Products

name: Linux VPS; category: unmanaged_full_root_kvm_virtual_machine; service model: Monthly KVM virtual machines with full root access, one included IPv4 address, unmetered 1 or 2 Gbps connectivity and NVMe SSD RAID 10 virtual storage. The catalog calls CPU units vCPU/cores; Server Optima's own knowledge base says a VPS shares hardware with others, so the directory does not reinterpret them as dedicated physical cores.; catalog structure: Ten plans are common to California and New York. California additionally sells three EPYC 7763 plans; New York instead adds a 4-vCPU EPYC 9684x entry plan.; common california and new york: name: AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 1; vcpu: 6; memory gib: 20; storage gb: 300; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 37.8, name: AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 2; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 24; storage gb: 400; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 55.44, name: AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 3; vcpu: 12; memory gib: 32; storage gb: 500; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 73.08, name: AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 4; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 48; storage gb: 600; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 98.28, name: AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 5; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 64; storage gb: 700; port gbps: 2; monthly usd: 123.48, name: AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 6; vcpu: 24; memory gib: 128; storage gb: 800; port gbps: 2; monthly usd: 171.36, name: AMD EPYC 9554 Plan 7; vcpu: 12; memory gib: 32; storage gb: 500; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 87, name: AMD EPYC 9554 Plan 8; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 48; storage gb: 600; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 117, name: AMD EPYC 9554 Plan 9; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 64; storage gb: 700; port gbps: 2; monthly usd: 147, name: AMD EPYC 9554 Plan 10; vcpu: 24; memory gib: 128; storage gb: 800; port gbps: 2; monthly usd: 204; california additions: name: AMD EPYC 7763 Plan 1; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 16; storage gb: 200; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 19.2, name: AMD EPYC 7763 Plan 2; vcpu: 6; memory gib: 20; storage gb: 300; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 24, name: AMD EPYC 7763 Plan 3; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 24; storage gb: 400; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 35.2; new york additions: name: AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 4 cores; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 16; storage gb: 200; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 25.2; storage type: NVMe SSD RAID 10; transfer: unmetered, name: Linux VPS HA; category: unmanaged_full_root_kvm_virtual_machine_with_replicated_block_storage_and_optional_ha; service model: The Linux HA catalog replaces local RAID 10 storage with three-replica NVMe block storage. Server Optima says a VM configured for High Availability is restarted on a standby node within seconds after host failure, but its knowledge base explicitly says HA is optional by default and the customer must select the VM High Availability option. The base catalog price is therefore not represented as including enabled failover.; common california and new york: name: HA AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 1; vcpu: 6; memory gib: 20; storage gb: 300; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 46.76, name: HA AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 2; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 24; storage gb: 400; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 75.38, name: HA AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 3; vcpu: 12; memory gib: 32; storage gb: 500; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 86.94, name: HA AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 4; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 48; storage gb: 600; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 115.92, name: HA AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 5; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 64; storage gb: 700; port gbps: 2; monthly usd: 142, name: HA AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 6; vcpu: 24; memory gib: 128; storage gb: 800; port gbps: 2; monthly usd: 199.96, name: HA AMD EPYC 9554 Plan 7; vcpu: 12; memory gib: 32; storage gb: 500; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 103.5, name: HA AMD EPYC 9554 Plan 8; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 48; storage gb: 600; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 138, name: HA AMD EPYC 9554 Plan 9; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 64; storage gb: 700; port gbps: 2; monthly usd: 169.04, name: HA AMD EPYC 9554 Plan 10; vcpu: 24; memory gib: 128; storage gb: 800; port gbps: 2; monthly usd: 238; california additions: name: HA AMD EPYC 7763 Plan 1; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 16; storage gb: 200; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 23.92, name: HA AMD EPYC 7763 Plan 2; vcpu: 6; memory gib: 20; storage gb: 300; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 29.7, name: HA AMD EPYC 7763 Plan 3; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 24; storage gb: 400; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 47.84; new york additions: name: HA AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 4 cores; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 16; storage gb: 200; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 33.48; storage type: three-replica NVMe block storage; transfer: unmetered, name: Windows VPS; category: unmanaged_windows_kvm_virtual_machine_byol; service model: Windows VPS includes Remote Desktop, one IPv4 address and an unmetered port. Checkout offers Windows 10 Pro, Windows 11 Pro and Windows Server 2012, 2016, 2019, 2022 and 2025 images. The server images are evaluation versions that expire in about 180 days; Server Optima does not sell Windows licenses, so customers must bring their own license.; common california and new york: name: Windows AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 1; vcpu: 6; memory gib: 20; storage gb: 300; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 43.47, name: Windows AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 2; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 24; storage gb: 400; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 63.76, name: Windows AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 3; vcpu: 12; memory gib: 32; storage gb: 500; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 84.04, name: Windows AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 4; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 48; storage gb: 600; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 113.02, name: Windows AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 5; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 64; storage gb: 700; port gbps: 2; monthly usd: 142, name: Windows AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 6; vcpu: 24; memory gib: 128; storage gb: 800; port gbps: 2; monthly usd: 197.06, name: Windows AMD EPYC 9554 Plan 7; vcpu: 12; memory gib: 32; storage gb: 500; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 100.06, name: Windows AMD EPYC 9554 Plan 8; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 48; storage gb: 600; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 134.56, name: Windows AMD EPYC 9554 Plan 9; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 64; storage gb: 700; port gbps: 2; monthly usd: 169.06, name: Windows AMD EPYC 9554 Plan 10; vcpu: 24; memory gib: 128; storage gb: 800; port gbps: 2; california monthly usd: 234.6; new york monthly usd: 234.06; california additions: name: Windows AMD EPYC 7763 Plan 2; vcpu: 6; memory gib: 20; storage gb: 300; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 27.6, name: Windows AMD EPYC 7763 Plan 3; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 24; storage gb: 400; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 40.48; storage type: NVMe SSD RAID 10; transfer: unmetered; license cost: not included; customer-supplied license required, name: Linux Desktop; category: unmanaged_graphical_linux_kvm_virtual_machine; service model: Linux Desktop plans use the same RAID 10 compute platform with a graphical template and dashboard VNC console. Checkout offers Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon, AlmaLinux 9 GNOME, Rocky Linux 9 GNOME, Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop and Fedora 40 Cinnamon.; common california and new york: name: AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 1; vcpu: 6; memory gib: 20; storage gb: 300; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 37.8, name: AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 2; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 24; storage gb: 400; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 55.44, name: AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 3; vcpu: 12; memory gib: 32; storage gb: 500; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 73.08, name: AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 4; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 48; storage gb: 600; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 98.28, name: AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 5; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 64; storage gb: 700; port gbps: 2; monthly usd: 123.48, name: AMD EPYC 9684x Plan 6; vcpu: 24; memory gib: 128; storage gb: 800; port gbps: 2; monthly usd: 171.36; california additions: name: AMD EPYC 7763 Plan 2; vcpu: 6; memory gib: 20; storage gb: 300; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 24, name: AMD EPYC 7763 Plan 3; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 24; storage gb: 400; port gbps: 1; monthly usd: 35.2; storage type: NVMe SSD RAID 10; transfer: unmetered, name: Optional storage and network services; category: adjacent_vps_options; service model: The VPS page sells three-replica enterprise NVMe block storage in 10 GB increments at USD 0.85 per month, exposes private networks, VLAN automation, snapshots, full backup, firewall and optional HA, and includes one IPv4 address. The live checkout permits up to two extra IPv4 addresses at USD 3 each per month and up to three IPv6 addresses at USD 1 each per month on the sampled standard, Windows and desktop products. VPSBenchmarks reports paid snapshots at USD 1.20 each, Virtualizor management, private networking and optional object storage; the provider's current public cloud-storage marketing URL returns 404, so no object-storage product claim is normalized here.

The checkout spells Arch as 'Lastest'; the directory normalizes that obvious label typo but does not imply that obsolete/EOL templates receive upstream support.; windows licensing: Windows Pro images are described as non-expiring; Windows Server evaluation images expire in about 180 days. Server Optima sells no license, so activation is BYOL.; custom iso: not_found; customer image upload: not_found

Virtualization

virtualizer: KVM; basis: The current VPS page explicitly describes KVM full virtualization with virtual BIOS and virtual processor, memory, storage and network hardware.; guest access: Linux products advertise full root access; Windows products expose Administrator/RDP access through provider images.; control plane: VPSBenchmarks identifies Virtualizor, CPU/RAM/disk-I/O/network charts, SSH-key setup, mobile UI and customer-console upgrades.; public infrastructure api: VPSBenchmarks explicitly reports no Admin REST API.; unverified capabilities: custom ISO upload, customer image import/export, nested virtualization, VM shelving

CPU isolation

classification: shared; basis: Server Optima's own VPS definition says the virtual machine shares hardware with others. No current plan promises a dedicated physical core or host-exclusive CPU.; unit qualification: The catalog's Cores and vCPU labels are normalized as logical vCPU allocations. No physical-core/SMT-thread mapping, pinning commitment or numeric oversubscription ratio is published.; processor families: AMD EPYC 7763, AMD EPYC 9684X at advertised 2.55 GHz, AMD EPYC 9554 at advertised 3.1 GHz; location boundary: The cheapest California plan is on EPYC 7763; the cheapest New York plan is labeled EPYC 9684x. Processor family is tied to the selected plan, not guaranteed across all products.

Features

• App installation root installation: Full root/Administrator access permits customers to install compatible guest software.; provider templates: Server Optima says it makes custom Linux and Windows software templates; current checkout exposes OS and graphical-desktop templates.; native application marketplace: not_found; management boundary: The VPS service is unmanaged; guest application installation, licensing, security and updates remain the customer's responsibility, although ticket or live-chat help may be available.
  ✓
• Templates & images os templates: 28 Linux/FreeBSD, seven Windows and five graphical Linux choices are enumerated under operating_systems.; snapshots: The VPS page supports on-demand snapshot creation and restore. VPSBenchmarks says backups are not included and reports USD 1.20 per snapshot.; full backup: The product page says full backup is supported but does not publish an included allowance, schedule, retention period or price.; ha storage: Linux HA uses three-replica block storage, but VM failover must be separately enabled according to the knowledge base.; custom iso or image import: not_found
  ✓
• Network orchestration private networks: Customers can create isolated private networks between VMs and instantly create VLANs between dedicated servers and VMs through self-service network automation.; addressing: The sampled standard, Windows and desktop checkouts include one IPv4 address, allow up to two additional IPv4 addresses at USD 3 each per month, and allow up to three IPv6 addresses at USD 1 each per month. The older VPSBenchmarks IPv6=No flag is superseded by this live paid-IPv6 selector.; panel workflows: Official guides show customer-panel purchase/upgrade and assignment of public and private IPv4 interfaces, followed by guest configuration and reboot. VPSBenchmarks reports panel upgrades and monitoring charts.; storage network: Optional three-replica NVMe block storage runs over a 2 x 100 GbE network and costs USD 0.85 per 10 GB-month.; automation boundary: VPSBenchmarks explicitly reports no Admin REST API, floating IP or shelving. No customer route-table or public load-balancer object was found.; reverse dns: VPSBenchmarks explicitly reports reverse DNS unavailable.; transfer: All current VPS cards advertise unmetered 1 or 2 Gbps bandwidth; no fair-use threshold is published on the product page.
  ✓
• Firewall provider feature: The current VPS page explicitly lists Firewall support and advanced DDoS protection; VPSBenchmarks also marks both available.; network security: Server Optima advertises private-network isolation and optional Gopher Security for identity-aware encrypted mesh connectivity and micro-segmentation across VPS and other products.; configuration boundary: No public firewall-rule API, security-group schema or included DDoS capacity/response SLA was found. The VPS remains unmanaged, so guest firewall administration is the customer's responsibility.
