Choose how the processor is shared

Every class ships the same hardware menu and the same Ubuntu Server 24.04 (LTS) 64-bit image. What changes is how the processor is shared — and the price moves with it.

Availability

Budget friendly

Shared processor time. Cheaper, and fine where an occasional slow moment costs nothing.


$144.45USD

per month

General purpose

Recommended

Consistent processor time without paying for cores you rarely saturate.


$155.45USD

Hourly only

Burstable

Burst capable

Cheap while idle and throttled under sustained load — the opposite trade to this one.


$0.3192USD

per hour — booked for a window, not subscribed

Book by the hour

Add cores for a heavy period and take them off afterwards — by hand, on the same server, usually within the hour.

What you are actually buying

Every hosting company sells cores. The difference is whether they are yours when you need them, or yours when nobody else is using them.

No noisy neighbour

On a shared class another customer's spike is felt as your slowdown. Dedicated cores remove that entirely — there is nobody else scheduled on them.

Repeatable, not typical

A build, a render or a match tick takes the time it takes. That is worth more than a faster average with an unpredictable tail.

Still one machine

Root access, any image, any port. Dedicated describes how the processor is allocated, not a restriction on what you may run.

Where your server runs

All 24 locations cost the same, so pick whichever sits closest to the people who will actually use the server. Choose the region closest to whoever depends on this server being quick. Dedicated cores fix contention on the machine; they do nothing about the distance to it.

Dedicated Server in South Elgin — FAQs

What makes it dedicated?
The processor cores are allocated to your server and nothing else runs on them. On the shared classes you get processor time when it is available, which is fine until a neighbour gets busy; here there is no neighbour.
When is it worth the difference?
When something on the machine must not slow down at an unpredictable moment — a checkout, a game tick, a build people are waiting on. If the server is idle most of the day, a shared class is the better buy and we will say so.
How fast will it feel from South Elgin?
An estimated 1–2 ms to Chicago, our closest location at 56 km. That is calculated from fibre distance rather than measured, and it is the same for every hardware class — dedicated cores change what happens on the machine, not how far away it is.
Can I change the size later?
Memory, cores and disk all go up on the same server, by hand, usually within the hour. No rebuild and no new IP.
How much does a dedicated server cost in South Elgin?
From $166.45 USD per month for 8 GB RAM · 4 Cores · 200 GB. The same price applies in all 24 locations.
