GigsGigs Cloud SG-VDS-CN-E5-03, $ 89.00/mo.

SG VDS CN E5 03 is marketed as a performance focused configuration in the Singapore virtual dedicated server family and carries a monthly price of 89 USD. On the comparison chart it sits in the upper middle of the range and offers a larger chunk of dedicated Intel Xeon E5 CPU resources, significantly more ECC RAM and additional local disk space relative to the lower tiers. This makes it attractive for busier application stacks, content management systems with high read and write activity, busy game servers or customers who wish to consolidate several services onto a single virtual dedicated machine. The plan continues to include a dedicated bandwidth commit and a traffic allowance that matches its role as a workhorse configuration, utilising the same China optimised mix of carriers highlighted elsewhere on the page. A dedicated IPv4 address is provided and customers can generally order additional addresses if their use case requires them. SG VDS CN E5 03 is effectively a bridge between mid range and high end VDS options, combining a still manageable monthly cost with the kind of CPU and memory allocations that used to require bare metal hardware.

The Singapore virtual dedicated server line is introduced as a way to give customers dedicated resources and predictable performance while retaining the flexibility and cost structure of virtualised solutions. Marketing on the page explains that each VDS is powered by dedicated Intel Xeon E5 processors with eight physical cores per CPU, and that CPU cores, memory and local storage are reserved for each VDS instead of being oversold. This makes the platform attractive for medium to large production workloads, e commerce stores, databases, game servers, proxy servers and other applications that would outgrow a typical VPS but do not yet need or justify a full bare metal machine. Storage is offered in a choice between larger capacity SAS disks for data heavy workloads and faster SSD storage for I O intensive use cases, and customers can choose the profile that best matches their needs when ordering. The specification tables highlight generous allocations of ECC RAM and local disk as you move up the range, along with dedicated network speed and traffic allotments so you can plan around a known capacity rather than bursty shared bandwidth.

In terms of platform features the Singapore VDS plans share a number of common capabilities. One Click operating system reinstallation is available from the client area using a template library, reducing the time needed to recover from a broken configuration or repurpose the server. For advanced users the provider offers customised and manual ISO installation so you can boot your own ISO images, install unusual operating systems or use automated provisioning tools. The systems support Windows Server 2016, Ubuntu 18 and common Linux distributions, and the marketing copy explicitly mentions that both Linux and Windows are supported so that you can run whatever stack is appropriate for your workloads. Each VDS is equipped with an integrated remote reboot and KVM console giving you out of band access even if the network stack is misconfigured, and the network is described as China optimised with routes through PCCW, Tata, NTT and Equinix to provide better connectivity to Chinese and regional users. The order section emphasises that these are self managed servers with dedicated CPU cores, ECC RAM and local disk allocations, and that the price point is designed to be a compromise between low cost shared hosting and high end bare metal dedicated machines while still offering predictable performance and dedicated bandwidth.
