Choosing dedicated server hardware
Choosing dedicated server hardware
Each listing shows these specifications when they apply.
| Spec | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Server type | Dedicated is a standard server; GPU includes a graphics card for compute or rendering workloads. |
| Region | Choose the region closest to your users. |
| CPU | More cores help parallel work (many services, containers, databases); higher clock speed helps single-thread-heavy software such as many game servers. |
| RAM type & size | DDR4/DDR5 differ in speed; ECC memory corrects errors and suits databases. Size to your working set plus headroom. |
| Storage type & size | NVMe is fastest, SSD is a strong middle, HDD is cheapest per GB for bulk storage. RAID means redundancy — check the listing. |
| Network speed | The port speed of the server. |
| Uptime SLA | The uptime target stated for the listing. |
| IPMI | Remote power control and console — useful if you need to recover a machine yourself. |
| Delivery time | How long manual setup takes after payment. |
Use the comparison filters
The Dedicated Servers page can filter by region, CPU, RAM size and storage type, and shows monthly price with any setup fee side by side.
Not sure you need dedicated?
A KVM VPS is cheaper and enough for most projects. See Choosing between VPS and Dedicated on our blog.
