価格の裏側にある数字

Three reasons, none of them exciting. We buy last-generation-plus-one EPYC hosts outright instead of renting capacity from a hyperscaler. We sell terms, so a host is full the day it is racked instead of three months later. And we do not employ a sales team. What we do not do is oversubscribe past 3:1 on fair-share plans or past 1:1 on dedicated-core plans — the numbers on the performance page come from production hosts under real load.

Fair-share is right for almost everything: web apps, databases under a few hundred queries a second, game servers, VPN endpoints, CI that is not on the critical path. Choose dedicated cores when a workload is CPU-bound for minutes at a time — video transcoding, compilation, backtesting, inference — or when a scheduler's p99 matters more than its median. It adds 55% to the plan price and removes neighbours from your cores entirely.

Fleet-wide, the 95th percentile on fair-share plans sits at 1.4% and on dedicated-core plans at 0.0%. We publish the rolling figure on the status page. If a host drifts above 3% steal we stop selling on it and migrate instances off, which is why some sites show 'low stock' from time to time.

Two manual snapshots per instance are free and always available. Scheduled backups are an option priced as 10% of the compute line for weekly and 20% for daily — weekly keeps four restore points in the same country, daily keeps fourteen in a second one. Restores are self-service from the console and take minutes, not a ticket.

Upwards, at any time, with the difference pro-rated across the remaining term. Downwards at the end of the term. Memory and vCPU changes need a reboot; disk grows online. Moving between regions is a rebuild, not a resize — the data does not follow.

Windows Server 2019, 2022 and 2025 Standard, with the SPLA licence included in the monthly figure shown at configuration. Remote Desktop is open on first boot and the licence is ours, so you do not need to bring one.
