About BuyVM
Hosting options
Slice tiers distinguish fair-share CPU on smaller configurations from dedicated CPU usage on larger ones. Read the allocation for the actual tier rather than treating every Slice as the same CPU product.
Stallion is the server management panel for power operations, reinstalls and networking. Slabs add block storage within a facility; they are useful when the application needs more space without selecting a larger compute tier. The wiki covers server operations separately from the sales pages, including networking and storage setup.
Prices and billing
The catalog mixes annual and monthly billing depending on the tier. Automated backups and protected IP addresses are separate options. Use the configured order total when combining a Slice with storage or protection.
Where your data is hosted
BuyVM offers Slices in Las Vegas, New York and Luxembourg. Stock varies by location and configuration, so check availability before planning a move.
Support
Stallion, the client area and the BuyVM wiki provide distinct places for server controls, billing and technical instructions.
Things to consider
Slices can be upgraded, but cannot be downgraded because shrinking the disk can lose data. Plan storage growth with that restriction in mind. A Slab in one facility is not automatically portable to another location.
