VPS, VDS and Minecraft hosting The cloud is Physical
Rackyard is a new host for VPS, VDS, Minecraft and Discord bots. Every plan says what it runs on.
Position
Know the machine
Virtual servers are usually sold as a count: so many cores, so much memory, and nothing about what sits underneath. Four vCPUs can mean very different things from one host to the next.
Rackyard lists the processor, the memory and the storage behind every plan, so you can judge the performance you are paying for before you pay for it.
Specifications you can check, not adjectives.
Anatomy
What you are buying
A server is compute, memory, storage, network and power. Here is what each part means for the plan you choose.
Chassis
The host
Every virtual server runs on a physical machine. Its processor sets the ceiling for every plan on it, which is why each plan names the one it runs on.
INTEL XEON AND AMD EPYC
Storage
The drives
Storage decides how quickly a database answers and a server boots. Every plan states how much it includes, so you can size it before you order.
LISTED ON EVERY PLAN
Thermal
The cooling
A processor that runs hot slows itself down. Sustained performance depends on the machine around the chip as much as on the chip.
SUSTAINED LOAD
Compute
The cores
On a VPS, cores are shared and scheduled between customers. On a VDS, they are reserved for you. Every plan says which it is.
SHARED OR DEDICATED
Power
The building
Power, cooling and connectivity come from the data centre. We run in India, Germany and the USA, so you can keep your server close to your users.
INDIA, GERMANY AND THE USA
Nothing left out
Cores, memory and storage. Every plan lists all of them, and a VPS or VDS says whether its cores are shared or yours alone.
One becomes many
Start with one virtual server. Move to dedicated cores when the workload needs them, and to dedicated hardware when we offer it, without changing provider.

What we commit to
Specifications you can check
Every plan states its processor model, memory and storage, not just a core count. What the page lists is what your server gets.
Shared or dedicated, labelled
VPS plans share processor time; VDS plans reserve cores for you. Each plan says which, so the price difference is easy to understand.
Terms in plain language
Prices, billing cycles, refunds and what happens when you cancel are written down before you pay, in words a person can read.
Incidents reported honestly
When something breaks, we say so: what happened, who was affected and what we changed so it does not happen again.

Common questions
Can I order a server today?
Yes. Plans marked available can be ordered from the pricing page.
What is the difference between a VPS and a VDS?
Both are virtual machines with root access. On a VPS, processor time is shared between customers on the same host, which keeps the price down and suits workloads that are busy in bursts. On a VDS, cores are reserved for you, so CPU performance stays consistent whatever other customers are doing.
Do you offer an SLA?
Yes. The SLA sets a monthly availability target of 99.9 percent. For every 2 hours of downtime in a month, we add one free day to the affected service, up to 30 days a month.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Your first service can be cancelled for a full refund within 3 days of paying for it. Within 15 days of any payment, we give a calculated refund for the unused days if a fault on our side stops the service working and we cannot fix it. After that, downtime is compensated with free days on the service under the SLA. The Refund Policy has the details and exceptions.
