• CPU Cores - This property defines the number of virtual CPU cores seen. This sets an upper limit on the maximum possible amount of computer power usable.
• CPU Priority - This is how much of a CPU you are promised minmum usage of, if the system has all CPU resources in use at full capacity. This is fairly unlikely, and in most cases you will burst to much higher usage percentages.
• RAM - This is the amount of memory available for use. This is largely application dependant, use this as a guide.
• SWAP - Only used on Linux systems, equivalent to the page file but uses a dedicated disk. 1GB is enough in almost all cases, no matter how little, or how much RAM is installed.
• Disk - Generally speaking Linux base installs use around 3GB and Windows uses 10GB though quickly another 10GB for continued operation, updates and the page file. Add to this applications and the amount of data you need to store with room to spare.
• Network - 100Mbps network connections are provided by default, additional speeds from 101Mbps through 1000Mbps are available but attract a proportional additional monthly cost.
