Dedicated Servers

You choose a dedicated server when performance, security, and stability are non-negotiable. Because the resources are 100% yours, you achieve consistent processing speeds and faster disk I/O, which is critical for databases and high-traffic websites. Furthermore, a dedicated server offers enhanced security; since you are the only tenant on the machine, you eliminate the risks associated with shared environments. It is the ideal solution for businesses that need to adhere to strict compliance regulations or require intensive computing power.

NovoServe stands out because we are infrastructure experts specialised in bare metal. We own and manage our own network (AS24875 & AS939) and operate directly from Tier-III data centers in Europe and North America. This means we aren't reselling someone else's service—we control the quality from the ground up. With NovoServe, you get enterprise-grade hardware (HPE & Supermicro), a massive 16Tbps+ network capacity for low latency, and a team of passionate engineers available 24/7/365 to ensure your dedicated server runs smoothly.

Choosing the best dedicated server depends on your specific workload. First, define your use case and project type, be it SaaS, streaming, AI? Choose the right CPU, determine RAM needs, pick storage (SSD, HDD, RAID). Evaluate also your network demand, ensure enough bandwidth for data-heavy applications. You would also need to ensure compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, depending on your industry, and consider the security level of your server provider.

We understand that in the digital world, speed is everything. We maintain a large stock of pre-configured dedicated servers in our data centers. For our standard "Instant Delivery" and promo configurations, we can often deploy your server within hours. For custom-configured servers where we need to adjust RAM, storage, GPU to your specifications, our typical delivery time is extremely fast, ranging from 1 to 5 business days.

The main difference is ownership. With dedicated server, you rent the hardware from NovoServe. We are responsible for the hardware maintenance, replacements, and upgrades. If a drive fails, we replace it for free. This is a CAPEX-free model. For colocation, you buy and own the server hardware yourself and ship it to our data center. You rent only the rack space, power, and internet from us. You are responsible for maintaining your own hardware. With NovoServe, you don’t need to go to your data center.

A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a "slice" of a physical server. A hypervisor software splits one big server into many small virtual servers. While a VPS is cheaper, you share the underlying physical resources (network port, disk I/O, CPU cache) with other customers. A dedicated server gives you the entire physical machine. There is no virtualization layer (unless you install it yourself), meaning no performance overhead and no resource contention. Dedicated servers offer significantly higher raw performance than a VPS.

Public Cloud (like AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) offers flexibility but can become extremely expensive at scale, and performance can be unpredictable due to the shared nature of the platform. Cloud billing is often complex and variable. A dedicated server offers predictable, flat-rate monthly pricing. You know exactly what you will pay, regardless of how hard you push the CPU. For stable, always-on workloads, a dedicated server is often 50% to 70% cheaper than a comparable public cloud instance.

At NovoServe, we believe in transparency. Your monthly rental price includes the hardware, the standard power allocation, and a generous traffic package. We do not charge setup fees. Optional additional costs would only arise if you choose to upgrade your hardware (e.g., adding more RAM) or if you choose to upgrade your bandwidth package to a higher unmetered tier.

The physical distance between your server and your end-users dictates the speed of your application. You can select our European Hubs (Netherlands or Denmark) to serve customers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa with minimal latency, connecting directly to major internet exchanges like AMS-IX. Alternatively, choose our North American Hubs in the New York area for ultra-low latency access to the US East Coast, Canada, and transatlantic connections to Europe. 

The chassis determines the physical expandability and density of your server. For web servers, firewalls, and compute nodes where rack space efficiency is key, a 1U Chassis like the HPE ProLiant DL360 offers immense power in a slim profile. If you are building a GPU server or a setup requiring multiple expansion cards, a 2U Chassis (like the HPE DL380) provides better airflow for high-performance components. For massive storage density, such as backup servers or data archives, our 4U Storage Chassis can hold 12, 24, or even 36 hard drives. 

Your CPU choice defines your server's character. If you need raw speed for gaming servers, high-frequency trading, or applications that rely on per-core performance, the Intel Xeon Scalable & E-Series are historically favored for their high single-core clock speeds. Conversely, for virtualization (VMware/Proxmox), containerization (Kubernetes), or rendering farms, the AMD EPYC is the king of multi-threading, offering up to 96 cores per socket to run hundreds of parallel tasks. 

Memory acts as the high-speed workspace for your CPU, and we use exclusively ECC (Error-Correcting Code) RAM to prevent system crashes. For web hosting and entry-level applications, 32GB to 64GB is ideal. The sweet spot for high-traffic e-commerce sites and virtualization nodes is typically 128GB to 256GB. For large-scale in-memory databases like SAP HANA or Redis, or for AI model training, you will likely require 512GB up to 1TB+ of RAM. 

Storage isn't just about space; it's about speed (IOPS). NVMe SSDs are the fastest option available, connecting directly to the PCIe bus for blazing read/write speeds, making them essential for operating systems and transaction-heavy databases. SATA SSDs offer a reliable balance of speed and capacity for standard applications. For bulk storage, backups, and media streaming libraries where capacity is king, SATA HDDs (Spinning Disks) offer the lowest cost per terabyte. Don't forget to select a Hardware or Software RAID level (like RAID 1 or RAID 10) to secure your data against drive failure. 

This is your server's pipe to the outside world. First, choose the size of your pipe (Port Speed), ranging from 1Gbps up to 100Gbps to handle traffic spikes without congestion. Next, select your Bandwidth Package. We offer Standard packages (25TB - 100TB) suitable for most enterprises, or Unmetered (Unlimited) packages which are essential for streaming, CDNs, and file hosts, allowing you to push data 24/7 at your full port speed with zero overage charges. 

We automate the installation so you are ready to go immediately. You can choose from a wide range of Linux distributions like Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, AlmaLinux, or Rocky Linux.
