Product Description Dedicated Servers

A dedicated server is a physical server of a prebuilt or custom configuration, all resources of which are available only to you. Servers are located in server rooms at Servercore data centers.

To work with the product, the Servercore product access control model is supported: user types, roles, projects.

To get started, order a dedicated server.

Use cases

hosting large websites, online stores, and SaaS services with constant traffic;
hosting databases;
environment for development and testing;

How it works

You can order a server:

in the Control panel;
using the Dedicated Servers API;
using Terraform.

When ordering a server from the control panel, you can choose a server:

prebuilt configuration – they are assembled, tested, and installed in racks in advance. The server will be available for work from two minutes after placing an order (excluding OS installation time);
custom configuration – the server is assembled to order from components that you select in the configurator. When ordering, you can select any configuration for your tasks. Server preparation takes from one to five business days.

When ordering a server via Terraform, you can only order servers of a ready-made configuration.

How to work with a dedicated server

After the server is handed over, you can manage it:

To manage the server remotely, connect to the dedicated server.

You can track metrics for dedicated servers using the Metrics service.

Records of operations with dedicated servers are saved in audit logs.

Servercore provides

uninterrupted power supply to equipment, climate control;
service maintenance;
connection to a private network and the internet.

Servercore is not responsible

for the configuration and maintenance of server software;
creation and storage of backups.

You administer the dedicated server yourself: install and configure the necessary software, and set up backups. Learn more about available solutions in the Dedicated Server Backups manual.

Pricing

A dedicated server is paid according to the selected tariff plan and traffic consumption model. The tariff plan determines the duration of the paid period and the payment amount, while the traffic consumption model determines the traffic limits included in the tariff plan. Learn more in the Dedicated Server Billing Model and Prices manual.

Limits and restrictions

Access to BIOS settings is not provided. Servers are commissioned with optimal settings and maximum performance. Any interference may lead to instability and accelerated wear, and will disable automatic OS installation and disk clearing.

When ordering a dedicated server, limits are automatically applied to network equipment. These limits work for both private ports and internet ports. Learn more in the Network Limits per Dedicated Server Port manual.

By default, any dedicated server is assigned a limit of 25 MAC addresses per switch port.

For a dedicated server, there are broadcast traffic limits (broadcast, unknown-unicast, and multicast) of 10 MB/s per port for each individual traffic type.
