RootServer-KVM-Basis

KVM-based root server

With our root servers, we offer high-performance vServers based on KVM with guaranteed RAM and CPU resources. Thanks to KVM, our root servers offer almost all the functions of a dedicated server. Additional features such as the ability to create snapshots or maintain the vServer remotely via VNC console open up a wide range of use cases. Thanks to the general use of branded hardware, redundant uplinks and a redundant power supply, our vServers offer optimum availability for professional use. Decide for yourself which operating system and management system you want to use on your vServer. You can customize all server services and install software yourself via SSH and the web VNC console. You can start, stop, reboot and import images with our admin panel SCP (Server Control Panel) software. The SCP also provides you with extensive traffic statistics, the option of inserting a CD-ROM or DVD and creating snapshots of the vServer's hard disks. The SCP makes managing a vServer particularly easy.

Dedizierter-vs-RootServer

Dedicated server vs. root server

A dedicated server is a separate piece of hardware that is exclusively available to you for your applications. A root server is operated on a host system alongside other virtual machines. However, this does not mean that no dedicated resources are available to you: Rather, the root server combines the advantages of a dedicated server with those of a virtualized system. With both systems, you have full root access to the server's operating system. This means that you have the highest level of administrative control. These servers are particularly suitable for experienced admins with extensive Linux knowledge who want to customize the operating system and system configuration according to their own ideas. With a dedicated server, the performance of the system is available to you at all times without restrictions. With our root servers, we also guarantee this for the CPU cores booked and the RAM provided. A virtualized system, on the other hand, offers you functions that are often not available with dedicated servers, or are only available in a roundabout way: You can conveniently create snapshots, for example, before making major configuration adjustments. The system is conveniently controlled via a web interface (Server Control Panel), which you can use to install images, insert CDs or DVDs and which also includes a web VNC console. If you appreciate the advantages of both dedicated servers and virtualized servers, a root server is the best choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a root server?

A root server is a server where you have full administrative access (root access). You receive clearly defined resources that are available to your server. You can run individual system software and have complete administrative control. A root server therefore requires knowledge of the administration of server systems.

What can I do with a root server?

Root servers are ideal for store solutions, large websites, mobile app services or as email servers for companies and private individuals with larger projects. This allows you to operate with maximum flexibility, security and quality with maximum performance.

What is the difference between a dedicated server, a root server and a VPS?

A dedicated server offers exclusive access to a physical server for your applications, while a root server also provides full root access to the operating system. The root server is suitable for more experienced administrators who prefer full control. With a VPS, on the other hand, you get virtual CPU cores. 

Where is the location of my root server?

At netcup, we offer you Vienna (Austria), Nuremberg (Germany), Manassas (USA) or Amsterdam (The Netherlands) as the location for your root server. The location can be selected when purchasing the server. The designation 'VIE', 'NUE', 'MNZ' or 'AMS' means that the physical location of the server is in the data center in Vienna (Wien), Nuremberg (Nürnberg), Manassas (Manassas) or Amsterdam (Amsterdam). The selection 'no preference Europe' means that the root server is hosted in Vienna, Nuremberg or Amsterdam depending on available capacity.  

What are the advantages of a root server?

Overall, using a root server provides the flexibility, performance and control required for demanding Internet applications and services.

  1. Complete control: As the operator of a root server, you have full control over the configuration, resource allocation, and security guidelines. This allows you to adapt the server environment to your specific requirements and react flexibly to changes.
  2. High performance: Root servers are often operated on high-performance hardware that enables fast data processing and transfer. This is particularly important for applications that have high computing power and bandwidth requirements, such as large databases, e-commerce websites, or multimedia streaming services.
  3. Customizability: With a root server, you can customize the operating system environment and software to your liking. This allows you to install and configure specific applications or services that are optimized for your requirements.
  4. Data protection and security: By managing your own root server, you can implement the security measures that meet your data protection and security requirements. You have control over access to the server and can implement measures such as firewalls, encryption, and regular security updates.
  5. Independence from third-party providers: With your own root server, you are not dependent on third-party providers to manage your Internet infrastructure. You have full control over your server environment and are not dependent on the guidelines or restrictions of other companies.
  6. Development freedom: For developers, a root server offers maximum freedom in the development and provision of applications.You can use different programming languages, frameworks and libraries and adapt the server environment as required to develop innovative solutions.
