Swiss dedicated servers with exclusive physical resources

A Swiss dedicated server is a physical server hosted in Switzerland and allocated to one customer. Unlike a VPS, the customer does not share the physical processor, memory, storage, or server platform with unrelated virtual-server accounts.

Dedicated servers are commonly used for databases, virtualization, private infrastructure, business applications, media processing, storage-intensive services, and production workloads that require physical resource isolation.

Choose the Dual Xeon X5670 server when included memory capacity and a lower monthly price are more important than using a newer processor generation.

En Dual Xeon E5-2680 v4 server is the balanced general-purpose option for virtual machines, business applications, web hosting, and production services.

Choose the Dual Xeon Gold 6138 NVMe server for storage-intensive applications and databases, the Dual AMD EPYC 7452 server for multi-core and parallel workloads, or the Dual Xeon Gold 6430 NVMe server for newer production infrastructure.

A VPS is a virtual machine created on a physical host. A dedicated server allocates the physical machine to one customer. VPS hosting generally has a lower entry price and faster provisioning, while dedicated hosting provides exclusive access to the installed processor, memory, storage, and physical server platform.

Choose a VPS suizo for smaller applications, development environments, and flexible virtual infrastructure. Choose a dedicated server for larger databases, private virtualization, sustained workloads, or projects that require physical resource isolation.

Every listed configuration includes a dual-processor platform, dedicated server memory, 1 TB of SSD or NVMe storage, 100 TB of monthly transfer, IPMI remote-management access, and an IPv6 /64 allocation.

Most configurations list a 10 Gb/s port. The GPU configuration lists a 1 Gb/s port. Exact hardware, inventory, upgrades, and component availability should be confirmed before ordering.

IPMI provides out-of-band access to the physical server without relying on the installed operating system. Depending on the platform, it can provide remote power controls, console access, boot troubleshooting, and virtual installation media.

IPMI is useful when the operating system is unreachable, when you need to change the boot process, or when installing a compatible operating system from custom media.

Deployment options may include Ubuntu Server, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Windows Server, compatible BSD systems, Proxmox VE, and customer-provided installation media.

Exact availability depends on processor architecture, driver support, licensing, control-panel requirements, and compatibility with the selected hardware. Confirm the exact image before ordering because the newest upstream version may not be suitable for every processor generation or application.

Review the dedicated-server operating-system details for the current deployment families shown on this page.

A compatible custom operating system or hypervisor may be installed through IPMI virtual media or remote KVM functionality where supported. The customer remains responsible for confirming CPU architecture, storage-controller, network-driver, boot-mode, and software compatibility.

Ask SwissHosting to confirm custom-media support for the exact server before ordering.

SSD storage is suitable for general production services, websites, virtual machines, application hosting, and workloads that do not require the strongest available storage throughput.

NVMe is the better option for databases, frequent read-and-write operations, high-throughput applications, and workloads where storage latency can affect application performance. The Xeon Gold 6138 and Xeon Gold 6430 configurations include 1 TB NVMe storage.

The current page does not identify a specific GPU model, video memory capacity, driver family, or accelerator architecture. These details should not be assumed from the server name.

Confirm the installed GPU model, available video memory, supported drivers, operating-system compatibility, and current inventory before ordering the Swiss GPU Dedicated Server .

The listed dedicated-server configurations include 100 TB of monthly data transfer. Most plans list a 10 Gb/s network port, while the GPU configuration lists a 1 Gb/s port.

Port speed is the connection capacity and does not mean every application will continuously transfer at that speed. Actual throughput can depend on routing, remote networks, protocols, server load, storage performance, and traffic policies.

The listed configurations include an IPv6 /64 allocation. Confirm the IPv4 allocation, IPv6 routing details, reverse DNS, address-assignment process, and eligibility for additional addresses before ordering.

Custom upgrades may be possible, but they are not guaranteed for every configuration. Upgrade capacity depends on the chassis, motherboard, available memory slots, drive bays, controller, expansion slots, network interfaces, and current component inventory.

Request additional memory, storage, RAID, network, or specialized hardware before ordering. A custom configuration can affect pricing and deployment time.

Root credentials and IPMI access provide administrative control, but they do not automatically include ongoing operating-system or application management.

Unless management is included in a written service agreement, customers should expect to manage operating-system updates, applications, firewall rules, user access, monitoring, security, and backups. Contact SwissHosting before ordering if you require installation, migration, control-panel, or ongoing management assistance.

A compatible control panel may be installed when it supports the selected operating system, processor architecture, licensing model, and server configuration. Examples can include cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, or another administration platform.

Control-panel licensing is separate unless it is explicitly included in the order. Confirm the supported operating-system version and license cost before deployment.

Provisioning time depends on physical inventory, component availability, the selected operating system, licensing, hardware testing, custom upgrades, storage changes, and payment review.

In-stock standard configurations are generally easier to deploy than custom builds, but no guaranteed deployment time should be assumed unless it appears in the applicable SwissHosting order or service terms.

The plan cards show monthly server prices, but they do not establish whether every configuration has no setup charge. Installation, custom hardware, licensing, upgrades, or specialized deployment work may create additional charges.

Review the final order summary or request a written quote before payment.

The listed server specifications do not establish that managed backups are included by default. Customers should maintain an independent backup strategy or confirm whether an optional backup service is available.

RAID can improve availability during certain drive failures, but RAID is not a replacement for separate backups.

Benchmark results vary according to benchmark version, firmware, memory configuration, storage, operating system, cooling, processor topology, and workload behavior.

A dual-processor result should not be calculated by simply multiplying a single-processor score by two. Compare the servers according to processor generation, core density, memory platform, storage type, networking, application requirements, and verified workload testing.

With dedicated hosting, SwissHosting supplies the physical server and rents the configuration to the customer. With Swiss server colocation , the customer owns the physical equipment and places it inside a data-center environment.

Dedicated hosting is generally simpler when you do not already own server hardware. Colocation may be appropriate when you need to deploy equipment that you own or have configured yourself.
