A budget VDS on the Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4
The Xeon E5-2699 v4 is a server processor from Intel's Xeon E5 v4 family: 22 cores / 44 threads, 55 MB of cache, a 2.2 GHz base clock and up to 3.6 GHz turbo. Because it is an older generation with a lower clock, this product has the lowest per-resource price in our catalogue.
Budget does not mean shared resources. The vCPU, RAM and storage listed in the plan are reserved for you with no overselling; storage is NVMe SSD as on every other plan, the servers run at the DGN Data Centre in Bursa and traffic passes through the same layered DDoS protection. The only difference is the processor.
This processor is right for work where continuity and the amount of resources matter more than per-core speed: Discord and Telegram bots, forex terminals (MT4/MT5), small websites, test and development environments, many light game instances on one server (CS2, SA-MP/MTA) and ARK cluster maps.

Processor figures are Intel's published specifications. The vCPUs reserved for your VDS are threads of this processor; the running core clock varies with load and temperature.
When is a budget VDS the wrong choice?
When your workload depends on the speed of a single main thread. FiveM, crowded Minecraft or Rust servers, databases dominated by long single queries and busy PHP-heavy sites stay noticeably slower on a 2.2–3.6 GHz core; there, the saving turns into lag your players see.
For that work the Ryzen 9 7950X (highest single-core performance, DDR5) or the i9-10920X (higher clock, lower per-resource price than Ryzen) is the right choice. Keep the Xeon for workloads that care about continuity and the amount of resources rather than core speed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Details about the packages, setup flow, and customer panel features offered for Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 on this page.
- Why is the budget VDS cheaper?
- The difference comes from the processor. The Xeon E5-2699 v4 is an older generation with a lower clock (2.2 GHz base, up to 3.6 GHz turbo), so the per-vCPU and per-GB RAM price is lower. Reserved resources, NVMe storage, the Bursa location and DDoS protection are the same as on the other plans.
- What is a budget VDS good for?
- Work that must stay up but is not sensitive to core speed: Discord and Telegram bots, MT4/MT5 terminals, small websites, test environments, many light CS2 or SA-MP/MTA instances and ARK cluster maps. For FiveM or a crowded Minecraft server choose the Ryzen 9 7950X or the i9-10920X.
- Are resources shared on a cheap VDS?
- No. The vCPU, RAM and storage in the plan are reserved for you and the virtualisation layer does not oversell. The lower price comes from the processor's generation and clock speed, not from sharing resources.
- Which projects are a Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 VDS suitable for?
- A Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 VDS can be used for game servers, web applications, APIs, databases, and development environments. Your purchase allocates the vCPU, RAM, and disk capacity shown in the selected package, not the entire physical processor.
- Which values should I compare when choosing a Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 package?
- Use the vCPU, RAM, and disk values in the package table. This product can be configured from 1–32 vCPU, 1–64 GB RAM, and 30–250 GB disk. Choose according to your application's requirements and expected concurrent users.
- Which operating systems can I install?
- The configurator for this product includes CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, and Windows Server templates. During ordering or reinstallation, you can select one of the active versions currently listed.
- Which network speeds are available for this server?
- This product offers shared network options at 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps. Any price difference for the selected network option is included in the order summary before payment.
- Can I add a snapshot backup to my order?
- Yes. In addition to ordering without backups, this product includes an option for 1 weekly snapshot. The current additional fee is shown in the configurator; keeping a separate application-level backup is still recommended for critical data.
- When does server provisioning start?
- Automated server provisioning starts after payment is verified. You can follow the service status in the customer panel while setup is in progress and view the access credentials in the service details when it completes.
- Where can I find the server IP address and credentials?
- When setup is complete, the server IP address, username, and password are displayed in the service details within the customer panel. This information is only visible after signing in to your account.
- Can I manage the server from the customer panel?
- Yes. From the service details you can start, stop, or restart the server and reinstall it using one of the supported operating system templates.
- Can I view CPU, RAM, and network usage in the panel?
- The server metrics section in the customer panel shows CPU, RAM, disk, and supported network data. Historical usage charts also help you evaluate resource requirements.
- Can I upgrade vCPU, RAM, and disk later?
- You can request vCPU, RAM, and disk upgrades within the limits supported by the product. Disk downgrades are not supported to avoid data-loss risk, and the price difference is shown before confirmation.
- Can I change the server's rDNS record from the panel?
- You can manage rDNS for eligible IPv4 addresses assigned to your active server through the network tools in the customer panel. The relevant IP infrastructure must support rDNS management.
- How do I connect to Linux and Windows servers?
- Connect to a server installed from a Linux template over SSH and to a Windows Server installation over RDP. The IP address and credentials appear in the service details after setup completes.
