BD-96: 18 vCPU, 96 GB RAM, 600 GB SSD
BD-96 is the top of the Value line and the cheapest big machine we sell: $111.90 for eighteen cores, 96 GB of memory and 600 GB of SSD — the largest disk on any VPS in the catalogue. The odd core count is the supplier's true allocation at this size, printed rather than rounded to a nicer number. It is the plan for workloads that have outgrown everything else's memory or disk but not their budget, with the line's usual terms: density over clock speed, one business day.

Scope
What the price covers, and what it does not.
BD-96 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-96 is the right size.
The most machine per dollar in the catalogue: 18 cores, 96 GB, 600 GB of SSD.
- Memory-hungry applications
- Search indexes, caches and JVM heaps that want most of 96 GB, at a price where over-provisioning stops being a sin.
- A storage-heavy platform
- 600 GB of SSD under a media library, a data warehouse's working files, or every tenant's uploads at once.
- The everything box
- The whole self-hosted estate — apps, databases, backups of the backups — on one machine with room left over.
Line
BD-96 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.
