Q: What DDoS protection is included with Budget VPS?

All Budget VPS plans include Tier 1 VoxiShield protection at no extra cost. This includes automatic DDoS mitigation, port filtering, and standard security rules to protect against common attacks. Budget plans have preset protection templates managed by VoxiHost. Premium plans offer Tier 2 with custom firewall rules, GEO blocking, and advanced analytics-learn more.

Q: What is the Fair Usage Policy for unlimited transfer?

Unlimited transfer on 100 Mbps port means no hard bandwidth caps for normal use. Our Fair Usage Policy simply asks that you don't abuse the network for excessive file sharing, torrenting, or sustained 24/7 maxing out of your connection. Typical websites, apps, game servers, and services are completely fine. If you need guaranteed high bandwidth for CDN or media streaming, contact us about Premium plans with 1 Gbps ports.

Q: How do backups and redundancy work?

All Budget VPS plans feature NVMe RAID 1 storage for hardware-level redundancy against drive failures. For application-level backups, you have full root access to set up your own solution using tools like rsync, Borg, or cloud storage. Paid backup service is available as an optional add-on when ordering your VPS, providing automated snapshots managed by VoxiHost.

Question 1

What is Budget VPS and how does it differ from Premium?

Accepted Answer

Budget VPS runs on the same hardware as Premium (AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, DDR5, NVMe) but with different resource allocation. Budget guarantees 25% RAM (burst to 100%), while Premium guarantees 95%. For CPU, Budget uses Hybrid vCore (2 vCores per physical core with fair-share scheduling), whereas Premium offers Performance vCore with dedicated access.

Question 2

How does CPU allocation work on Budget plans?

Accepted Answer

Hybrid vCore means each vCore is half of a physical CPU core (using hyperthreading). For example, a 4 vCore Budget plan gets 2 physical cores on the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. These vCores run with Standard Priority scheduling, meaning during peak host usage, Premium VPS gets priority access. However, when the host isn't busy, you can burst to full performance. This keeps costs low while still delivering flagship AMD performance for development and standard workloads.

Question 3

How does RAM allocation work on Budget plans?

Accepted Answer

You always have at least 25% of your plan's RAM reserved exclusively for you (e.g., 4GB → 1GB minimum). However, since most servers don't use 100% RAM all the time, you can usually burst usage up to 100% of your allocation whenever the host node has free memory. This provides flexibility for occasional spikes while keeping costs affordable.

Question 4

I see "Steal Time" or performance fluctuations. Is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is expected behavior for Fair Share resources. Because Budget plans offer top-tier hardware at a low price, they have lower CPU priority during peak usage hours.

Does this affect my server? For typical workloads like websites, bots, or development, the impact is negligible-the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is fast enough to handle queuing without lag. However, for latency-sensitive apps (like competitive game servers), we recommend Premium plans for guaranteed consistency.

Question 5

What workloads are Budget VPS best suited for?

Accepted Answer

Budget VPS is perfect for development environments, staging servers, Discord/Telegram bots, small WordPress sites, personal projects, learning/testing, and small game servers (<20 players). Also great for CI/CD runners, internal tools, and low-traffic applications. For production apps with high traffic or mission-critical workloads, consider our Premium VPS plans.
