Dedicated Servers

A dedicated server is an entire physical machine (bare metal) rented by only one customer. In shared/VPS environments, resources (CPU/RAM/disk) are shared with other users. While with dedicated hosting you have dedicated physical resources and full control. This provides dedicated performance, stability, and physical isolation for high-load and critical systems.

Managed means server administration, baseline security configurations, updates, and monitoring are handled by our engineers. We install the OS, configure firewall/access rules, perform security patching, and monitor critical services 24/7. As a result, you no longer need a separate system administrator for daily operations - you can focus on your product/business.

In the unmanaged model, you receive the physical resource and Root/Administrator access (with a clean OS or an agreed baseline configuration). Every next step - installing services, security policies, updates, application stack, log/incident management - is your responsibility (or your DevOps team's). We ensure hardware health and network availability.

GPU servers are optimized for massive parallel computing and are ideal for AI/ML model training and inference, 3D rendering, video transcoding, computer vision workloads, and big data analytics. A GPU can perform thousands of operations simultaneously, producing significantly faster results than a CPU for many tasks.

The configuration should be chosen based on workload type: databases require more RAM and fast NVMe/SSD (IO/IOPS), high-traffic web servers need CPU cores and proper caching. While AI/rendering requires the right GPU. If you provide current metrics (CPU load, RAM usage, Disk IO, Traffic), we will help you choose the optimal option.

Security responsibility depends on the service. Physical security and the baseline network layer (network policies/filtering and, when needed, DDoS mechanisms) are our responsibility. On managed services, we additionally manage the OS level, patching, and baseline hardening. On unmanaged services, OS and application security are fully the customer's (or their team's) responsibility.

For critical data, keep backup copies separate from the primary server. Dedicated Server backup options are scoped separately: storage location, frequency, retention and recovery responsibilities are confirmed for the selected configuration. In the Managed model, SERVER1 can help define the server-side backup requirements within the agreed scope.

Yes - migration is possible from another provider or from local infrastructure. Complexity depends on the panel (cPanel/DirectAdmin/Plesk) and the architecture. With a managed service, we help with planning, test migration, and DNS cutover so downtime is minimal and the process is controlled.

In an eCommerce environment, continuity, security, and fast response are critical (inventory/payments/database). If you do not have an internal DevOps/system team, managed is recommended - we monitor the OS, patching, monitoring, and incident response. Unmanaged is the right choice when your team manages optimization, caching, HA/load balancing, and security processes itself.

On Linux servers, primary access is through SSH (Secure Shell). on Windows, through RDP (Remote Desktop). If needed, IPMI or KVM-over-IP is available, giving you a physical-level console (reboot/BIOS/UEFI), even when the operating system does not boot.

Hardware upgrades are possible on dedicated servers, though they often require a planned short downtime because changes are performed physically. Adding RAM/disk is the easiest option (if the platform supports it). While CPU changes are more complex and sometimes require migration to a new configuration. If high continuity is required, it is often better to set up a parallel new server and migrate gradually.

Support is available through the ticket system. Average initial response time is about 15 minutes. Hardware and network incidents are handled with priority for both Managed and Unmanaged services. Managed customers also receive OS/service-level assistance (patching, configurations, monitoring response).

For a full DevOps team, Unmanaged Dedicated is often the best choice: the team has full freedom to build according to its own standards (Docker/Kubernetes, custom networking, CI/CD, hardening policies) and operate without external intervention. Managed is more appropriate when you want to outsource part of the operations or your team needs time to stabilize the infrastructure.

VPS is ideal for startups, testing, and medium-load applications - it is affordable and scales quickly. Dedicated is needed when you require dedicated hardware resources, physical isolation, very high traffic/database load, or specific hardware (for example GPU) that a VPS environment cannot fully provide.

The decision should be based on real metrics: if CPU often stays at 80%+, RAM fills up and the system frequently uses swap, or Disk IO becomes a bottleneck (database/logs/cache), this is a signal to increase resources. Also consider peak traffic, concurrent users, and database queries. Provide your monitoring data/graphs and we will help you choose the right dedicated configuration.
