When should I move from Budget to Intermediate?
If you are noticing "hitching" in your game server, or if your RAM usage is consistently above 80%, it's time to move to the Intermediate tier. The extra CPU overhead and memory ensure your users have a lag-free experience even during peak hours.
Can I easily upgrade to a High-End Ryzen 9 VPS later?
Yes! You can upgrade your plan at any time through our client area. The process is automated, so you can scale up as your community hits its next milestone. Your data stays intact and the migration is near-instant.
Can I migrate from another host to GoodLeaf Intermediate?
Absolutely. Our support team can assist with one-click migrations from other providers. Whether you're moving from a competitor or upgrading from our Budget tier, we'll help get your data transferred with minimal downtime.

Is the DDoS protection active 24/7?
Yes. Our 17Tbps Path.net mitigation is always-on. It automatically detects and filters malicious traffic before it ever reaches your VPS. This includes Layer 3/4 volumetric filtering and custom Layer 7 rules tuned for gaming traffic.
What type of storage do Intermediate plans use?
Intermediate plans use NVMe SSD storage — no SATA bottlenecks. This means significantly faster read/write speeds for your databases, game assets, and application files compared to traditional spinning drives or even standard SSDs.
What are the network speeds?
Intermediate VPS plans include 10Gbps burst with 1Gbps dedicated uplink, backed by premium Tier-1 peering. Combined with our owned infrastructure across Miami, Dallas, New York, California, and Amsterdam, you get reliable low-latency connectivity.

What support do you offer?
Every plan gets the same 24/7 priority support through live chat, Discord, email, and our ticket system. Because we own our infrastructure and have physical access to our racks, our team resolves most issues in minutes.
