Basic Options
RAM: provision up to 16 GB of RAM to any server in 128 MB increments for just $2.99/month.
Server plans each come standard with a specific amount of RAM dedicated to that server. In many cases RAM is the component that most affects performance. When servers have less memory than is required to execute operating system and application instructions, that information is instead stored in a pagefile or swap partition. This paging is what leads to poor performance. To avoid this, ensure you have enough RAM for your application. If you are not sure how much to get, don't worry. You can always add RAM to your server; upgrades require just a server reboot.
CPU Cores: provision up to 8x 2.53 Ghz cores to any server in 1 core increments for just $7.99/month.
Each Virtual Dedicated Server is provisioned with a specific number of 2.53 Ghz cpu cores. These are the servers' processors. Depending on the operating system, these cores may be configured as multiple single-core processors or single processors with multiple cores. CPUs, after RAM, are the next most important component to performance. You may add cores to your server at any time. Core upgrades require just a reboot.
Boot Disk: provision servers with up to a 500 GB boot disk in 1 GB increments for just $1.00/month.
A boot disk is the first virtual hard drive in a virtual server. It stores the operating system and all applications for the server. It is critical that the hard drive is large enough for all of your applications and data. If available disk space runs below 20%, it is likely that server performance will suffer. You may add disk space to a server's boot disk any time, in some cases without needing to even restart the server.
IP Addresses: provision servers with up to 5 IP addresses for just $1.00/month.
While one IP address is generally enough for most applications, there are times that you may need to have more. The most common reason for needing multiple IP addresses is SSL certificates for multiple domains. Larger allocations of IP addresses are available subject to approval.
Bandwidth: allocate up to 4 TB monthly data transfer in 500 GB increments for just $14.99/month.
Bandwidth or monthly data transfer is the amount of data transferred to or from the Internet in any calendar month. Each plan comes with a specific amount of bandwidth - some unlimited. In multiserver configurations, data transferred between servers are not considered part of this monthly data transfer.
Additional Disk Options
2nd, 3rd and 4th Disks: provision servers with up to 4x 500 GB disks in 1 GB increments for just $1.00/month.
Add up to 3 virtual hard drives to any plan. While this is not necessary for many configurations, specific applications benefit a great deal from having multiple disks. In most cases non-boot disks can be increased in size without any disruption in service.
