This configuration is for projects whose database no longer fits an 8 GB cache, CI runners with parallel builds and several websites on one server under a control panel. How to estimate the memory your database and application need is covered in how much RAM a VPS needs.
8 vCPU / 12 GB / 260 GB NVMe - CPU-heavy work
At $28.00 this configuration gives eight cores with the same 12 GB of RAM. It is used for compute: large builds, media encoding, modded game servers, queue workers. If you need many cores and lots of memory at once, see the Power line.
