What 8 vCPU cores or more gets you
Eight or more vCPU cores are for CPU-heavy work: large build servers, game servers for many players, video processing, scientific jobs or running small AI models on CPU. At this size, check whether the cores are shared or dedicated and how much RAM comes with them, because the cheapest 8-core plans often pair many cores with little memory.
For the best balance of RAM, CPU and storage for the money in this list, our pick is Contabo Cloud VPS 8 with 24 GB RAM and 8 vCPU at $13.44 a month.
