A dedicated CPU VPS is a virtual private server where the assigned vCPUs are not shared with other customers and used by one server alone, keeping performance steady even for work that runs the CPU high for a long time. HELPER VPS dedicated CPU VPS starts at $25.00 per month for 2 dedicated vCPU, 8GB memory, 100GB NVMe and 5TB transfer per month, and you can log in as root within minutes of clicking Create.

What is a dedicated CPU VPS used for?
Work that runs the CPU high for hours or days rather than minutes gets more consistent results on a dedicated CPU VPS than on a server that shares the CPU. Here are four uses where a CPU-optimized VPS fits best.
Builds and CI runners
CPU-maxing work such as compiling code, running tests and building container images finishes in about the same time every run on dedicated vCPUs. Deploy schedules become easy to predict, and the Docker one-click app sets up your environment right away.
Game servers and real-time services
For game servers such as Minecraft, voice chat and real-time notification servers, even a brief CPU delay feels like lag. A dedicated CPU VPS keeps the same processing power regardless of other servers' usage, staying stable even at peak times.
Video conversion and data analysis
A good fit for batch jobs that use the CPU for long stretches, such as video encoding, image conversion, log aggregation and statistics. Choose 8 or 16 vCPU to run several jobs at once and cut total processing time.
Busy databases and backends
Databases and API servers for services with a constant stream of orders, payments and searches need both a fast CPU and a fast disk. With dedicated vCPUs and NVMe disks together, request spikes are handled evenly.
High-performance NVMe, dedicated CPU or bare metal: which should I choose?
All three give you fast storage and root access; the difference is how much of the CPU is yours alone. High-performance NVMe suits services with fluctuating usage, dedicated CPU suits work that always runs high, and bare metal suits when you need a whole server.
High-performance NVMe VPS
Fast disks and latest CPUs at a light starting price
Best for
- Websites whose usage rises and falls through the day
- Small databases and API servers
- Services starting on a small budget
- Work that needs disk speed first
Dedicated CPU VPS
A CPU-optimized VPS with vCPUs just for you
Best for
- Builds and conversions that run the CPU high for a long time
- Game servers sensitive to lag
- Backends with requests coming in nonstop
- Batch processing that needs the same performance every time
Bare metal dedicated server
A server that gives you a whole physical machine
Best for
- Work that needs dozens of cores at once
- Large memory and multiple disk setups
- Using the hardware directly with no virtualization
- Teams consolidating many services on one server
What is a dedicated CPU VPS, and how is it different from a regular VPS?
On a regular VPS, vCPUs share the processing time of physical CPUs among several servers. This is the most economical approach for work that uses the CPU in short bursts, like most websites, but when neighboring servers are busy at the same time, the processing time your server gets can drop. A dedicated CPU VPS ties the assigned vCPUs to your server alone, so it is not affected this way.
So on a dedicated CPU VPS, the same job takes about the same time every run. You can calculate in advance when a build will finish, how many players a game server can hold and how many minutes a video conversion takes, which makes operational planning easy. Consistent performance also means you can predict costs accurately.
It is still a virtual server, so it is created in minutes, and you start, stop, reboot and reinstall the operating system from the control panel as usual. You can choose much smaller sizes than bare metal, where you rent a whole physical server, making it the ideal middle step for work that truly needs CPU performance but not an entire server.
How many vCPUs should I choose for a dedicated CPU VPS?
A server with 2 dedicated vCPU and 8GB memory is a starting point for running a small game server, a personal CI runner or one busy website reliably. For several builds at once or game servers with many players, 4 vCPU and 16GB fits, and for work that can be split in parallel, such as video conversion or data analysis, 8 vCPU and 32GB cuts processing time significantly.
The largest server, with 16 dedicated vCPU and 32GB memory, comes with a 400GB NVMe disk and 7TB transfer per month, suiting teams that consolidate several services on one server. First check how many cores your programs use at once, then choose that many vCPUs to match costs with no wasted resources.
Starting on high-performance NVMe and watching usage is a good approach too. If the CPU usage in the control panel stays high all day, move to a dedicated CPU VPS at that point; you can use both types with the same account, choosing the right type for each service.

Dedicated CPU VPS FAQ
Answers on dedicated CPU VPS pricing, performance, payment and choosing specs
How much does a dedicated CPU VPS cost per month?
A server with 2 dedicated vCPU, 8GB memory, 100GB NVMe and 5TB transfer per month is $25.00 per month. 4 vCPU 16GB is $48.00, 8 vCPU 32GB is $96.00, and the largest, with 32 vCPU, 128GB, 1600GB NVMe and 10TB transfer per month, is $384.00 per month. Automatic backups, extra disks and DDoS protection are added only if you choose them.
What is the difference between dedicated vCPU and regular vCPU?
A dedicated vCPU uses its assigned CPU processing time for your server alone, while regular vCPUs are shared among several servers. So dedicated vCPUs keep the same performance even when neighboring servers are busy, with consistent results for builds, conversions and game servers that run the CPU high for a long time. For light services, regular vCPUs are more economical.
When should I choose a CPU-optimized VPS?
Choose it when CPU usage stays high most of the day or jobs must take the same time every run. Typical examples are code builds and CI, video encoding, data analysis, game servers with many players and backends taking requests nonstop. Websites with fluctuating usage are fine starting on high-performance NVMe.
How is a dedicated CPU VPS different from a bare metal dedicated server?
A dedicated CPU VPS is a virtual server that uses some of a physical server's cores to itself, while bare metal gives you a whole physical server. A dedicated CPU VPS starts at 2 vCPU and is created in minutes. If you need dozens of cores and large memory all at once, bare metal is the better fit.
How do I pay for a dedicated CPU VPS?
Choose a billing period (1, 3, 6 or 12 months) when creating a server and pay with cryptocurrency. Once the payment is confirmed, your server is created. Save 10% for 3 months, 15% for 6 months or 25% for 12 months. Pay the renewal invoice before your period ends to continue with the same discount. Sign-up takes just a single account token.
What happens to my server when the billing period ends?
When the billing period ends, the server is suspended, and you can start it again by paying the renewal invoice within 3 days. If there is still no payment after 3 days, the server and its data are deleted. Dedicated CPU VPS fees are on the larger side, so paying the renewal invoice before the period ends gives you peace of mind.
How long does it take to create a dedicated CPU VPS?
Creation starts as soon as you click Create, and the server is usually running within a few minutes. When it is ready, the control panel shows the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and the root password; for security the password can be viewed again for only 7 days, so change it on first login or log in with an SSH key. Add your public key once and it goes on every new server automatically.
Can I run a game server on a dedicated CPU VPS?
Yes, game servers are one of the best uses for a dedicated CPU VPS. The CPU is not affected by other servers, so there is less lag even at peak times, and with root access you set up any game server software and ports freely. For servers with many players, choosing DDoS protection at creation gives you extra peace of mind.
Which operating systems can I install?
Choose from Ubuntu 26.04, 24.04 and 22.04 LTS, Debian 13 and 12, AlmaLinux 10 and 9, Rocky Linux 10 and 9, CentOS Stream 10 and 9, and FreeBSD 14. The Docker, WordPress, LEMP and Node.js one-click apps come installed on Ubuntu 24.04, and you can reinstall the operating system anytime from the control panel.
How many servers can I create in one account?
You can create up to 10 servers per account. You can mix dedicated CPU, high-performance NVMe and standard SSD, so a setup with dedicated CPU for build servers and standard for web servers is managed from one screen. After your first payment, you can also create and delete servers automatically with the API.
