We’ve doubled the vCPU count on most VPS hosting plans. A plan that had 2 vCPUs now has 4. A plan that had 4 now has 8. We had the capacity on our hypervisors and decided to pass it on rather than sit on it.
What changed
Every Linux VPS and Windows VPS plan in our lineup got more vCPUs at the same monthly price. On top of that, we reduced prices on plans with 16 GB RAM and above. So you’re getting more compute power and, on the larger plans, paying less for it.
This applies across all six data centers: Las Vegas, Dallas, Ashburn, Santa Clara, Amsterdam, and Singapore. Whether you’re running a Linux VPS for web hosting or a Windows VPS for remote desktop and trading, you get the same upgrade.
How to get the new CPUs
If you’re already a customer, reboot your VPS from the Client Portal and the new vCPU allocation takes effect. No ticket needed, no migration, just a reboot. Your OS will see the additional cores immediately.
One note: some older Windows versions may not report the extra cores correctly in Task Manager, even though they’re available. If you’re running Windows Server 2016 or newer, you’ll see them. If you’re on an older version and want to confirm, check with wmic cpu get NumberOfCores from the command prompt.
Why more CPU matters
More vCPUs help with any workload that can use multiple threads: web servers handling concurrent requests, database queries running in parallel, video encoding, compilation, and running multiple applications on the same virtual server. Even single-threaded apps benefit indirectly because background processes (OS updates, logging, monitoring) get their own cores instead of competing with your app.
