Infrastructure: hardware, network and locations

The platform

A virtual server is only as good as the machine and network under it. This page lists what ours are and why each one matters.

Updated

What hardware do Rackyard servers run on?

These details apply to every VPS plan and VDS plan.

Compute

Processor
Intel Xeon Gold 6138 in Delhi, AMD EPYC 7662 in Miami, AMD EPYC 7702P in Germany

Model and generation decide per-core speed far more than the vCPU count does.

Virtualisation
KVM

Full hardware virtualisation: your server runs its own kernel, separate from every other customer.

Storage

Backups and snapshots
One snapshot included with every VPS and VDS

A snapshot saves your server as it is, so you can roll back after a change that goes wrong.

What uptime does Rackyard commit to?

Service level

Our monthly availability target is 99.9 percent. For every 2 hours of downtime in a month we add a free day to the service. The SLA explains how it is measured and claimed.

Incidents and maintenance

We do not run a public status page yet. If your service is affected by an incident, contact support and we will tell you what we know.
