# VPS benchmarks by category

Cross-provider VPS plan categories, like Shared CPU, Dedicated CPU, ARM, and High Memory.

## [Shared CPU](https://74pzd.hatchboxapp.com/vps-categories/shared-cpu-vps-benchmarks)

Plans where vCPUs share physical cores with other tenants. Cheapest per vCPU, with performance that can vary with neighbors.

275 plans, 37 runs

## [Dedicated CPU](https://74pzd.hatchboxapp.com/vps-categories/dedicated-cpu-vps-benchmarks)

Plans with vCPUs pinned to physical cores or threads that are not shared with other tenants.

135 plans, 15 runs

## [General Purpose](https://74pzd.hatchboxapp.com/vps-categories/general-purpose-vps-benchmarks)

Dedicated CPU plans with more than 2 GB and less than 8 GB of RAM per vCPU. The balanced default for app servers and databases that don't lean hard on one resource.

44 plans, 7 runs

## [CPU Optimized](https://74pzd.hatchboxapp.com/vps-categories/cpu-optimized-vps-benchmarks)

Dedicated CPU plans with 2 GB of RAM or less per vCPU. More cores per dollar for builds, encoding, and other compute-bound work.

48 plans, 7 runs

## [High Memory](https://74pzd.hatchboxapp.com/vps-categories/high-memory-vps-benchmarks)
