Your questions answered

How do I choose a dedicated server?

The right dedicated server for you depends mainly on your specific needs and the way you want to use it. However, whichever one you choose, it’s important to consider the key features of the server, such as memory (RAM), storage capacity, and bandwidth. We also recognise that budget is an important factor to consider. That’s why we have created several Eco dedicated server ranges, namely Kimsufi, So you Start and Rise, so that each customer can find the machine that best suits their needs and budget.

Whatever the model or range, our Eco dedicated servers offer reliability and optimal performance to help you grow your business while respecting your budget constraints.

How does a dedicated server work?

A dedicated server is a type of server that is dedicated exclusively to one person or organisation, and is hosted on the internet to host something like a website or application. Unlike shared servers, where resources are shared between multiple people or entities, a dedicated server offers optimal performance and full control over its resources.

And dedicated servers do not use a virtualisation layer to distribute resources, like virtual servers do, meaning all the resources can be allocated to the user. What's more, the users has full control over their machine, from its security to its configuration.

A dedicated server is made up of several elements, such as the random access memory (RAM), processor and storage space. A business or organisation would typically opt for a dedicated server when they need higher performance than a shared server, or want complete control over their machine.

What are the advantages of a dedicated server?

Fully-dedicated resources for your project
The most significant advantage of a dedicated server is the power it offers in terms of computing, data processing, and storage capacity. Unlike a shared hosting or cloud solution, all your server’s resources are allocated to you. Because there is no virtualisation layer, your applications are fully benefiting from the dedicated resources.

Choice of distribution
To get started using your dedicated server, you need to install an OS. OVHcloud offers a range of operating systems that are available to install automatically, and they all operate on an optimised platform. This includes Windows Server, Linux and UNIX operating systems, as well as Plesk and cPanel control panels, not to mention SQL Server for databases. Your server adapts to your needs.

Root access to control your server
The advantage of a dedicated server is that you are free to configure it as you wish. In addition to choosing your operating system, you have root access to your machine. Manage, configure, and secure your server using the command line or through a management interface, without technical constraints. You can take advantage of our expertise and our datacentres, while remaining in control of your server!

What do the setup fees include?

The setup fees cover the cost of assembling and connecting your server in our datacentres. These upfront fees are only billed once, when the service is set up. This means they are not linked to your commitment period.

The setup fees for your dedicated server are free for any commitment periods of 12 months or longer.

When can I order the add-on options offered?

The add-on options are available at the server configuration step. You can also order and enable them directly via the OVHcloud Control Panel, after your service has been delivered.

How do I contact technical support?

You can contact technical support by phone or by raising a ticket for Rise servers.

For more information, visit our customer support page.

What are the advantages of the vRack private network?

OVHcloud offers a virtual private network (vRack) which has several advantages for organisations and companies.

  • Network isolation: the vRack isolates network traffic from your dedicated servers, VPS, or cloud instances, greatly enhancing the security of your infrastructures. This means you can connect your servers to one another in a dedicated private network, out of range of public internet traffic.
  • Business Continuity: by using vRack, you can configure redundant connections between your servers and your OVHcloud datacentres to ensure business continuity and high availability.
  • Flexibility: the vRack enables servers to be connected in different datacentres and even in different countries, providing the flexibility to configure distributed, redundant infrastructures.
  • Manageability: the vRack is compatible with all major network protocols, including VLAN, VXLAN and NVGRE, allowing for easy and efficient management of your private network.
  • Lower costs: by using vRack, you can reduce connectivity costs between your servers and datacentres, saving you money on your network budget.
