VPS Add-ons Explained: Extra vCPU, RAM, Disk, IPs and Bandwidth
Real, current pricing for every VPS add-on RepublicNodes sells — extra vCPU, RAM, disk, additional IPv4 addresses, and extra bandwidth.
VPS Add-ons Explained: Extra vCPU, RAM, Disk, IPs and Bandwidth
Jumping a full VPS tier isn't always the right move — sometimes you just need a bit more of one specific resource. Every KVM VPS plan on RepublicNodes supports five add-ons you can attach independently, each billed monthly alongside your VPS.
Current Pricing
| Add-on | Unit | Price per unit (1 month) |
|---|---|---|
| Extra vCPU | per vCPU | ₹199.00 / $2.21 |
| Extra RAM | per GB | ₹25.00 / $0.28 |
| Extra disk (NVMe) | per GB | ₹6.00 / $0.07 |
| Additional IPv4 address | per IP | ₹300.00 / $3.33 |
| Extra bandwidth | per 100 GB | ₹75.00 / $0.83 |
These scale linearly with quantity — e.g. +4 GB RAM is exactly 4× the per-GB price, +2 IPv4 addresses is exactly 2× the per-IP price. Pick the quantity you need from your service's Upgrade page at checkout, or add it later without recreating your VPS.
How Each One Actually Works
- Extra vCPU / Extra RAM — applied directly to your VM's resource limits on the hypervisor. Takes effect on the next reboot (RAM) or immediately (vCPU, in most cases).
- Extra disk — grows your VM's NVMe volume. You'll still need to extend the filesystem/partition inside the VPS yourself after the disk grows on our side (standard for any VPS provider — we can't safely do that for you without knowing your partition layout).
- Additional IPv4 addresses — a real, separate public IPv4 assigned to your VM, not a NAT'd port forward. Useful for running multiple services that each need to bind their own IP (multiple websites with their own SSL on port 443, a second mail-sending IP, etc.).
- Extra bandwidth — added straight on top of your plan's included monthly quota, from the moment you buy it. If your VPS is already throttled from hitting 100%, buying extra bandwidth lifts the throttle immediately rather than waiting for the next billing period.
When to Use an Add-on vs. Upgrading
A rough rule: if you only need more of one thing and your other resources are comfortable, an add-on is usually cheaper than a full tier upgrade. If you're pushing limits on RAM and CPU and disk together, a tier upgrade (which raises all three, plus your included bandwidth) is usually the better value — compare the total add-on cost against the next tier's price before deciding.
