Your questions answered
How do I choose a dedicated server?
Choosing a dedicated server depends primarily on your needs and the way you want to use the machine. Whatever your choice, however, it’s important to consider the main features of your server: RAM, storage capacity and bandwidth. We know that budget is an important factor to you. That’s why we have implemented several Eco ranges (Kimsufi, So you Start, Rise), so you can find a machine that suits you best.
Whichever range you choose, our Eco dedicated servers come with the reliability and performance you need to grow your business – while remaining within your budget.
How does a dedicated server work?
A dedicated server is a type of server hosted on the internet, to put something like a website or application online. It is used exclusively by one person or organisation. Unlike a shared server where resources are shared between multiple users, a dedicated server offers optimal performance and full control over the machine's resources.
And unlike the cloud, dedicated servers have no virtualisation layer, so all resources are allocated to the user. You also have control of your machine, from its security to its configuration.
A dedicated server is made up of several components, including RAM, processor, and storage space. It can be used for a number of projects, such as hosting websites, business applications, or online games.
What are the advantages of a dedicated server?
There are many advantages to using a dedicated server.
- All the resources dedicated to your project: with a dedicated server, you get the machine’s entire resources, unlike shared hosting or the cloud. This includes compute capacity, data processing and storage. Since there is no virtualisation layer, your applications can make full use of the dedicated resources.
- Choice of operating system : To set up your dedicated server, you need to choose the operating system you want. OVHcloud offers different pre-installed distributions, such as Windows Server, Linux, UNIX, as well as control panels like Plesk and cPanel.
- Full control with root access: one of the key benefits of a dedicated server is the total control it provides. With root access, you can manage, configure and secure your server via a command line or a management interface. This way, you can take advantage of OVHcloud expertise and datacentres, while maintaining full responsibility over your machine.
What do the setup fees include?
The setup fee is the amount you are charged to assemble and connect your dedicated server in our datacentres. These upfront costs are billed once, at the time of service setup, and are not dependent on the contract duration. Please note that for contracts of 12 months or more, setup fees are free.
When can I order the add-on options offered?
You can order add-ons as soon as your dedicated server is configured. After the service has been delivered, you can also order and enable options directly via the OVHcloud Control Panel.
How do I contact technical support?
To contact technical support for Kimsufi servers, you can call us or the ticketing system. For more information, visit our customer support page.
