About VPS, Types of VPS, and VPS Configuration details.

VPS is a virtual machine (VM) that is allocated resources like vCPU, RAM, and disk storage.

In Cozeon Cloud Platform, all VPS have following underlying hardware, by default:

  • Premium AMD EPYC CPUs
  • 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM
  • NVMe-SSD storage
  • Additional storage can be NVMe-SSD or HDD (RAID)

1 - Types of VPS

Understanding the types of VPS in Cozeon Cloud Platform

A VPS could be one of two types:

  • Shared vCPU
  • Dedicated vCPU

VPS (Shared vCPU)

This type of VPS gets a shared vCPU.

There is only one VPS configuration for this type of VPS:

VPS-SHRCPU: 1vCPU, 512MB RAM, 12.5GB NVMe-SSD, 500MB Data Transfer out

Since this type of VPS has shared vCPU, it is ideal for running moderate to low workloads.

It’s also the least configuration available, for a VPS, in Cozeon Cloud Platform.

Higher configurations cannot be created using shared vCPU configuration (VPS-SHRCPU).

For VPS pricing, take a look at the Pricing page

VPS (Dedicated vCPU)

This type of VPS gets a dedicated vCPU.

These are ideal for running heavy workloads, 24/7.

Again, there is only one VPS configuration, to start with, for this type of VPS:

VPS-DEDCPU: 1vCPU, 1GB RAM, 25GB NVMe-SSD/125GB HDD, 1TB Data Transfer-Out

This configuration (VPS-DEDCPU), is the base VPS configuration and can be used as it is, and it also serves as the building block for all the custom higher configurations you may choose for deploying VPS.

2 - Custom VPS Config

All about Custom VPS configurations.

VPS configuration could be one of two types:

  • VPS-SHRCPU (for Shared vCPU)
  • VPS-DEDCPU (for Dedicated vCPU)

VPS-SHRCPU

This configuration is for VPS with a shared vCPU.

Following are the details of this VPS configuration:

VPS-SHRCPU: 1vCPU, 512MB RAM, 12.5GB NVMe-SSD, 500MB Data Transfer out

It’s the least configuration available, for a VPS, in Cozeon Cloud Platform.

VPS-DEDCPU

This configuration is for VPS with a dedicated vCPU.

Following are the details of this VPS configuration:

VPS-DEDCPU: 1vCPU, 1GB RAM, 25GB NVMe-SSD/125GB HDD, 1TB Data Transfer-Out

This configuration is the base VPS configuration and can be used as it is, and it also serves as the building block for all the custom higher configurations you may choose for deploying VPS.

Higher configurations can be created using Dedicated vCPU configuration (VPS-DEDCPU).

Higher VPS Configurations

Higher VPS configurations are created, using the base configuration (VPS-DEDCPU), along with additional RAM and disk storage, as per requirement.

For e.g, if you need a VPS with following configuration: 2vCPU, 4GB RAM, 120GB NVMe-SSD

VPS-DEDCPU (base config) = 1vCPU, 1GB RAM, 25GB NVMe-SSD/125GB HDD, 1TB (DTO)
2 x VPS-DEDCPU = 2vCPU, 2GB RAM, 50GB NVMe-SSD, 2TB (DTO)
Additional RAM required to make 4GB = 2GB
Additional storage required to make 120GB = 70GB NVMe-SSD
Custom Config = 2-VPS-DEDCPU-2GR-70GSD

RAM and Storage can only be added to base VPS configuration.

RAM and Storage cannot be reduced from base VPS configuration.

3 - Create VPS

Steps to create a VPS.

To create a VPS, you need to perform the following steps, or take a look at the tutorial video at the end of this article.

  • Enter a tag/name for the VPS in the “Add Tag (for VPS)” box, and click “Next”.

  • Select a VPC from the “Select VPC” drop down

    • Select a Network from the “Select Network” drop down.
    • This will display the “Start IP” and “End IP” values in the “Selected Network Details” column.
    • Click “Next”.

  • Verify the data before submitting.
