VPS Deposit Gate
VPS Apps require a one-time minimum deposit of $1 to unlock access. Additionally, deploying a VPS instance requires a balance greater than $3 at deploy time. This applies to all VPS deployment methods (dashboard, AI Deploy, API).Technical Specifications

- CPU Performance: High-performance vCPUs
Memory
- RAM Type: DDR4 ECC RAM
Storage
- Storage Type: NVMe SSD for all tiers
- I/O Performance: High I/O operations per second (IOPS)
- Extra Storage: Additional NVMe SSD can be added at deployment for $0.10 per GB per month
- Backups: RepoCloud does not provide instance-level backups—use your application’s built-in backup tools (e.g., n8n workflow exports, WordPress backup plugins) and export important data regularly
Networking
- Network Speed: 1 Gbps connections
- Bandwidth: Unlimited bandwidth (data transfer in is free; data transfer out is priced at $0.10 per GB as listed on the pricing page)
- Network Security: DDoS protection
- SSL Support: Free SSL certificates included
Choosing the Right Tier
When selecting a resource tier, consider these factors:Application Requirements
Different applications have different resource needs:WordPress
WordPress
- Small Blog: Tier 1-2
- Medium Site: Tier 3-4
- Large Site: Tier 5+
- WooCommerce: Tier 4+ (depending on product count)
Databases
Databases
- Small Database: Tier 2-3
- Medium Database: Tier 4-5
- Large Database: Tier 6-7
Development Tools
Development Tools
- Git Repositories: Tier 2-3
- CI/CD Tools: Tier 3-5
- Code Servers: Tier 3-4
Content Management
Content Management
- Small CMS: Tier 2-3
- Medium CMS: Tier 3-4
- Enterprise CMS: Tier 5+
Traffic Patterns
Consider your expected traffic patterns:- Low Traffic (< 10,000 visits/month): Tier 1-2
- Medium Traffic (10,000-50,000 visits/month): Tier 3-4
- High Traffic (50,000-200,000 visits/month): Tier 5-6
- Very High Traffic (200,000+ visits/month): Tier 6-7
Data Processing Needs
Different data workloads require different resources:- Basic Data Storage: Tier 1-3
- Data Analysis: Tier 4-5
- Large Datasets: Tier 5-7
- Real-time Processing: Tier 5-7
Moving Between Tiers
How your instance moves between tiers depends on the deployment type:- VPS Apps use fixed tiers exclusively. You can resize to a larger tier from the manage page. Disk downgrades are not possible.
- Container Apps with autoscaling move between tiers automatically based on demand — no action needed. Fixed-tier Container Apps can be resized manually.
Autoscaling vs. Fixed Tiers
RepoCloud offers two approaches to resource allocation:Fixed Tiers
- Predictable Costs: Fixed monthly pricing based on the selected tier
- Guaranteed Resources: Consistent resource allocation regardless of usage
- Simplicity: No need to monitor or manage scaling
- Best For: VPS Apps and Container Apps with consistent resource needs
- IPv4 Included: Every VPS instance includes a dedicated IPv4 address at no extra charge
Elastic Autoscaling (Container Apps Only)
- Cost Efficiency: Pay only for resources actually used
- Dynamic Adjustment: Resources scale up and down based on actual needs
- Optimal Performance: Automatically handles traffic spikes
- Best For: Container Apps with variable resource needs
Additional Resources
Beyond the base resource tiers, you can also add:- Additional NVMe SSD storage: $0.10 per GB per month
- Data Transfer In: $0 per GB (free)
- Data Transfer Out: $0.10 per GB
