Shared CPU
Shared CPU cloud servers
Shared CPU plans keep pricing low by pooling host capacity. Extra headroom can show up when the machine is quiet, ideal for websites, test environments, and lighter production loads.
Dedicated CPU
Dedicated CPU cloud servers
Dedicated CPU plans reserve processing power for your instance. Use them for sustained traffic, encoding, game sessions, and databases where predictable performance matters more than the lowest sticker price.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about cloud VPS
What is a Compute Instance?
A Compute Instance is a cloud VPS: a Linux virtual machine with its own operating system, memory, and disk. You get root access without buying a physical server. Hosting providers list the plans, and you compare them on NodeRings.
Is a Compute Instance the same as a VPS?
Yes. VPS means virtual private server. A Compute Instance is that kind of machine: your own OS and root login, with CPU, memory, and storage from the plan you pick. It is not a shared website account.
Should I choose shared or dedicated CPU?
Shared CPU plans pool the host, so the price stays lower and spare capacity can appear when the machine is quiet. Dedicated CPU plans reserve cores for your instance. Use shared for sites, tests, and lighter production. Use dedicated when the workload needs steady CPU, such as a busy app, encoding, or a database.
How much does a cloud VPS cost on NodeRings?
There is no single NodeRings price. Each plan shows that provider’s fixed price or usage rate, including CPU, memory, and disk. Open marketplace search or a provider page to see the current offers.
How do I create a Compute Instance?
Search the marketplace or open a provider, choose a plan and a region, then deploy. The server is created on that provider’s infrastructure and shows up in your NodeRings console.
Where are the virtual machines located?
In the regions that provider publishes on the plan. A plan listed for Ashburn runs in Ashburn. The provider page shows the cities they offer. NodeRings does not hide the location behind one global region name.
What can I run on a Compute Instance?
Linux workloads: websites, app servers, databases, workers, game servers, and Instant Apps such as WordPress. Pick the region and plan that match the latency and size you need.
Fixed price or usage-based?
Both are available. Pick fixed-price or usage-based for each plan, and filter marketplace search by the billing model you prefer.
