High-end hardware, near-native storage performance, no overprovisioning — and fair pricing powered by automation. See how we compare to typical cloud and hosting providers.
| Feature | Bthorio | Other providers |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud storage speed | Local NVMe — near-native IOPS | Network-attached storage — higher latency, lower throughput |
| Overprovisioning | Conservative ratios — your resources are real | Heavily overprovisioned — performance drops under load |
| Hardware generation | Current-gen AMD EPYC, Ryzen, Intel Xeon | Often older-generation CPUs |
| GPU availability | RTX 4090 & RTX 5090 dedicated servers | Limited or no GPU options |
| DDoS protection | Always-on, included on every IP | Often paid add-on or not available |
| Traffic model | Fair-use — no per-GB billing | Metered traffic with overage charges |
| Support | 24/7 engineers — no bots, no scripts | Tiered support, paid premium plans |
| Pricing transparency | Public pricing, no renewal surprises | Promotional pricing, hidden renewal increases |
| Automation | Highly automated — fair prices through efficiency | Manual processes, passed on as cost |
| Data residency | EU (Frankfurt), GDPR-compliant | Varies — often US-based |
Our Cloud VMs use local NVMe drives — not network-attached block storage. That means near-bare-metal IOPS and microsecond latencies, even on the smallest plan. Your database doesn't share a SAN with thousands of other tenants.
Many providers sell more resources than their hardware can deliver, betting that not everyone uses their allocation at once. We keep conservative overprovisioning ratios so your vCPUs and RAM perform as advertised — consistently, under load.
We run current-generation AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon processors, DDR5 memory, and enterprise NVMe SSDs. Our dedicated servers offer RTX 4090 and RTX 5090 GPUs. We don't cut costs on hardware — we cut them through automation.
We invest heavily in automating provisioning, monitoring and operations. That lets us keep prices fair without sacrificing quality. No sales calls, no hidden upsells, no renewal surprises — just straightforward monthly billing.
| Feature | Cloud Machines | Dedicated Servers |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware isolation | KVM-isolated on shared host | Full physical server |
| Storage | Local NVMe SSD (40–640 GB) | 4 TB NVMe SSD |
| CPU | 1–16 vCPUs (current-gen) | Full AMD Ryzen / EPYC / Intel Xeon |
| GPU | Not available | RTX 4090 / RTX 5090 |
| Scaling | Resize in minutes | Add hardware on request |
| Starting price | From €4.90/month | From €149/month |
| Best for | Elastic, bursty workloads | Stable, heavy workloads |
Typical web applications benefit from the quick scaling of Cloud Machines. Spin up multiple VMs, load-balance across them, and scale down during off-hours.
Recommended: CloudHeavy databases with consistent IOPS demand benefit from dedicated NVMe and full CPU allocation. No noisy neighbors, no performance variance.
Recommended: DedicatedGPU-accelerated workloads require dedicated RTX 4090 or 5090 hardware. Cloud Machines don't offer GPU — for AI/ML, dedicated is the way.
Recommended: Dedicated GPUNon-production environments don't need full hardware isolation. Cloud Starter or Standard VMs give you what you need at a fraction of the cost.
Recommended: CloudCompetitive gaming needs consistent low latency and zero contention. Dedicated servers with high-frequency CPUs deliver the smoothest experience.
Recommended: DedicatedMulti-tenant SaaS apps often combine both: Cloud VMs for application tiers and a Dedicated server for the database. Mix and connect via private VLAN.
Recommended: HybridNetwork-attached storage adds latency and shared throughput. Our Cloud VMs read and write to local NVMe drives directly — delivering near-native speeds without SAN bottlenecks.
Many providers allocate more vCPUs and RAM than their hardware can actually deliver, hoping not everyone uses their share simultaneously. We keep conservative ratios so your resources perform consistently, even during peak hours.
Yes. Many customers run their application tier on Cloud VMs and their database on a Dedicated server. Both connect through a private VLAN at no extra cost.
We automate provisioning, monitoring and operations heavily. Lower operational overhead means we can offer high-end hardware at competitive prices — without cutting corners on quality or support.
Absolutely. Start with Cloud and move to Dedicated when your workload demands it. Our support team helps with migration planning.
Yes. Every Bthorio IP — Cloud or Dedicated — is protected by always-on DDoS mitigation at no extra cost.
Both Cloud and Dedicated are billed monthly with no minimum commitment. Cancel anytime with 14 days notice.
