FAQ - VPS
Q. What are the advantages of VPS? How is it different from a bare-metal server?
Bare-metal servers are ideal for performance-critical usage but have a higher starting cost (minimum €99/month) and are typically available in larger server configurations. Conversely, VPS solutions start from €16/month and are well-suited for lightweight tasks such as proxies, stream subscriptions, and running lightweight scripts.
Our VPS fully utilizes the cloud environment and integrates seamlessly with ERPC’s Direct Shreds network.
- For performance-critical use cases: We recommend a bare-metal server.
- For cost-efficient and lightweight tasks: We recommend VPS.
Q. I want the best possible environment.
The ideal setup combines a dedicated Shreds node with our bare-metal servers. This combination leverages a shared network enabling near-zero latency communication, achieving approximately 0.1ms ping.
For more details, please contact us on our official Discord.
Q. What is the latency like?
Latency greatly varies depending on measurement methods and your environment. Rather than relying on specific numbers, we encourage you to verify whether our service meets your actual requirements through our free trial.
Q. Is this RPC (gRPC, Shreds) faster than others?
You can directly compare performance using our free trial. If you find our service slower than others, please share the specific conditions via Discord. We will investigate and improve accordingly.
Q. Which is the fastest: WebSockets, gRPC, or Shreds?
Aggregated customer feedback consistently ranks the speed in this order:
Shreds > gRPC > WebSockets
If your experience differs, please let us know.
Q. Latency isn't what I expected.
Performance differs significantly depending on the programming language used. Generally, language performance ranks as follows:
Rust > Go > TypeScript (JavaScript) > Python
For detailed comparisons, please refer to:
We strongly recommend Rust if maximum performance is your goal.
