Looking for performant stable VPS provider for database heavy website
Right now im running on an interserver 4 slice which has outgrown my needs. and sadly, they have no slices available to purchase at the moment otherwise I would have gone with that.
Not sure who to turn to at the moment for needs, currently the site is serving over 1.5m api requests a day, peak daily visitors of around 60k. we are storing historical data on over 400k players, with it expected to top out around 800k by EOY.
The site is a backbone to dozens of other fan projects for this game, so uptime and stability are extremely important.
I would need unmetered connection, 10gb preferred, 4-6 cores with low steal time or dedicated cores. with 16gb ram as minimum. I can skate by with 200-300gb of space even.
Im looking to spend sub $40 month for shared cores or sub $80 month for dedicated cores. Not sure if thats crazy. I just need to save on infra so if its even lower great! if its higher i guess ill have to face reality lol
NA datacenters preffered, we have global traffic but it is currently about 60% US/CAN 15% KR 20% MENA and rest is assortment.
Where would you put this behemoth?

Just go with ovh, you have good thing running why gamble when you have the budget?
Setup fee will be dropped in coming days
Hello,
We can offer
4 vCPU (Dedicated)
16GB Ram
300GB NVME PCIE Gen 5
2TB Bandwidth
25GbE
1x Anycast Routed IPv4
DDoS Protected
$52/Month
(CHI, LAX and or AMS)
We also have VPS shared options shoot us a dm if you're interested!
You can go with @onidel @oloke 3x Ceph replication. The pricing is awesome too. You can also go with @servarica_hani for the VDS. They're good too. I've had almost 220 days of uptime with them.
also @cloudblast for the 10G port specifically...But none of them offer unmetered bandwidth. Even with a 10Gbps port, you still have to pay for the bandwidth you use. The only truly unmetered option here is @xHosts, with a 1Gbps port.
I'd like to summon our 10Gbps specialist - @averagedatahoarder
That might be fine actually for metered! looking at usage its about 30gb a day so i guess I can slide in anywhere.
We may have some 10G servers in the coming days, we are going to soon be having a short outage on a some nodes to upgrade the network on these servers to 25G allowing some 10G VPS to be hosted on these
You can't go wrong with @onidel, but if you really need the burst of a 10Gbps port in NA, checkout @advinservers or @hosthatch. All solid providers for the price. They're very affordable in that you can do failover if you need to without breaking the bank and all the above offer bandwidth pooling.
@averagedatahoarder you forgot to re-login
Heh
@Nekochi
So 45M requests a month... are you sure you need 16GB and 10Gbps? Are you serving images, etc.? How much traffic per month?
If you are serving game data I'd asusme that would mostly be text so I'd be quite surprised if you truly needed 10Gbps.
I run an API from a DB with ~1B requests a month (granted the vast majority are read requests) and am getting by with a small Calibour VPS with no issues. No need for 10Gbps as it is text only.
Cache aggressively with Cloudflare if possible for read requests, this will take a bit of load off your server (though for me small VPS is fine even with only 40% of requests being absorbed by CF cache)
Hello,
We believe we can offer you a solution that suits your needs, with a configuration even more powerful than what you're looking for, while staying below your budget of $40 per month.
Based on the specifications you provided, we can offer you a VPS with the following features:
All of this for €26.45 per month, equivalent to approximately $29.53.
You can find more information and all the details of the configuration here:

thank you for the business. i would love to help. we are restocking nyc by eod. Please dm me and i can get you activated as well.
if you grow this fast maybe time to start looking into something like https://eco.ovhcloud.com/en-ie/rise/rise-s/ for next upgrade, typically much cheaper than a VPS per compute
fwiw that's only ~17 req/s on average, even with peaks thats not much bandwidth, so i wouldn't pay extra just for 10gb. for a db heavy site i'd care way more about local nvme than ceph, replication is nice for uptime but every db write has to go over the network
OVH and Leaseweb would probably be fine for you. DCs in Europe and North America to choose from.
Both, especially Leaseweb, are leaning towards B2B so it helps if you have a company incorporated.
I have some game servers on VPSes with Gigahost (Norway) with players worldwide (US, EU, AU/NZ) that have been rock solid and no issues with latency. However, it's games where ping isn't crucial. I suppose storage might be an issue with Gigahost VPSes. Not sure if they do custom specs.
Hey @Nekochi,
Sounds like you have got quite a project running there!
If Frankfurt, Germany is an option for you, we could offer something that fits your requirements pretty well.
Here's what we could do:
6 vCores (Ryzen 9 7950X3D, shared)
16 GB DDR5 RAM
250 GB NVMe
10 Gbit/s shared port
8 TB Traffic
1x IPv4 + /64 IPv6
DDoS Protection
Frankfurt, Germany
€27.99/month recurring
With your current usage of around 30 GB/day, the included traffic should be more than enough.
I know stability is a big concern for you, especially with other projects relying on your API. We could also arrange a test so you can see how the VPS handles your workload before moving anything over.
Obviously we're not in North America, which might be a dealbreaker for you, but if Frankfurt is worth considering, feel free to drop me a PM!
I can order new ones in New Jersey or Los Angeles but not Dallas!
I'm with CubePath. We offer VPS hosting in Miami and Houston, with plans that could fit your budget and requirements.
We also have a 10 Gbps network upgrade option if you need additional bandwidth. Might be worth checking out for your workload!
hello mine grew pretty fast after reading this, can you please suggest a place to put it?
