Guide to Choosing VPS Specifications According to Your Needs

Choosing server specifications is often confusing, especially if this is your first time. Yet if you choose wrong, your website could be slow or waste money because the specs are too high. We want to help you find the right choice for the type of website or application you're building right now.

Our main goal is for you to feel satisfied and use the server with peace of mind. By understanding your application's basic needs, this selection process will feel much easier and more enjoyable.

Determine Server Location Based on Your Visitors

Nowadays, server location greatly affects your website visitors' comfort. The basic rule is very simple: choose the server closest to where most of your users are located.

If your website visitors are mostly from Indonesia, then choosing an Indonesian server is the best choice. The advantage is very low latency or waiting time, so your website feels faster when opened. However, if you're targeting foreign markets or need very broad international connectivity, a Singapore server is an excellent choice.

Choosing Between NVMe or SSD Storage

At Flaz Cloud you will find two main types of hardware that you can choose according to your budget.

The NVMe DDR4 series (Garuda or Singa) is the choice for those who pursue speed without compromise. NVMe technology is much faster than regular SSD, making it suitable for applications that constantly process data. Meanwhile, the SSD DDR3 series (LowEnd) is the choice for those who want to save costs but need large RAM. This series is perfect for those who are learning or creating test servers for applications that aren't too heavy.

Before continuing to choose, make sure your account is ready by following the guide [How to Register a Flaz Cloud Account https://flaz.id/kb/cara-mendaftar-akun-flaz-cloud] so the ordering process isn't delayed.

Adjusting RAM and CPU to Your Application

Server power requirements vary for each person depending on what you want to install. As a guide so you don't make the wrong choice, please see some usage examples below.

• 4GB RAM with 2 vCPU (Garuda-4GB): Already very capable of running WordPress websites with medium traffic, bot applications, or lightweight hosting panels.

• 6GB to 10GB RAM: Suitable for online stores that are getting busy, company applications for internal use, or if you want to install multiple applications at once on one server.

• 18GB RAM and above: The best choice for large databases, applications that need to process lots of data, or if you want to run a Windows server smoothly.

It's also important for you to ensure your email data is active so server status reports always reach you. Please see the guide [How to Verify Flaz Cloud Account Email https://flaz.id/kb/cara-verifikasi-email-flaz-cloud] to make sure.

Pay Attention to Data Transfer Limits

The last thing that's equally important is checking your data transfer quota or bandwidth. At Flaz Cloud, we provide different advantages for each location.

For Indonesian server locations, we provide unlimited data transfer access. This is very beneficial for you who have news websites or online stores with thousands of images accessed by many people every day. Meanwhile, for Singapore locations, there is a monthly quota limit starting from 1,000 GB. This amount of 1,000 GB is actually very large and more than enough for normal website usage for a full month.

Important Notes for Users

If you're unsure, it's best to start with a smaller package first. At Flaz Cloud you can always increase server specs anytime if you feel your application needs more power. This way you don't have to spend a lot of money upfront and can adjust costs as your website grows.
