BD-24: 8 vCPU, 24 GB RAM, 300 GB SSD
BD-24 is the plan that makes the Value line's case most sharply: $31.90 a month for eight cores, 24 GB and 300 GB of SSD, when BD-8 is $12.90 for half the cores and a third of the memory. The difference is not generosity — it is a denser platform with lower peak per-core speed, in Lauterbourg, Seattle, New York and three more, built to order. For parallel, throughput-shaped work that difference is close to free money; for latency-shaped work it is not.

Scope
What the price covers, and what it does not.
BD-24 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 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-24 is the right size.
Eight cores, 24 GB and 300 GB of SSD for $31.90.
- A serious Docker or Kubernetes node
- Enough cores and memory to schedule real services with budgets, at a price that makes a second node thinkable.
- CI and batch workloads
- Builds, tests and jobs that want cores in parallel and do not care which millisecond they finish in.
- A consolidated self-hosted stack
- Nextcloud, monitoring, a forge and a wiki on one machine, each with room, on one small bill.
Line
BD-24 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.
Questions
About BD-24 specifically.
These are the questions this plan actually gets, answered without the marketing round-off.
Eight cores here or fewer on a classic line: which is faster?
Can I deploy it outside Lauterbourg and five more?
