Hardware Information
This is an overview of the hardware that we use on our hypervisors.
Overview
We use various types of hardware across all of our hypervisors. The specific processor that you get will depend on what is specifically available or in stock. Some locations have varying hardware than others. Please note that we cannot guarantee which processor you will get in these plans. The processor your plan is hosted on may change in the future, especially as brand new more performant and/or power efficient hardware comes out.
Lineups
Virtual Servers
KVM Premium VPS
Across all of our KVM Premium VPS plans, we usually use DDR5 ECC memory. The memory speeds run up to 4800 MHz for this specific lineup, and we are always running Gen4 RAID10 Enterprise NVMe SSD. This lineup uses the latest generation of AMD EPYC processors, making for one of our best stability and performing VPS plans.
Available Processors
- AMD EPYC Genoa 9554
KVM Standard VPS
Across all of our KVM Standard VPS plans, we usually use DDR4 or DDR5 memory (mostly ECC). Generally, we either run RAID1 or RAID10 NVMe SSD’s. The memory speeds can vary from 2400 MHz to 4800 MHz, though most of our modern AMD EPYC VPS hypervisors use 2933 MHz DDR4 memory. These CPU models are subject to change, especially as we move into switching more locations to enterprise-grade AMD EPYC processors. Please note that we may not be able to move your VM or guarantee a specific CPU in this list, these are just processors that you may potentially get in the CPU pool. Different locations may have different processors!

KVM 5950X VDS
Across all of our KVM 5950X VDS plans, we usually either run RAID1 or RAID10 NVMe SSD’s. The memory speed can vary depending on the host node that you get placed on.
Available Processors
- AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
KVM 7950X VDS
Across all of our KVM 7950X VDS plans, we usually either run RAID1 or RAID10 Gen4 Enterprise NVMe SSD’s. The memory speed can vary depending on the host node that you get placed on.
Available Processors
- AMD Ryzen 7950X
- AMD Ryzen 7950X3D
Other
Website Hosting
We use a variety of processors, usually in a RAID1, RAID5, or RAID10 configuration with NVMe SSD’s. The memory speed will depend on the exact host node that you get placed on.
Available Processors
- AMD Ryzen 7900
- Intel Xeon E3-1230 v6
- Intel Xeon Silver 4215R
Clock Speeds
All of our virtual private servers run at their respective turbo boost clock speeds. We do not throttle the processors or limit the TDP’s of the processors that we use. Please keep in mind that the CPU clock speed shown in your virtual machine is most likely inaccurate, as the real CPU turbo speeds are not reflected and virtual machines use the base clock as a placeholder. Most of the processors we use can boost well past 3 GHz+
CPU Passthrough
Due to the nature of our infrastructure, we disable CPU passthrough on most KVM Standard VPS virtual machines. This means that the CPU model you get placed on may not be visible to the system. The primary reason that we do this action is due to live migrations. If we need to take down a system due to updates or maintenance, or we notice that a host node is too overloaded, we can easily live migrate virtual machines onto other host nodes. This helps improve your service stability. We still pass the necessary flags through for nested virtualization and other CPU functions, but sadly the CPU model will not be shown. The lineups with guaranteed CPU models, such as KVM 7950X VDS, typically have CPU passthrough enabled as all of the host nodes have the same processors.
