Server types
Essential information for choosing the right server for your tasks
There are 3 types of servers that differ in operation logic, price, and tasks they are designed for, including VPS, VDS, and dedicated servers. Let's look at each of them and their corresponding tasks in detail:
Virtual servers ("Shared" and "Dedicated")
"Shared" virtual server
A type of server that uses software partitioning of physical server hardware capacities with allocation of the capacities paid for by the client. For better understanding, you can compare "Shared" servers to using your PC by several users at once with their personal accounts.
Our hosting provides "Shared" servers with personal unique IP addresses and allows ordering additional IPs if necessary. It also has the ability to use Anti-DDoS protection for your website.
The main advantage of "Shared" servers is their affordable price and high characteristics relative to the low cost. They are perfect for hosting small personal websites, personal VPN, or developing larger projects and their initial testing, including testing individual scripts.
They have the ability to scale characteristics with the possibility of increasing them to perform your tasks.
You can also rent a "Shared" server for several hours to check its characteristics and performance for your usage scenarios.
"Dedicated" virtual server
A more powerful type of server that uses physical partitioning of server capacities, which is the reason for the higher cost compared to "Shared" servers with similar characteristics. When using "Dedicated" during the rental period, you get personal ownership of the physical part of server hardware characteristics, so you can be sure of 100% availability of selected capacities at any time during rental, regardless of server overloads by neighboring users.
Additionally, you get full control over the use of root (for Unix OS) or Administrator (for Windows OS) rights, allowing fine-tuning of the server for your own project needs.
It has minimum limitations, having a limit only on the number of resources you paid for.
"Dedicated" servers are suitable for the most demanding business tasks using complex calculations like 1C or Bitrix, which require maximum use of server resources. It also has the ability to use Anti-DDoS protection for your website.
They have the ability to scale characteristics with the possibility of increasing them to perform your tasks. We explained how to do this here.
You can also rent a "Dedicated" server for several hours to check its characteristics and performance for your usage scenarios.
Hi-CPU servers
A subtype of "Dedicated" servers that includes all their advantages and has impressive processor characteristics AMD Threadripper 3990X and Intel Core i9-12900k, including high-performance NVMe storage and up to 32GB RAM.
Perfect for high-demanding gaming projects, as well as complex calculations, including in 1C and Bitrix.
They have the ability to scale characteristics with the possibility of increasing them to perform your tasks.
You can also rent a "Hi-CPU" server for several hours to check its characteristics and performance for your usage scenarios.
Dedicated personal server
A type of server that provides clients with personal exclusive rental of an entire server assembly (physical computer). Unlike other types of servers, it provides full ownership of server hardware, allowing deep configuration of system characteristics usage, as well as getting maximum performance at a more favorable price than required by virtual "Shared" and "Dedicated" servers.
This type of server is preferable for creating large internet portals, online stores, and web services, including complex computational tasks.
Personal server does not have the ability for rapid scaling of characteristics, so we recommend purchasing the necessary processor configuration for your own tasks in advance.
When purchasing a dedicated server, you can always contact your personal manager for help and agree on the possibility of increasing RAM and NVMe storage, communication channel, and including data transfer in case of transition to a more powerful plan.
The main advantage of Dedicated servers is their complete autonomy from other users and impressive characteristics that are at the limits of modern server technology capabilities.
You can always contact our support to agree on personal characteristics of any server, including "Shared", "Dedicated" and Dedicated servers, as well as ask questions of interest to choose the optimal plan for your tasks.
