NVMe VPS in India: storage for work that waits on the disk
Every VPS here has an NVMe disk, from ₹287 a month or ₹0.56 an hour before GST. This page explains what NVMe changes for a buyer compared with SATA SSD, which workloads feel it, and what each small size costs.
NVMe against SATA SSD, in general terms
A shorter path to the disk
SATA SSDs are limited by an interface designed for spinning disks, with a single command queue. NVMe talks to the processor over PCIe and supports many queues in parallel, so many small reads and writes can be in flight at once.
Lower latency, more IOPS
In general terms NVMe answers each request sooner and handles more requests per second than SATA SSD. The gap shows most in small random reads and writes, which is what databases, mail and package installs do all day.
Measure your own workload
A virtual disk also depends on the hypervisor and on how busy the host is, so measure your own workload rather than trust any single number. Deploy by the hour, run your test and delete the server.
Our own benchmark, with method
We published a benchmark of NVMe on our cloud VPS with its method. Read the NVMe benchmark post and repeat the test on a server of your own.
Workloads that wait on the disk
- MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL with many small queries
- WordPress, Magento and other PHP sites with large caches and indexes
- Mail servers and search indexes with many small files
- Build servers and CI runners that unpack and compile many files
- Docker image pulls and container start-up
- Anything you reboot often: the server comes up sooner when the disk answers sooner
What NVMe does not fix
- NVMe helps work that waits on the disk. A CPU-bound job, or a site limited by its network or its code, will not speed up.
- The disk is part of the plan: you get the size listed for each plan. Cold files and large backups belong on object storage, not on NVMe.
- The hardware is shared, so results depend on the host. Measure before you rely on a figure.
- RAM still matters. A database with enough RAM for its working set reads the disk less often.

When NVMe will not change much
- A mostly static site served from cache: it rarely touches the disk.
- A CPU-heavy job such as video encoding: the processor is the limit.
- Large archives and backups: use object storage and keep NVMe for what is read and written often.
NVMe VPS in India, answered
What is an NVMe VPS?
A VPS whose virtual disk sits on NVMe flash storage instead of SATA SSD or spinning disks. NVMe connects over PCIe and handles many requests in parallel, so small reads and writes finish sooner.
How much faster is NVMe than SATA SSD?
It depends on the workload, so we give no single figure here. In general NVMe has lower latency and handles more operations per second, mostly for small random reads and writes. Our NVMe benchmark post shows the method for our servers.
Will NVMe make my website faster?
Only if the site waits on the disk. A database, a large WordPress site or a mail server often does. A cached static site, or one limited by CPU or network, will not change much.
Do all your VPS plans have NVMe?
Yes. Every plan on the pricing page has an NVMe disk of the size shown, and the disk is part of the plan price. The prices on this page come from the live catalogue.
Where should I keep backups and cold files?
On object storage, not on the NVMe disk. S3-compatible storage suits files that are written once and read rarely, and it keeps them off the server.
How is it billed, and is there GST?
Hourly billing, 1-hour minimum, no term, or a monthly or longer term. Every price on this page is before GST; GST at 18% is added and you get a GST tax invoice. The servers are in our datacentre in Noida, India.
Put your workload on NVMe by the hour
