VPS, Virtual Server and Cloud Instance
VPS and virtual server are market names for virtual-server packages. On PortvMind Cloud that need is Compute: you create and grow servers from the console or API and pay as you go.
Cloud Virtual Servers and Flexible Compute
Per-minute virtual servers that scale with your workload
Regions: tr-ist-01 (İstanbul) · tr-ank-01 (Ankara).
A request from the console or the API lands in the region; the first decision is the flavor that fits the workload.
The chosen vCPU, RAM and disk profile is served from the capacity pool; image, network and volume are prepared in the same step.
The instance comes up and is managed from the console from this moment on.
When load grows the same profile is scaled out; the new node inherits the same network and volume definitions.
Answer
What is Compute?
Compute is an open-source virtual server service. VDS, VPS and cloud server name the same need.
Cost depends on cpu and ram profile, runtime and attached disks, public ip, traffic and backup. Review the current estimate in the cost calculator.Calculate Cost
Live capacity and quota depend on the selected resource; service level terms are explained on the SLA page.
Features
Key Features
- Virtual-server profiles with CPU and RAM sized for the workload
- Block Storage for persistent data and Backup for the protection plan
- Browser console and remote access
- Per-minute pay-as-you-go billing
- Backup for instance protection, backup frequency and the restore path
- Operating-system image, flavor, quota and access chosen on the setup screen
How it works
How the infrastructure works
Sizing a Cloud Virtual Server
Web, database and AI workloads need different resources. Choose a profile in the console and grow the server as demand grows.
What Shapes Virtual Server Cost?
Total cost does not depend on the virtual-server label alone. The CPU/RAM profile, attached storage, backup, public IP, load balancing, data transfer and runtime are priced together. Billing is pay-as-you-go and per minute. You can see current prices in the cost calculator.
Moving an Existing Server
Move your application, disk and DNS records to PortvMind Cloud Compute. Try it on a test server first, then complete the cutover.
Scenarios
Use Cases
- Web and mobile application hosting
- AI/ML model training and inference (with GPU servers)
