What defines these cloud profiles
KVM, ECC RAM and NVMe
Cloud instances use KVM, ECC memory and NVMe SSD storage. The CPU generation depends on the selected profile and location.
Allowance varies by location
Shared-resource profiles include 20 TB of monthly traffic at EU locations. Other locations have an allowance that depends on profile and size; the specific amount is shown with each plan.
DDoS protection and custom ISOs
DDoS protection is included. KVM instances can mount custom ISO images; the image architecture must match the server (x86 or ARM64).
Can I choose Intel or AMD for an x86 profile?
x86 instances may run on Intel or AMD hardware. You cannot select the CPU manufacturer for this profile; allocation depends on available hardware.
Will a custom ISO install itself automatically?
No. An ISO image can be attached for a manual installation. You are responsible for installation and network configuration.
How quickly is the server available?
Available standard instances are provisioned automatically after the order is completed. A custom ISO may require additional manual installation steps.
