Frequently Asked Questions
Why are CPU cores important for a VPS?
CPU cores determine your server's processing power. More cores allow your server to handle multiple tasks simultaneously and process compute-heavy operations faster. Applications that perform calculations, encode media, compile code, or serve many concurrent requests all benefit from additional CPU cores.
How are the Best CPU deals calculated?
We calculate the CPU-to-price ratio by dividing the number of vCPU cores by the monthly price. Plans offering more cores per dollar rank higher. This ensures you find maximum processing power for your budget.
What is the difference between vCPU and physical CPU cores?
vCPU (virtual CPU) cores are allocated from the host server's physical CPUs using virtualization technology. While a vCPU may not equal a full physical core, modern hypervisors provide excellent performance. The number of vCPUs indicates the parallel processing capacity available to your VPS.
What workloads need more CPU cores?
CPU-intensive workloads include: video/audio encoding and transcoding, code compilation, scientific computing, machine learning inference, game servers, CI/CD pipelines, image processing, and applications with heavy computational logic. If your tasks make your processor work hard, prioritize CPU cores.
How many CPU cores do I need?
For basic websites: 1-2 cores. For dynamic web applications: 2-4 cores. For development/compilation: 4-8 cores. For video encoding or heavy processing: 8+ cores. Consider how many processes run simultaneously and whether they are CPU-bound.
Are these unmanaged Linux VPS plans?
Yes, all listed plans are unmanaged Linux VPS with full root access. This allows you to optimize CPU scheduling, set process priorities, and configure your server for maximum computational efficiency without restrictions.
