Dedicated servers

This page covers dedicated servers — an advanced option for businesses that have outgrown shared hosting.

On shared hosting, even a private bench still shares the underlying server with others. A dedicated server gives you your own compute resources for your sites, so performance isn’t affected by anyone else.

Dedicated servers come as a pair — an Application server and a Database server — created in the same region. You can size each independently.

  • Isolation — your sites don’t share resources with other customers.
  • Run as many sites as you like“sites on these servers don’t cost you anything extra,” so you can host as many sites and bench groups as the server can handle, for one predictable cost.
  • More control — SSH access and database management are available.

From Servers in the dashboard, create a new server, choose the region and the plan/size for the application and database servers, and launch it. You can then create sites and benches on it.
