How to check if the CPU on VPS is dedicated or shared?

houmiehoumie Member

Is there a method to find out?

Thanks,

  • It’s shared.

  • even the name proves it if its vds or dedicated server then it means its dedicated or else in case of vps it means its shared.

  • from the vps plan name

    Thanks! Yes, the naming actually makes sense. I was looking at HostHatch's 'Black Friday 2023 - AMD Compute 8 GB - T1' offer. It comes with 4 cores, but I don’t recall if it had one dedicated core and three shared, or if all four were shared.

  • they are always shared and if its priced 0.50$ its overcommitted too

    Mine crypto for a week and if it’s not suspended, CPU must be dedicated.

  • Judging by the price.

    Hammer it 24x7.
    If it's dedicated the provider will not suspend you.
    Otherwise they will suspend it or terminate your account.

    What are you trying to ask here? How will the outsiders know about anything? Create a ticket with thr provider and ask them directly.

    If you know the exact service name I can search it from the pony cache. However Black Friday 2023 - AMD Compute 8 GB - T1 returns no results.

  • JabJabJabJab Member

    Have you tried to Google?

    Hi,

    1. check the CPU Model
    2. Check online 1-3 benchmark results for those CPU Model
    3. Run occasionally this 1-3 benchmarks on your server
    4. compare the online results with your results

    Make sure to math out your own usage ( or stop your usage during testing ).

    Your results and the results of the online database for the specific benchmark should in average not be much more away from each other than 5%

    If they are in average (far) away from each other, then you know that you have obviously less CPU at your service than it should have.

  • Usually you'll pay a premium and they'll mark it specifically as a VDS and not a VPS.

    If you aren't sure, assume it's shared. If you want to know, submit a ticket and ask.

    Contact support, and ask if there is a fair usage policy for your vCPU ?
    Thats what I aways did, If I had doubt.

    4 CPU cores (100% dedicated, burstable up to 400%)
    8 GB RAM
    100 GB NVMe storage
    10 TB bandwidth
    $55 per year
    (1.5X RAM, storage, and double bandwidth for 3 year payments)
    

    So you can max out 1 vCPU if you like.

    EDIT: oh, I see I was late to the replies. BTW - one thing I always do is that I have a spreadsheet where I record all my servers and one of the columns is a link to the offer thread if that's where I got it from (I almost always do get them via a promotion).

  • There is no way to tell for sure. However, if your plan comes with more than 1 core of CPU per 4GB RAM, then most likely it is a shared CPU, not dedicated.

    For example, 6 core CPU with 8 GB RAM --> 99% chance shared CPU.
    1 core CPU with 8 GB RAM --> probably dedicated CPU.

    Thank you! I actually opened a ticket earlier today about this, and HH confirmed that it's 1 dedicated core and 3 shared. It's a very good deal, actually. I'm shuffling my servers around and couldn't remember.

    The reason I asked here was to see if there’s a technical way to figure this out, but it seems there isn’t.

    Yeah, it's a great idea, actually. Keeping a spreadsheet with all these details is very helpful for when you need it.

    Everything's sorted now, though. Thanks!

  • If you are expecting dedicated per the plan, load them for more than 10 minutes and you are fine. Likely to see service ban or hold after 10 min if shared.
