NVMe VPS guide
Our NVMe plans use NVMe storage instead of standard SSD and come with a port as fast as or faster than the standard plan of the same size. This guide helps you decide whether your work needs it.
Databases, busy WordPress or online shops, crawlers that save every page they fetch, build servers and anything that handles many small files wait on the disk more than on the processor. NVMe drives answer those requests much faster than standard SSDs, so the same work finishes sooner.
If your tool mostly waits on the network or uses little disk, a standard VPS costs less and does the same job.
At each size, the NVMe plan has the same number of vCPU and the same memory as the standard SSD plan, half as much storage again, and a port that is as fast or faster. The price table below lists both ranges, so you can see the difference for each size.
Both ranges include full root access on Linux, a dedicated IPv4 address, nine locations and payment in cryptocurrency with no KYC.
On a Linux server, run top and look at the wa value: time the processor spends waiting for the disk. If it stays high while your tool is busy, the disk is holding you back. The command iostat -x 1, from the sysstat package, shows how busy each disk is; a disk near 100% utilisation is a sign that NVMe would help.
If the processor is busy and wa stays low, more vCPU or dedicated cores will help more than a faster disk.
Monthly price on a 1-month term, in Germany. Other locations add a small monthly extra. Longer terms are 3% to 10% off the server price. The exact total is shown on the order form before you pay.

NVMe for databases, busy sites and disk-heavy tools; standard VPS when the disk is not your bottleneck and price matters more.
