DS-1: 20 threads, 64 GB, 2 × 512 GB NVMe
DS-1 is the entry point to the European lineup. The i5-13500 is a hybrid part — six performance cores and eight efficiency cores, 20 threads in total — which suits a machine running many small things at once better than one thing very hard. Two 512 GB NVMe drives and 64 GB of memory make it a capable host for a container fleet or a busy application with its database.

Scope
What the price covers.
The right-hand column is not a list of things we are working on. It is the shape of the product.
In the price
- A whole physical machine — no hypervisor of ours, no neighbours, no oversubscription
- 1 Gbit uplink with unmetered traffic
- One IPv4 address and a /64 of IPv6
- Full hardware access: run your own hypervisor, container platform or bare operating system
- Available in Germany
- Provisioned within one business day of the order clearing
Not in the price
- Self-managed: operating system, patching and application support are yours
- A one-off setup fee applies on the first invoice and is not refundable
- No hourly billing and no minute-scale provisioning — this is hardware, not an instance
- No panel-driven resize: changing machine is a migration to a different one
- No Windows licensing sold with it; the images we support are Linux
- We do not publish IOPS figures for these drives because we have not measured them ourselves
Suited to
What DS-1 is the right machine for.
The cheapest of the European machines: 20 threads and 64 GB for $133.90 a month.
- Moving a fleet of VPS onto one box
- Twenty threads and 64 GB replaces several mid-sized instances, with no neighbours and no per-instance bill.
- A container host
- Small services get their own CPU budget, and the efficiency cores absorb the background noise.
- A database with room to breathe
- 64 GB keeps a substantial working set in memory, and the two NVMe drives let you separate data from write-ahead logs.
