Higher Disk IOPS and Network Speed for VPS and VDS Servers

We’ve rolled out a performance update that increases both disk and network limits for several server types. These changes are effective as of January 21, 2026, and apply to new server orders or after a server reinstallation.

#Increased disk IOPS limits

The disk subsystem limits have been raised for both VPS and VDS servers:

• VPS servers: from 6,000 to 10,000 IOPS
• VDS servers: from 60,000 to 100,000 IOPS

This update improves disk performance for workloads that rely on frequent read and write operations, especially when working with smaller files or data blocks.

#Higher network speed for Performance VDS

We’ve also increased the available network speed for Performance VDS servers:

• From 1 Gbps to 3 Gbps

The total amount of included traffic remains the same, but higher throughput allows data to move faster when bandwidth is needed.

#What this means for your workloads

These updates are most noticeable in scenarios that involve:

• Small file operations
• Databases and caches
• CI workloads
• Applications with frequent disk access
• High-throughput data transfers on Performance VDS

Read and write operations on smaller blocks, roughly in the 4 KB to 64 KB range, will benefit the most.

#Availability

The new limits apply to:

• Newly ordered servers
• Existing servers after reinstallation

If you’re running performance-sensitive workloads and want to take advantage of the higher limits, a reinstall is required.

If you have questions about how this affects your setup, our support team is happy to help you review your options.
