Hetzner Cloud or Dedicated

jahrincjahrinc Member
in General

Hello,

I currently run around 55 bots for a game I'm currently playing, now, these bots are quite cpu extensive, so I'm looking somewhere to put them instead on a provider that has quite a bit for downtime issues.

I currently have two E5-2650 v2 4vCores 6 GB ram, windows trial 180 days, vps's with this provider.

Now, one of the servers has an average of 60% cpu usage 24-7, meanwhile the other has around 25%.

My question is, would I be better putting them in a single dedicated such as an E3 1246 V3 or the Hetzner cloud CPX41 (8vcores 16gb ram)

Ram and storage isn't an issue, with 8gb RAM and 100 disk space is more than enough, main concern is cpu.

Any help will be appreciated,

Thanks

    You can try it first. It is billed hourly.

    Hi, thanks for you input. Quick question, how's hetzner with their cpu policy?

    You can check https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/search?q=e3-1246 vs https://browser.geekbench.com/user/vero-servers E3 is almost an equivalent to CCX31 (dedicated CPU). Other cloud servers has worse single threaded performance.

    They don't seem to have such a policy.

    I think you can run such a task without any trouble, but there is no performance guarantee for shared cores.

    Glad I could help.

    For same reason benchmarks are not 100% accurate, but still gives an idea.

    I did both. I first ran video transcoding through Hetzner Cloud. It worked well, but the CPU was throttled sometimes and therefore I had performance issues.

    I moved it to a dedicated server (AX41-NVMe) and this works perfect.

    As for the cloud solution: I asked Hetzner about using their CPU to the max all the time. They were ok with that. They just won’t guarantee you any performance.

    You could try a dedicated Cloud Server or just go for a dedicated machine. It’s damn cheap anyways. ;)

    Hetzner Cloud has just launched 5 Dedicated vCPU Server models to give you better performance and flexibility.
