Decision Guide: VPS vs RS

Choose VPS when: dev/test, lightweight portal frontend, budget-constrained projects, bursty workloads where occasional CPU contention is acceptable.

Choose RS when: production databases, AI/ML workloads (Ollama), Docker hosts with multiple containers, any workload running 24/7 that needs guaranteed CPU. The price delta is ~€3-6 per tier — worth it for MSP production workloads.
