oh man ! I am so tempted to go apply for that vps 5. cause 6 GB ram and non ecc are non issues for me. what is most tempting is the slightly higher powered cpu threads. and 400gb hoarding space is cool too. lol

@Manal
when compared to vps5, are we allowed to use cpu for longer duration on vps 5 at higher utilisation rates ? higher means above 90 percent sustained use of the alloted threads?

Though I remember you saying in reply to the review that cpu in vps 5 was in effect dedicated, unless abused. i am just feeling curious and trying to compare i guess.

@rudra  That is exactly how the VPS came to be available this month - Dynamo suspended the VPS because of high utilisation of CPU.  So "no" it can't be used in that way. There is a very short hop from above 90 percent to 100 percent. If someone is thinking of higher utilisation of CPU as described by you then VPS 5 is not the VPS to use. Again, the requirement from Manal is fair use if you check the VPS Plan.

And for those who don't know, with VPS 4 and 5 there is a zero tolerance policy that applies.  That is why Dynamo acted immediately when he noticed the high utilisation of the CPU. So @Rehan is correct in that regard.  @Honeyust have been lucky he didn't get called out.  However, if you check the TOS of Shadow Hosting the requirements are crystal clear:
