BD-12: 6 vCPU, 12 GB RAM, 200 GB NVMe
BD-12 doubles BD-8's disk and adds half again the compute for four dollars more. Two hundred gigabytes of NVMe at this price is the figure to notice: the cheapest Flex plan with that much disk is C3-8 at $86.90, five times the money. The platform trade is the same as the rest of the line — density over clock speed, Nuremberg only — and the 32 TB monthly allowance is far more than a machine like this will ordinarily use.

Scope
What the price covers, and what it does not.
BD-12 is a self-managed server. The list on the right is not a gap we intend to fill later — it is the other product.
In the price
- Full root access — your own kernel, your own packages, your own firewall
- One dedicated IPv4 for the life of the server
- Provisioned to order on the supplier's platform and handed over ready to log in
Not in the price
- Nobody patches the operating system but you — this is a self-managed server
- No snapshot, resize or private-networking panel features on this line — it is a different platform underneath
- No managed backup add-on on this line yet: take your own backups off the box
- Regions cannot be changed in place; moving means a new server and a DNS cutover
- Prepaid terms are not pro-rated if you destroy the server early
Suited to
Where BD-12 is the right size.
Six cores, 12 GB and 200 GB of NVMe for $16.90 a month.
- A storage-hungry application
- Photo libraries, document stores and media archives, where the disk fills faster than the CPU works.
- A small fleet of staging environments
- Several branches of the same product side by side, each with a real database and room for fixtures.
- A community or game server
- Voice, chat and modest game worlds on a budget, with disk to spare for maps, mods and backups.
Line
BD-12 sits on the Value line. Cores on this line are shared with other tenants on the same host. Bursts are quick; an hour pinned at 100% is not something a shared core can promise.

About BD-12 specifically.
