General-purpose Computing

2026-03-23 09:53:29

General-purpose computing cloud servers share the host machine's CPU resources, providing basic levels of vCPU performance, balanced computing, memory, and network resources. However, if the host load is heavy, there may be unstable computing performance.

Compared to enhanced general-purpose computing-plus cloud servers, general-purpose computing cloud servers provide more cost-effective resources while ensuring basic performance, making them suitable for users who are more sensitive to costs, as well as scenarios with less performance fluctuation and higher tolerance for performance jitter.

  • Available specifications for sale: s7, s3, s2, m2

Application Scenario

  • Small website

  • Lightweight development and testing environment

  • Small databases, etc
