Basic Knowledge Question on CPU usage

MariomkMariomk Member

Hey guys, I recently got my first dedicated server and managed to start using Virtualizor on it (thanks to the help of a few members and many comments on my previous post).

This server is for personal usage (will probably use it for a few client websites and my own), I got it because I wanted to see what the difference was between a dedi server and just using a VPS from a hosting provider like Rackner or Nexusbytes (my current providers).

Now, I have a question regarding CPU units and core % when making a VPS.

I got a Ryzen with 8 cores, and 64GB of ram and I want to create 8 VPS in it, so my initial thought was to just add one core per VPS, divide the ram and make the % be 100%, but then I thought that having all 8 of the VPS use all cores at 100% and each one with 1000 units would make it self-balance the resources, not sure if this is correct or not.

So if you wanted to do this for yourself, what would you do? I figured that my 8 VPS wont be all working at the same time because these would have websites from different time zones (possibly a couple in Asia, Euro, and America).

Thank you in advance for giving me your opinion/knowledge, I know this could be an entry-level thing, I just want to have the best possible performance for those 8 VPS as I can.

    If you want to host your production websites and use 100% performance, you should never use any kind of VMs or containers (e.g. KVM, Xen, Docker, Podman) because of performance loss. Instead, you should use systemd to manage your different web services.

  • Why don't use Docker to run each web service? In that case, if one of your web service has traffic peak, it can use all 8 CPU cores.
