What's included

Everything pre-installed, nothing to configure.

Order, wait 30 seconds for deploy, log in — your stack is running.

🔥

Truly dedicated cores

No vCPU oversubscription. Your 16 cores are 16 physical threads, locked to you, all the time.

⚙️

Modern Xeon / EPYC

Recent-generation Intel Xeon Gold or AMD EPYC. AVX2, AVX-512 (where supported), high single-thread performance.

📦

Pre-installed compilers

GCC, Clang, Rust, Go, OpenJDK, Python 3.12 ready out of the box. No 'apt install build-essential' archaeology.

🎬

FFmpeg CPU-tuned build

Pre-compiled FFmpeg with libx264, libx265, libvpx, AV1 (SVT-AV1), and high-bitdepth support. Software encoding only — no GPU.

🚀

Fast NVMe scratch

Render to local disk at 3 GB/s, then rsync the result. Network is fast; local NVMe is faster.

🐾

Hourly billing option

If you only need 50 hours/month, hourly billing is available. Pay only when the box is running.

01 — Who this is for

Built for developers

Compute-optimised with dedicated CPU cores (no oversubscription). Target workloads: video encoding (FFmpeg), software compilation, scientific computing, 3D rendering, build pipelines.

Why a dedicated high cpu VPS beats DIY

You could install Base OS — Ubuntu / Debian / AlmaLinux / Rocky on a generic $5 VPS. Most people who try spend an evening on the install, another on hardening, another on backups, and then it falls over the first time the kernel updates. We've done that work — every high cpu plan is tuned, monitored, and updateable in one click.

🐾
02 — The stack

What's actually running on your VPS

No black boxes — here's the exact software shipped on every High CPU VPS plan.

The High CPU VPS image ships with: Base OS — Ubuntu / Debian / AlmaLinux / Rocky. We don't fork or patch — we use the official upstream releases, with sensible defaults for our hardware. Update on your schedule, not ours.

Everything runs in containers via Docker, so updates are atomic. If a release breaks something, roll back to the previous image in 30 seconds. No 'I broke prod by running apt upgrade' moments.

🐾
03 — The hardware

Real cores, real NVMe.

The same KVM hypervisor and enterprise NVMe drives we use across every OliveVPS region.

Common questions

About High CPU VPS hosting.

What's the difference vs a regular VPS?

Regular VPS plans oversubscribe CPUs — your 'vCPU' shares physical cores with other tenants. On High CPU, your cores are dedicated and locked. Benchmark a CPU-bound workload and you'll see 2–3× the throughput.

Can I do GPU-based video encoding?

No — these are CPU-only plans. For GPU encoding (NVENC, QSV), contact us for dedicated GPU servers. CPU x265 encoding is slower but produces smaller files, which is often what you actually want.

Does this run distributed builds (distcc, bazel-remote)?

Yes — popular setup. Put a High CPU 16-core box as your shared build cache + executor. Your local laptop submits work, the box compiles in parallel. Cuts most CI builds by 5–10×.

Hourly vs monthly billing?

Monthly = best price if running 24/7. Hourly = best for batch jobs (render farm, weekend builds). Email support to enable hourly mode on your account.
