--- title: "Cheap VPS from R$ 26: Xeon or Ryzen, counted per vCPU" description: "Cheap VPS in Brazil from R$ 26/month. Compare cost per vCPU between Xeon and Ryzen, see when 2GB of RAM is enough and what a VPS without AntiDDoS charges you later." url: "https://streethosting.com.br/en/vps-barata" type: "page" language: "en-US" --- Cost per vCPU, not the shop window price # Cheap VPS in Brazil: where the money goes further The R$ 26 plan gives you 2 vCPU and the R$ 31 plan gives you 1. Which one comes out cheaper depends on whether your workload splits into processes or lives inside a single thread. [See the Xeon VPS from R$ 26](https://streethosting.com.br/en/vps/xeon) [Compare the Ryzen Budget line](https://streethosting.com.br/en/vps/ryzen?line=budget) * São Paulo, Brazil * Anti-DDoS up to 400 Tbps * NVMe Quick answer The cheapest StreetHosting VPS is the 2GB Xeon at R$ 26/month with 2 vCPU, against R$ 31/month and 1 vCPU on the Ryzen 9 5900XT. A workload that opens several processes goes further on Xeon; a single threaded workload goes further on Ryzen. ## Two ways of being cheap: per vCPU or per clock The 2GB Xeon E5-2680 v4 costs R$ 26 with 2 vCPU; the 2GB Ryzen 9 5900XT costs R$ 31 with 1 vCPU. In cost per vCPU that is R$ 13 against R$ 31, more than double, and not the R$ 5 the price column suggests. The gap grows with size: at 8GB the Xeon gives 6 vCPU for R$ 77 and the Budget gives 4 vCPU for R$ 94. What the Ryzen hands back is frequency per core, which no table shows because it is not a quantity, it is a speed. It only turns into money when the process refuses to split. ## How to tell whether your workload wants parallelism or clock Open htop at peak and read the bars one by one. One core pinned at 100% with the others below 20% means the load is stuck in a single thread, and buying vCPU changes nothing. Bars rising together, or a load average above the number of vCPU, means parallel load. The rule: if you can multiply the work across more PM2 workers, more containers or a bigger PHP-FPM pool, the numbers close on Xeon. If it lives inside one indivisible loop, such as the tick of a game server or a Node event loop with no cluster, pay for clock. ## 2GB of RAM: where it holds and where it breaks A lean Ubuntu sits near 150MB at idle, so almost 1.8GB is left. That handles a Discord bot, a Node API, static Nginx, WireGuard or a small Postgres. It gets tight with a JVM, a headless browser, MySQL with the buffer pool on defaults or WordPress with the database alongside. Running out of memory has a symptom of its own: the process disappears with no error in the application log, because what killed it was the kernel. Swap of 1GB to 2GB absorbs the peak, but a machine that lives in swap needs RAM, not a tuned swappiness. ## The hidden cost of a VPS without AntiDDoS There are cheaper VPS offers than R$ 26 on the market, and the cut is almost always in mitigation. With no protection, the reaction to the first attack is to null route your IP for hours, which takes the service down just like the attack does. The bill arrives afterwards: hours offline, a new IP, DNS waiting on TTL and a customer who does not come back. Here AntiDDoS is part of the R$ 26 plan the same way it is part of the 64GB one, the Budget line includes 15TB of traffic and the Ryzen line gives 7 days of guarantee so you can measure the real load. Infrastructure ## What the cheapest plan already brings * KVM with root access: the stack is your decision. * 20GB of NVMe and 10 Gbps of uplink already on the 2GB plan. * AntiDDoS included and activation within 60 seconds. Use cases ## Projects that fit an entry plan * A Discord or Telegram bot, idle all day and busy in bursts. * A Node or Python API with few requests and a small database. * WireGuard, Uptime Kuma and cron backups on the same host. Optimization ## How to cut cost without breaking the service * Measure a week of htop before choosing between vCPU and clock. * Move up one RAM step instead of switching line halfway through. * Quarterly takes off 4% and yearly takes off 10%: close the cycle after you measure. Comparison ## The three lines at the same two sizes Same RAM and same disk. What changes is the vCPU that comes with it and the price of frequency. | Line | 2GB plan | 8GB plan | Goes further when | | --------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | Xeon E5-2680 v4 | R$ 26 with 2 vCPU | R$ 77 with 6 vCPU | the work splits into processes and containers | | Ryzen 9 5900XT | R$ 31 with 1 vCPU | R$ 94 with 4 vCPU | you want high clock without leaving the low price | | Ryzen 9 9950X | R$ 42 with 1 vCPU DDR5 | R$ 126 with 4 vCPU DDR5 | a single thread decides the response time | At 8GB the Xeon gives 6 vCPU for less than the Budget charges for 4. Use all six and it is the cheapest line in the table; leave a core idle and you paid for nothing. Checklist ## Measure this before picking the plan Everything below runs on the machine you already use today. * Open htop at peak and see whether the load stays on a single core. * Compare the load average from uptime with the number of vCPU. * Run free -m at peak and look for a memory kill in dmesg -T filtered by oom. * Measure database and logs with du -sh and see whether 20GB covers twelve months. * Ask your current provider what it does on the first attack. ## Frequently asked questions 01 Which one is really cheaper, the R$ 26 or the R$ 31? It depends on the workload. The Xeon brings 2 vCPU for R$ 26/month, around R$ 13 per core, and wins on a service that splits into processes. The Ryzen Budget brings 1 vCPU of higher clock for R$ 31/month. 02 Do I need more vCPU or more clock? Look at htop during the peak: one core at 100% with the others idle asks for clock, bars rising together ask for cores. In the second case the Xeon delivers more capacity for the same money. 03 Is 2GB of RAM enough for my project? For a bot, a small API, a static site or a VPN, yes: almost 1.8GB is left after the system. For a Java server, a headless browser or WordPress with the database alongside, start at 4GB. 04 Is it worth paying less for a VPS with no AntiDDoS? Rarely. With no mitigation, the provider usually null routes your IP during the attack: offline, a new IP and DNS to propagate. One episode costs more than months of difference in the monthly bill.
