depend on your code, data and traffic more than on the plan. If you are between two sizes, start on the smaller one and resize. The bar under each plan places its CPU count on the 16 cores of one processor.
Choosing between them
Is a VDS the same as bare metal?
No. A VDS is a virtual server under KVM with whole cores allocated to it; the machine can also run other servers on other cores. Bare metal is the physical machine itself, with no hypervisor and nobody else on it.
Is a VPS slower than a VDS?
Each vCPU and each core runs on the same AMD EPYC 4584PX, up to 5.7 GHz. The difference is not the speed of a core but whether you share it: a VPS shares cores with other VPS, so under heavy contention it gets less time; a VDS core is allocated to you. We do not publish benchmark comparisons.
Is DDoS protection different between them?
No. 17 Tbps of upstream mitigation capacity and the Clouduxe Prism filter protect VPS, VDS and bare metal the same way, in Mumbai, Singapore and Limburg.
Can I start on a VPS and move to a VDS later?
Resizing within a product is changed in place: CPU and traffic straight away, memory and disk at the next restart. Moving between VPS and VDS is a different product, so ask support how to plan the move for your server.
Why is bare metal not priced on the site?
Because memory, disks and traffic are configured for each build. Email contact@clouduxe.com with what you need and we will quote it.
Still between two? Ask the people who run the machines.
Tell us what you run and we will suggest a plan. Support is 24/7/365, on Discord and at contact@clouduxe.com.
