Hosting provider ProCloud has revised its approach to virtual servers and rolled out an updated VPS lineup. The decision followed an analysis of real-world usage, which showed that impressive numbers of vCPU and RAM did not always translate into stable performance — and sometimes even created operational headaches. As it turned out, “more” does not automatically mean “better.”
Three Profiles Instead of One-Size-Fits-All
As a result, ProCloud has introduced a new generation of cloud servers based on dedicated CPU cores with no overselling involved. In other words, the resources you pay for are not quietly shared with a particularly enthusiastic neighbor.
The new lineup is divided into three performance profiles, each tailored to a specific type of workload:
-
CPU Optimized — designed for compute-intensive tasks such as video encoding, high-frequency trading, and scientific workloads.
-
General Purpose — a balanced option aimed at typical production environments.
-
Memory Optimized — intended for RAM-heavy use cases, including large databases, Redis, and Elasticsearch.
Profiles can be changed as project requirements evolve, without turning the process into a migration puzzle.
What Changes in Practice
The updated VPS offerings promise guaranteed CPU performance and eliminate the classic “noisy neighbor” effect. Available configurations range from 1 to 32 CPU cores and 2 GB to 192 GB of RAM, with CPU-to-memory ratios from 2× to 6×.
According to ProCloud, performance scales linearly when upgrading resources, with gains of up to 40% even when keeping the same configuration — a rare case where the numbers are meant to work quietly in the background.
Availability and Regional Nuances
The new plans are currently available in Miami, Warsaw, and Moscow. Users can deploy new virtual servers or upgrade existing Enterprise configurations. All previously created Enterprise servers continue operating at their original prices.
There is, however, a geographical footnote: creating new Enterprise servers remains possible in all regions except Miami, Warsaw, and Moscow, where the focus has shifted to the updated dedicated-core lineup.
Overall, ProCloud’s update subtly suggests that the era of chasing ever-higher vCPU counts is giving way to a more pragmatic and predictable approach to virtual infrastructure — fewer surprises, fewer neighbors, and fewer reasons to wonder where the performance went.
