That trade is only worth making for work which sits in one or two threads (a game world, a trading bot, a build runner, an API whose p99 someone is watching), and this line is stocked for exactly those.

02Performance

Fewer vCores, on purpose

One to fourteen vCores per plan where Standard KVM gives two to thirty-two, at an identical price ladder, on AMD EPYC 7443 in Amsterdam.

Virtualisation
KVM · full root access

Hi-CPU KVM runs on AMD EPYC 7443 with ECC memory. At the same nine prices a Hi-CPU plan carries fewer vCores than Standard KVM, which runs on Intel.

EPYC 7443 in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is 7443 throughout, so the chip named on the plan is the chip your server lands on.

Root on a shared platform

Your own kernel and full root, but vCores that are scheduled rather than reserved. Cores nobody else can reach is what a dedicated machine is for.

Console and clean reinstalls

VNC reaches the box when the network no longer does, and a template reinstall puts a badly tuned experiment back to zero.

Snapshots for patch day

Snapshot the world, roll the update forward, roll it back when the new server binary disagrees with your plugins.

03Platform

What you actually get

AMD EPYC 7443, never Intel

Every plan on this line lands on EPYC 7443 with ECC memory in Amsterdam, the region it is sold in today. 7443 is what the price is written against, and 7443 is what you get.

20 to 280 GB of fast disk

The storage ladder matches the Standard one and so does the cluster underneath it: enterprise NVMe holding copies on other nodes. A build cache, a world save or a bot's state file outlives the hardware it was written to, and coming back after a node failure is the platform's job rather than your ticket. Need more without a bigger plan? Add storage in 15 GB blocks from the panel.

Ready in a minute, at any hour

Deployment is automatic day and night, which matters on the Friday a tournament doubles the number of servers you need and matters not at all on a quiet Tuesday. Order, pay, connect. Between seasons a reinstall from the template list gives you the same clean start again.

Attacks that follow the players

A game server is worth attacking to whoever is losing on it. Filtering therefore sits permanently in front of both regions, on the €4.99 tier as much as on the €99.99 one, with nothing to enable and nothing extra on the invoice when a bad evening turns out to have been aimed at you.

5 Gbit/s at the popular tier

Through the middle of the ladder the port runs ahead of the Standard line: 5 Gbit/s where that one gives 2, and 10 Gbit/s from the sixth tier upwards. Traffic underneath stays fair use, so a scraper that polls all day and a world full of players are equally quiet on the invoice.

People who know what a tick is

On Discord, on Telegram, by mail (day, night and Sunday), with engineers rather than a routing queue at the other end. Bring the profile, the crash log or the graph that bent the wrong way after an update; the first answer generally arrives inside the hour.

05Use Cases

What people run on it

Typical workloads our customers deploy on this line.

  • Game servers
  • Trading bots
  • CI & build runners
  • Low-latency APIs
  • Discord bots
  • Emulation
  • Rendering
  • Databases

The trade here is deliberate: fewer vCores for your money, every one of them AMD EPYC. When the work parallelises instead (many containers, many small sites, a build farm, a database with room to spread), Standard KVM puts 2 to 32 Intel vCores behind the same nine prices, and that is the better buy. Sizing a game server? Gaming VPS matches popular games to the smallest plan on each line.

06What's allowed

What's allowed on this plan

Hi-CPU KVM shares the clean IP range with Standard KVM. Any lawful use is fine. These are the four answers to know before you order.

DMCA notices

Handled under the AUP

A DMCA notice is handled like any other abuse report under the Acceptable Use Policy. For a relaxed takedown policy, choose DMCA Ignored KVM or, on bare metal, DMCA Ignored Dedicated.

Scanning

Not on this plan

Port scans and network sweeps are not allowed here. They belong on Pentesting KVM, the one KVM line where scanning is part of the policy.

Always prohibited

On every plan

CSAM, weapons and drugs, malware and botnets, phishing and fraud, spam (unsolicited bulk e-mail), anything that gets the range blacklisted, and anything else illegal under German law. Any of it can end the service without notice and without a refund.

Refunds

As account credit

Consumers can withdraw within 14 days and get the unused share back as VMHeaven account credit. Beyond that there are no refunds. Goodwill is only given as account credit, at our discretion. Credit is never paid out as cash or a bank transfer.

The full rules are in our Acceptable Use Policy; refunds are section 07 of the Terms of Service.

Hi-CPU runs on AMD EPYC 7443 with ECC memory. What separates it from Standard KVM is the ladder: at the same nine prices a Hi-CPU plan carries fewer vCores (1 to 14 instead of 2 to 32), so it suits workloads that lean on one or two cores rather than many. Standard KVM sits on Intel hardware with DDR4 ECC.

No. Hi-CPU is a shared virtualisation platform like Standard KVM: what the line buys you is AMD EPYC silicon and a shorter core ladder, not exclusive CPU time. If you need cores nobody else can reach, that is a dedicated server.

The ones that spend their time in one or two threads: game servers, trading bots, CI runners, a latency-sensitive API. Anything that parallelises well (builds, containers, many small sites) gets further on Standard KVM, which carries 2 to 32 vCores at the same nine prices. Running a Discord or Telegram bot? Bot hosting explains which plan a bot needs.

Deployment is fully automated and starts the moment your payment is confirmed: no manual review, no waiting queue. A Linux VPS or a hosting account is online within about a minute; Windows Server needs a few minutes more, because its first boot sets up the system.

Yes. Every server and hosting plan includes always-on, automatic DDoS mitigation at no extra cost, in whichever location it runs.
