Use this quick decision guide to pick a line first, and then pick the size within that line by budget. Exact resource allocations (CPU cores, RAM, and disk) are shown on each product's own page in the client area; the tables below give you the position of each size within its line so you can compare tiers.

A general rule of thumb: the last digit or the size letter indicates the relative power within a line. The bigger the number (or the later the letter: S < M < L < XL < XXL), the more CPU, RAM, and disk you get — and the higher the monthly price. Pick the smallest size that comfortably runs your workload, because you can always upgrade later (see Scaling Your Virtual Server).
