We've increased the number of vCPU on every EQVPS plan — at no extra cost. Same prices, more cores. Here's what changed and how to get it.
What changed
| Plan | vCPU before | vCPU now |
|---|---|---|
| Nano | 1 | 2 |
| Micro | 1 | 2 |
| Small | 2 | 4 |
| Medium | 4 | 6 |
| AI-Agent | 2 | 4 |
The same applies to the dedicated-IP variants (Nano-IP, Micro-IP, Small-IP, Medium-IP, AI-Agent-IP). RAM, disk and pricing are unchanged — this is purely more CPU.
How to activate it
- New orders get the new vCPU immediately on provisioning.
- Existing servers: the new cores are already written to your server's configuration. They activate on the next reboot of your VPS — reboot from the dashboard, or run
rebootover SSH. A simple guest reboot is enough; we won't restart your server for you, so your uptime stays in your control. - The fair-use cap (cpulimit) is already active — no reboot needed for that part.
Burst model — what the vCPU number means
vCPU on EQVPS is a shared, burst resource. The vCPU count is a peak ceiling for short spikes — compiling code, deploying, handling a traffic burst — not a guarantee of dedicated physical cores pinned at 100% around the clock. Every VM has a per-VM cap (cpulimit) so that one busy server can't starve its neighbours.
In practice this means snappier builds, faster deploys and better headroom for bursty workloads, while keeping performance fair for everyone. Sustained full-core 24/7 load (e.g. mining) isn't what shared plans are for — see our Acceptable Use Policy.
Why we did this
Our nodes were running with plenty of CPU headroom. Rather than let it sit idle, we're handing that capacity back to customers as more vCPU. No price change, no action required beyond a reboot when convenient.
