CPU configurations in Hostvento Hosting VPS products

This article discusses CPU configurations in Hostvento Hosting’s Managed VPS and Unmanaged VPS products.

It is not as easy to compare the CPUs of the different VPS offerings head-to-head as it might seem. This is a result of the various hardware configurations and virtualization methods used by the VPS solutions. Hostvento Hosting is constantly coming up with new programs for our clients in order to stay on the cutting edge of technology. Because of this, we currently have a large number of customers using various setups. Virtualization is used by OpenVZ in older Managed and Unmanaged VPS plans and Virtuozzo in more recent Managed and Unmanaged VPS plans.

With that in mind, the CPU configuration for each VPS product is as follows:

• On an Unmanaged VPS, more vCPUs (virtual CPUs) give you access to more virtual cores on the node. Because the CPUs on these servers use HyperThreading, the operating system sees each physical core as two cores. The number of clock cycles available on each core varies according to the overall load from all virtual machines on the node.
• On a Managed VPS, you have access to the full number of cores, but as with an Unmanaged VPS, the number of clock cycles available varies according to the overall load from all virtual machines on the node.
