Acceptable Use Policy for Disk/Storage I/O Usage

Different VPS packages come with varying Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) and limitations.
Below are the expected specifications based on the VPS package you choose:

Promotional VPS plans are not subject to the standard disk I/O specifications. These plans may offer lower read and write performance compared to regular VPS packages.

Why We Apply Disk I/O Limits

Disk I/O (input/output operations per second) is a shared resource on the host node. To maintain consistent performance and overall stability, we apply reasonable I/O limits to each VPS.

In a shared environment, workloads that generate very high disk activity - such as large database operations, backups, or intensive file processing, can consume a disproportionate amount of disk resources. Without limits, this can lead to increased latency and reduced performance for other VPS instances on the same node.

What This Means for You

Our I/O policies are designed to provide a balanced and predictable experience:

Stable Performance
Each VPS operates within a fair share of disk resources, helping maintain smooth performance across the node.

Consistent Speeds
You can expect reliable and steady disk performance, even during periods of higher activity.

Workload Isolation
Resource-heavy disk operations on other VPS instances are kept in check, so they do not interfere with your services.

Healthy Infrastructure
Balanced I/O usage helps keep the host system responsive and reduces the likelihood of slowdowns.

Built for Fair and Scalable Usage

I/O limits are aligned with each VPS package, ensuring an appropriate level of performance for the resources allocated. Larger plans are provisioned with higher I/O capacity to support more demanding applications.

If your application requires consistently higher disk throughput, upgrading your plan or reaching out to our support team can help ensure the best fit for your workload.
