BD-48: 12 vCPU, 48 GB RAM, 400 GB NVMe
BD-48 is fleet-scale hardware at single-server money: twelve cores, 48 GB and 400 GB of NVMe for $54.90. On the classic lines the same spend buys VPS-4 twice over; here it buys a machine that can host an entire team's environments or a production stack with genuine headroom. The usual Value-line honesty applies — shared cores tuned for density, one location, one business day to build — and at this size the comparison worth making is with the Dedicated CPU line, which sells certainty rather than capacity.

Scope
What the price covers, and what it does not.
BD-48 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-48 is the right size.
Twelve cores, 48 GB and 400 GB of NVMe for $54.90.
- A dev platform for a whole team
- Everyone's environments, preview deployments and shared services on one machine that does not care how many containers it holds.
- A large self-hosted suite
- The full stack — files, chat, CI, monitoring, wiki — consolidated with memory to spare.
- Game and community hosting
- Several worlds or shards side by side, with 400 GB for saves, mods and rolling backups.
Line
BD-48 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-48 specifically.
These are the questions this plan actually gets, answered without the marketing round-off.
BD-48 or DC-16 at twice the price?
What does 'tuned for density' actually mean?
