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](https://tihost.io/en/blog/how-much-ram-vps).

## 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](https://tihost.io/en/blog/power-vps).

## Which location to choose for Advanced

In Germany and Finland, Advanced runs on the Ryzen 9 5950X with a 1 Gbps uplink; in Poland it runs on the Ryzen 9 9950X with up to 10 Gbps and costs about 25% more. Germany is usually enough for an online store or an API; for game servers and heavy builds, Poland is worth the premium.
