【ConoHa VPSとは】
“ConoHa VPS” is a VPS service provided by GMO Internet, Inc. under “ConoHa byGMO,” which has over 750,000 registered accounts (※2).
It features an intuitive control panel and a wide range of templates tailored to different use cases, making it easy and safe to use even for beginners. In addition, it adopts the latest CPUs and ultra-fast NVMe SSDs (※3) to deliver a high-performance server environment. It also employs a distributed storage architecture (※4) and comes standard with an automatic failover (HA) function (※5), ensuring a highly available environment.
Furthermore, there are no initial costs, and there are absolutely no charges for data transfer. We offer two pricing options: a “pay-as-you-go hourly billing type” that allows usage on an hourly basis, and “Matome-Toku (URL: https://www.conoha.jp/vps/discountticket/
)”, a service that provides discounted rates for long-term contracts, enabling you to start using the service at minimal cost whenever needed.

(※3) NVMe SSD is a storage device with extremely fast data read/write speeds. By adopting the communication protocol “NVMe,” which is optimized for SSDs, it enables low-latency and high-throughput access compared to conventional SATA SSDs.
(※4) A system that distributes and stores data across multiple nodes to prevent data loss even in the event of hardware failure.
(※5) Even if the host server accommodating the virtual server experiences a physical failure, the system automatically migrates to another host server and reconstructs the same environment. This minimizes the impact of failures and ensures stable server operation.

【New 128GB Memory Plan now available at one of the lowest prices in Japan!】
As a new server plan for “ConoHa VPS,” we have launched the “128GB Memory Plan,” offered at one of the lowest prices among major VPS services in Japan (※1).
Until now, when building systems that require large memory capacity, it has been common to use “IaaS-type cloud servers” or “bare metal servers,” which generally involve higher costs compared to VPS, both in Japan and overseas. The 128GB Memory Plan of “ConoHa VPS” maintains the low cost unique to VPS while achieving high availability by standardly equipping an automatic failover (HA) function equivalent to IaaS-type cloud servers and adopting a distributed storage architecture with high-speed NVMe SSD. Under hourly billing, it can be used on an hourly basis, making it ideal for short-term use. In addition, as with other plans, “Matome-Toku” is also available.
■128GB Memory Plan Overview

| Memory Capacity | 128GB |
|---|---|
| CPU | 40 Cores |
| SSD | 100GB | Initial Cost | Free |
