Why NetActuate Virtual Machines

Dedicated Compute Resources

All VM instances are backed by dedicated (non-shared) compute resources. This ensures consistent performance without noisy neighbors.

Network Ready

All VMs come with 10 Gbps port speed, dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, unlimited inbound transfer (outbound transfer based on contract).

Flexible Configuration and Pricing

Configure the exact amount of RAM, CPU, and Storage you need and see exactly what you’ll pay before you deploy.

Compute Options

Choose between General Compute with competitive pricing, and AMD EPYC with highly optimized processors, storage, and hardware.

Powerful Networking

Connect to one of the world’s largest peered networks with reliable, low-latency services using BGP Anycast.

Support

We build direct, trusted relationships with our customers to deliver superior support, responsiveness, and operational alignment.
