Sign inWhich RDP plan do you need? A CPU and RAM guide
Basic, Standard, Professional or Power: match the size to the job instead of guessing.
Start from the work, not the spec sheet
More vCPUs and more memory cost more, so the cheapest plan that runs your software smoothly is the right one. This guide maps common jobs to our four sizes. Every plan includes full administrator access, the Windows licence and a dedicated IP. Prices below are per month on yearly billing.
The four sizes
- Basic, $9.99. 1 vCPU, 2 GB. One light application, a single script, or a clean Windows machine for testing.
- Standard, $13.99. 2 vCPU, 4 GB. Everyday work, a couple of bots, shared accounting for a small office. Our most popular size.
- Professional, $27.99. 4 vCPU, 8 GB. Several MetaTrader terminals, SEO tools running side by side, or a small team. Our recommended plan for most professional use.
- Power, $48.99. 6 vCPU and up, 16 GB and up. Rendering, video encoding and heavy multitasking. Larger sizes are on the plans page.
Use-case examples
Each terminal is its own process and every open chart uses memory. Four cores and 8 GB leave room for indicators and for Windows itself.
These tools run side by side and open many browser tabs. Four cores and 8 GB keep them from fighting for memory.
A shared Tally company with a handful of users runs well on 2 vCPU and 4 GB.
CPU rendering and batch encoding scale with core count. Start at 6 vCPU, and move to a Dedicated CPU plan when you want the cores reserved for you.
A scheduled script or a clean Windows install for testing needs little. Start small.
Three rules that save money
- Size for the job you run today. You can move up the day you need to.
- Pay yearly if you plan to keep the server. The price per month is lower than monthly billing.
- Pick the city first for latency-sensitive work such as trading. See all locations.
