Included with your dedicated server
Guaranteed Bandwidth and Unlimited Traffic
Every dedicated server includes at least 500 Mbps of public bandwidth, with burst ca pability to handle occasional spikes. You’ll also get unlimited inbound and outbound traffic at no extra cost (excluding the Asia-Pacific region), and you can easily upgrade your bandwidth if your needs grow.
vRack Physical Private Network
The ability to create a dedicated server cluster or hybrid infrastructure with a high-bandwidth private network that spans multiple regions. The vRack private network comes included with all dedicated servers, except for those in the Rise and Game ranges.
Service Level Agreement
All of our servers benefit from a service level agreement (SLA), which ranges from 99.90% to 99.99% depending on the range. This guarantees optimal availability for your services.
Anti-DDoS Protection
Every OVHcloud dedicated server includes built-in anti-DDoS protection to help keep your infrastructure secure and online, even during attacks.
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
Each server has a public IPv4 address and an IPv6 address range. As an option, you can rent additional IPv4 addresses for your dedicated server (up to 256 per machine).
IPMI and KVM on IP
The IPMI console can be accessed via the OVHcloud Control Panel or API, and provides you with a direct connection to your dedicated server.
A wide range of operating systems and distributions
A number of operating systems and distributions are available to install automatically via the OVHcloud Control Panel.
Support
When you choose OVHcloud dedicated servers, you get technical support by chat and email.
OVHcloud Control Panel and API
You can manage all of your services via the OVHcloud Control Panel or OVHcloud API.
🚚 What does the delivery time refer to?
The delivery time is the time it takes for your server to be provided to you. This period starts once you have paid for your order. It is given as an estimate and is not a contractual guarantee.
Please note that we work hard to deliver products as quickly as possible.
♾ Is bandwidth usage unlimited?
With OVHcloud, you get unlimited, non-metered traffic included as a standard (excludes data centers located in the Asia-Pacific region).
However, the network resources are shared between customers. Bandwidth has a fair usage rule (apart from users who have signed up for the guaranteed bandwidth option).
To ensure optimal performance for all of our customers, OVHcloud reserves the right to limit a service’s outgoing public bandwidth throughput by up to 50%, if it has a detrimental effect on network quality for other users.
🤖 Why is the anti-DDoS protection included as standard?
At OVHcloud, anti-DDoS protection is a mandatory feature with all our solutions. It guarantees optimal security for your servers and infrastructures. It is vital, because:
- an attack on your server will affect your business, which can result in reduced earnings or an interruption in income
- if access to your website is saturated, it could flood the common networks and affect other customers
Which operating systems and distributions are compatible with Bare Metal servers?
Our dedicated servers support a wide variety of operating systems, distributions, database management tools, and hypervisors. Optimized versions are available to help you get the best performance from your server and the OVHcloud infrastructure, all easily pre-installed through the OVHcloud Control Panel.
What is the difference between the physical vRack private network and a virtual private network?
OVHcloud dedicated servers come with two physical network cards*. One is dedicated to the public network (internet). The other is reserved for the private network. The private network enables your different services to communicate with one another via a dedicated channel, regardless of their location. You get increased flexibility in managing your network, without compromising the availability of your services.
Unlike a physical private network, a virtual private network is a sub-division of the public bandwidth allocated to your server.
*Scale and High Grade servers have four network cards.
🏭 How do I choose my region?
OVHcloud Bare Metal servers are available in data centers worldwide. For the best performance, we recommend choosing a location close to your primary customers and users. This also helps ensure your data storage and processing comply with local laws and regulations.

What is a dedicated server?
A dedicated server, or computing server, is a machine that allocates all of its hardware resources to the user. Unlike a virtual server, which allocates a portion of the resources to virtualization technology, a dedicated server offers you all of its RAM, storage, and computing power. This technology can be applied to cloud computing, while dedicated servers are referred to as ‘bare-metal’. This type of solution emphasizes the physical availability of the server’s hardware resources, in contrast to services based on virtual instances.
Which dedicated server should I choose?
Our dedicated server configurations are specially adapted to suit a wide range of professional uses. Depending on your needs, you can opt for more RAM, more storage space, or a faster processor.
OVHcloud dedicated servers also stand out because of their bandwidth capacity and associated services. You can also use our anti-DDoS solution that is adapted for gaming – and our private network (vRack) can be used to connect your dedicated server to your infrastructure, or even hardware RAID. Choose a configuration that best suits your needs.
Cloud solutions, shared hosting, or a dedicated server?
Two main factors make a dedicated server different from a cloud instance. Firstly, the machine's raw performance is different: there is no virtualization layer consuming resources on a dedicated bare metal server, so you are guaranteed full use of the physical resources. The second difference concerns the level of server administration. With a dedicated server, you manage everything from its configuration to the data hosted on it, and you are also responsible for ensuring that it is secure. This means you can opt for a more advanced installation, which is essential for the use of certain business applications (for example). The main benefit of a dedicated solution is the total freedom you get as an administrator. However, if you would like to avoid technical management and concentrate solely on your web project, then OVHcloud Public Cloud instances are the best solution for you.
What can a dedicated server be used for?
There are many uses for a dedicated server, including big data, machine learning, website and web application hosting, storage and backup, infrastructure virtualization, server clusters, business applications (CRM, ERP), and online game hosting. This is why we offer several different dedicated server ranges, each of which is designed for a specific set of needs. Our sales and support teams will help you with your project and can offer expert advice on which server to choose.
