GigsGigs Cloud SG-VDS-CN-E5-01, $ 49.00/mo.

SG VDS CN E5 01 is the entry level Singapore virtual dedicated server shown in the comparison table at the bottom of the page. The price is displayed as 49 USD per month and the card labels it as a VDS on dual E5 processor, indicating that the underlying node is built on dual Intel Xeon E5 CPUs with a portion of those cores dedicated to this plan. The feature bullets describe a configuration with a modest number of dedicated CPU cores, ECC RAM sufficient for smaller production workloads and a local storage allocation on either SSD or SAS disks depending on your preference when ordering. Network wise the plan includes a dedicated bandwidth commitment and a data transfer allowance sized for entry level hosting, along with access to the China optimised route described on the page. It also includes at least one dedicated IPv4 address so that you can run normal hosting stacks, SSL enabled sites or custom services on their own IP without relying solely on name based virtual hosting. SG VDS CN E5 01 is positioned as a cost effective way to move from shared or VPS hosting into a world where CPU and memory are reserved specifically for your applications but the overall monthly fee is still accessible to hobby projects, testing environments and smaller businesses.

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.
