Dedicated servers: when and why

A dedicated server gives you an entire physical machine. No noisy neighbors, full hardware access, and resources that scale to whatever the CPU/GPU/NIC can deliver.

When to pick dedicated over VPS

• Your workload needs more than 128 GB RAM or 16+ dedicated cores.
• You need RAID1/RAID10 for data-critical apps.
• You run anti-cheat drivers that don't virtualize well.
• You host a large FiveM / Rust community with 200+ concurrent players.
• You need predictable disk I/O for heavy databases (Postgres, MySQL).

Provisioning

Dedicated provisioning takes 2–48 hours depending on the exact spec — the box is physically racked, OS is installed and credentials are sent. Express delivery (

IPMI / KVM-over-IP access

Every dedicated box gets a management interface (IPMI) separate from the OS. Use it to:

• Watch BIOS / POST output at boot.
• Mount a custom ISO for a fresh install.
• Hard-reset the box if the OS is unresponsive.
• Reset the root password via rescue mode.

Network and DDoS

Dedicated IPs come with the same DDoS protection as Gaming Hosting — GCore Anycast + TNI scrubbing. 1 Gbps uplink is default; 10 Gbps is available on request.

Cost comparison

Dedicated is 2–4× more expensive than a similarly spec'd VPS at face value — but if you're using all the hardware, the per-unit cost is equal or better. Ask sales for a tailored quote.
