What is a dedicated server?

Last updated:

A dedicated server is physical hardware reserved for one customer. Resources are not shared; you get root access and hardware choice—high performance without buying the box yourself.

Versus VPS and cloud

VPS/cloud runs on a hypervisor with shared or quota capacity and scales in minutes. Dedicated gives you the full CPU, RAM and disks with no noisy neighbors.

Steady high load, special storage or license constraints usually favor bare metal for predictable results.

When dedicated, when cloud?

Stable long-lived workloads lean dedicated; bursty or short-lived environments lean cloud. Hybrid setups are common.

Security, backup and monitoring are separate layers—plan them regardless of server type.

DGN dedicated

Dedicated packages run from our Bursa data center with 24/7 support. See dedicated server and pricing pages for current models.

Quotes land faster when CPU generation, disk type (SSD/NVMe), RAID and outbound traffic profile are clear.

Cost and TCO

Hardware amortization sits with the operator; you pay a monthly service fee—OpEx instead of CapEx.

Ask about backup space, extra IPs, firewall and high outbound traffic—common hidden costs.

Quick answers

Root access?

Yes. You administer the server; our team covers facility and first-response support.

How fast is provisioning?

In-stock models are typically quick; custom builds are timed in the quote.

Hard to move to cloud later?

Same-facility cloud or hybrid moves are plannable; migration scope depends on the workload.
