Dedicated Servers Pricing

A Dedicated Server is a physical server where all the resources of one machine are dedicated to a single user. Unlike a Shared Hosting server, where resources are distributed among the respective users, Dedicated Servers for hosting let you benefit from every resource available such as RAM, storage, computing power, etc.

By offering you more power and adaptability than other hosting options, Namecheap’s Dedicated Servers are best recommended for those who have a technical background, i.e. those who are comfortable with managing and configuring servers with root access.

Typically, Dedicated Server Hosting is used to benefit the following: high-traffic websites, website and business applications, content streaming, podcasting, machine learning, big data, storage, infrastructure virtualization, and game servers.

When you buy a Dedicated Server for hosting, you receive one physical server with the highest level of access as well as complete freedom over its usage. Unlike a Cloud VPS, there is no virtualization layer with Dedicated Hosting Servers so all its physical resources are available to you. A Dedicated Server also allows you full management control over its configuration and installations.

Absolutely. If you want to upgrade your current hosting plan with Namecheap or transfer an existing hosting account with a third-party provider, please get in touch with our 24/7 Support. They’ll recommend a dedicated server that best suits your needs and advise you on how to proceed. Check out more details on the hosting transfer process.

As many as you like. Although Namecheap does not set any limits on the number of websites you can host, this number depends on a few factors: 1) the amount of resources provided with your server and the technologies you use, 2) your bandwidth requirements and 3) if you have an HTML-designed website or a CMS-based website. Due to the static nature of an HTML-designed website, you can host more websites. With CMS-based websites, you can host fewer websites due to an increase in RAM and CPU processing.

There is no additional setup fee for hosting Dedicated Servers. Once you’ve bought your Dedicated Server, our Risk Management specialists check your order and forward it along to our Tech Team. Here, they set up a server with the Linux-based operating system (OS) such as CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, CloudLinux or AlmaLinux, as well as other addons of your choice. From there, you’ll receive a Welcome Email with your access details and additional instructions. On average, the dedicated server setup process takes less than 4 hours to complete. The exception is for Dedicated Server customers who choose Complete Server Management, which may take longer. If this is the case, our 24/7 Support Team will personally reach out to you.

Due to technical restrictions, a virtual local area network (VLAN) cannot be set up or installed by you. Please get in touch with our tech support team by submitting a ticket to Hosting (VPS and Dedicated Servers).

A CXS is a tool that performs active scanning of files as they are uploaded to the server. It can detect suspicious files found on the server, as well as prevent most (but not all) exploits from being uploaded or run on the server. Additionally, CXS allows you to perform on-demand scanning of files, directories, and user accounts to detect suspicious exploits, viruses, and resources. CXS license is installed for free for VPS Quasar and Dedicated plans with the Complete Management.
