A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is like having your own server inside a powerful machine: guaranteed resources, root access and total freedom. But not all VPS perform the same. Here is what you should look at:
1. Real CPU and RAM
Distrust offers with "8 vCPU" that never mention the processor. A modern AMD EPYC delivers twice the performance of a 10-year-old Xeon. For a website or store that is just starting out, 2 vCPU + 4 GB of RAM is the sweet spot.
2. NVMe storage, not just "SSD"
A Gen4 NVMe reads at 3,500 MB/s versus 550 MB/s on a regular SSD. Your WordPress will load in half the time and Google rewards that in search rankings.
3. Traffic and Anti-DDoS included
Avoid plans that charge per GB or leave you stranded during an attack. Unlimited traffic and Anti-DDoS protection should come as standard.
4. Support that answers
When your store is down on a Sunday at 11 PM, a bot will not help. Demand human support with response times measured in minutes.
Bottom line: our VPS Pro (2 vCPU · 4 GB · 120 GB NVMe for $14/month) covers all of this and is up and running in 15 minutes.
