Standard Server Plans¶

Our standard server configurations are generally available to all users on demand, as well as through a hardware reservation, or on the spot market.

Availability varies by location, customer demand, and data center capacity, especially for on demand and spot market servers. You can check current capacity and inventory levels on our Capacity Dashboard. Other ways of checking can be found on the Inventory and Capacity documentation page.

All servers are billed on an hourly basis. Rates vary between on-demand, reserved hardware, the spot market, and location. Pricing and availability is published on the Servers Product page.

Current Standard Server Plans¶

Note - On-demand provisions may have a different CPU than stated in the plan configuration. You are guaranteed a server that has a CPU with the stated specification or better.
