Measure the working set
Run the workload on a smaller plan and record peak memory, CPU and disk. Choose Nebula when the measured peak plus headroom is beyond 32 GB.

64 GB VPS hosting · Nebula
Nebula is our largest plan: 12 vCPU, 800 GB SSD, unmetered transfer. We have no measured results at this size, so this page is about deciding, not about what fits.
Nebula from $89.99/month · USD · availability varies by region
Overview
Nebula tops our servers page. Our only reference at this size is an untested calculation in the ARK guide. So the useful question is how to decide, not what fits.
The ARK guide suggests Nebula for a two-map cluster at 16 GB per map, by its own arithmetic rather than a test.
With 800 GB of SSD, a big database or media set can live on one server. Daily backups and up to seven snapshots are included. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot recreate.
A single large server concentrates risk: one failure affects everything on it. Independent services on smaller plans isolate failures. Decide on your recovery needs.
Workflow
Measure on a smaller plan first, then buy for the peak.
Run the workload on a smaller plan and record peak memory, CPU and disk. Choose Nebula when the measured peak plus headroom is beyond 32 GB.
Decide how you would restore your data and how long you can be down. Test a restore before you rely on the server.
Check whether the workload divides into services that fit on smaller plans, then compare the monthly price of each approach.
Three things worth settling before you order the largest plan.
Daily backups are included and you can keep up to seven free snapshots. Snapshot before risky changes.
Unmetered means no per-GB transfer charge. The acceptable use policy applies, so review it for your workload.
Stock for the largest plan can differ by region. This page promises no availability, so confirm it in checkout.

We have no measured results for this size. Our ARK guide suggests it for a two-map cluster by its own arithmetic. Measure your workload on a smaller plan first.
No availability is promised by this page. Check stock for your chosen region in checkout.
It depends on whether the workload can be split. Several servers isolate failures but need more management. One big server is simpler and concentrates risk.
Use the migration guide and comparison wizard to plan it: copy the data, test the new deployment, and switch traffic only after validation.
Unmetered means no per-GB transfer charge. It does not mean unlimited throughput, and the acceptable use policy applies.
