Dedicated servers – our little decision-making guide

Full performance just for you

We provide you with a complete machine – including full usability over your hardware. It is based in our data centre for your security, but you have exclusive use of it and never need to share it or any of the available resources (in the form of RAM, CPU, web space and much more) with other users. Go ahead: with root access, full administrator privileges and your own static IP address, you can use your dedicated server to do exactly what you want according to your individual requirements. In short, lease a server from NxHost and enjoy full freedom for your projects.

How much power does your project need?

A dedicated server is just the thing for you if a lot of resources are required on a permanent basis, such as for complex, dynamic sites, online shops, VPNs or it as a game or database server. Are static web projects not your thing? Have you put your heart and soul into creating an extensive website full of sophisticated visual effects? Or do you expect a lot of simultaneous access? Should your server be able to easily handle a high volume of database queries and CPU-heavy processes? Then lease a dedicated server and pay particular attention to the processing power, the number of processor cores and memory equipment, because these factors will determine the speed of your system.

Which one? – the SATA/SSD storage question

Your dedicated server should be perfectly tailored to suit you and your project. This is why you have a choice between SATA and SSD storage media. Getting to the heart of the matter, the question is this: reliable and mechanical, or ultra-fast and fully electronic? The more innovative SSD technology, without any mechanical components, provides considerable added performance while costing just a few cents extra. However, the small premium is often more than worth it. If the highest possible IOPS performance is important to you, then a dedicated server with an SSD hard drive will definitely put you ahead of the game. On the other hand, if you are looking for a database server where storage is the main consideration, you will be happier with a SATA hard drive.
