Built for throughput, not hobby staging
A Premium Cloud Server on CloudServerHQ starts where Basic leaves off. The smallest Premium plan is 8 GB RAM / 4 vCPU with a 10 Gbit connection — sized for APIs, game backends, CI runners, and databases that saturate a standard 1 Gbit link.
You still get isolated compute, persistent NVMe SSD, public IPv4, and administrator access (SSH on Linux, RDP on Windows). Pricing is transparent monthly USD — no hyperscaler maze.
What you get on every Premium plan
- Minimum 8 GB RAM — no micro tiers on this page.
- 10 Gbit networking — listed on every Premium plan card.
- Larger NVMe disks — from 200 GB upward for I/O-heavy apps.
- Higher transfer allowances — more monthly egress headroom.
- Full root / admin — your OS, firewall, and stack.
