### [<mark style="color:blue;">**vCPU Servers**</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/sections-test/guides/compute-services/compute-engine/vcpu-server)

{% hint style="success" %}
**August 10**

A **vCPU Server** is a new virtual machine provisioned and hosted in one of IONOS's physical data centers. It behaves like a physical server and can be used as a standalone product or combined with other IONOS cloud products. To configure a vCPU Server, choose a preset (**S**, **M**, **L**, **XL**, and **XXL**) that suits your needs. Presets are a combination of specific vCPU-to-RAM ratios. The number of vCPUs and RAMs differs based on the selected preset. You can also tailor the vCPU-to-RAM ratios to meet your requirements—the **Preset** automatically changes to **Custom** when you edit the predefined ratio.
