What You Get with a Fit Servers Proxmox Dedicated Server

Dedicated Bare Metal

Get dedicated physical CPU, RAM, and storage resources without sharing the underlying server with other customers.

Custom OS Installation

Select Proxmox VE as your operating system and we can deploy it on your dedicated server before handover.

Global Deployment

Choose from available dedicated server locations across our global network. Select a location based on your application's users, network requirements, and infrastructure needs.

Flexible Network Options

Choose from available network configurations, including bandwidth options up to 100Gbps where supported by the selected server and location.

Configurable Hardware RAID

Protect your critical virtualization environment against drive failure. Equip your server with a dedicated hardware RAID controller (such as RAID 0, 1, 5, or 10) to optimize disk I/O performance and ensure data redundancy without draining CPU resources.

Proxmox Dedicated Server Cost and Infrastructure Control

Running Proxmox on dedicated hardware gives you control over the physical resources used by your virtualization environment.

Instead of purchasing separate physical servers for every workload, you can use a single appropriately sized server to host multiple virtual machines and containers. The actual capacity depends on the CPU, RAM, storage, network requirements, and workload of each guest.

Predictable Server Billing

Pay for the dedicated server configuration you select rather than a separate Proxmox software fee for each VM.

Resource Consolidation

Host multiple workloads on one physical server when the available hardware resources are sufficient.

No Per-VM Proxmox License

Proxmox VE is open-source and can be used without a per-VM software licensing charge.

Hardware Control

You retain administrative control over the physical server and the virtualization environment.

Server Sizing Guide for Proxmox

Your Proxmox configuration should be based on the resources required by your virtual machines and containers. CPU cores, RAM, storage performance, storage capacity, and network bandwidth all contribute to the overall capacity of a virtualization host.

Tier Typical Configuration Suitable For
Entry Level 4–8 CPU cores, 32GB RAM Development, testing, and smaller virtualization environments
Standard 16–32 CPU cores, 64GB RAM Multiple general-purpose VMs and containers
High-Performance 32+ CPU cores, 128GB–1TB+ RAM Memory-intensive and compute-intensive virtualization workloads
Storage-Focused NVMe/SSD with additional storage where available VM disks, databases, applications, and larger storage requirements
Network-Focused 1Gbps–100Gbps, depending on availability Workloads requiring higher network throughput or inter-server traffic
Note: These are configuration examples, not guaranteed VM capacities. The number of VMs a server can support depends on the resource requirements and activity of each workload.

Proxmox Dedicated Server vs VPS

Choosing between a Proxmox dedicated server and a VPS depends on how much control, hardware access, and virtualization flexibility your infrastructure requires.

A Proxmox dedicated server gives you an entire physical server on which you can create and manage multiple virtual machines and containers. A VPS provides a virtualized server environment with resources allocated by the hosting provider.

Proxmox Dedicated Server Standard VPS
Physical server dedicated to your infrastructure Virtualized server instance
You manage the Proxmox virtualization layer The provider manages the underlying hypervisor
Create and manage multiple VMs and containers Typically provides a single virtual server environment
Access to the server's physical CPU, RAM, and storage Access to allocated virtual resources
Greater control over storage and virtual networking Infrastructure and virtualization options are generally provider-defined
Suitable for building your own virtualization environment Suitable for users who need a ready-to-use virtual server

When Should You Choose a Proxmox Dedicated Server?

A Proxmox dedicated server can be appropriate when you need to run multiple isolated workloads on one physical server, manage your own virtualization environment, or have greater control over how CPU, memory, storage, and networking are allocated to your VMs and containers.

A VPS can be a practical choice when you only need a single virtual server environment and do not need to manage the underlying virtualization platform.

The right option ultimately depends on your workload, required resources, management requirements, and desired level of infrastructure control.

Why Run Proxmox on Fit Servers Bare Metal?

Key advantages:

Resource Consolidation

Host multiple virtual machines and containers on one dedicated physical server when its resources are sufficient for the workload.

Open-Source Virtualization

Proxmox VE is open-source and does not require per-VM software licensing.

Hardware Control

Manage the underlying dedicated server and virtualization environment with root-level administrative access.

VMs and Containers

Proxmox VE supports both KVM virtual machines and Linux Containers (LXC).

Flexible Infrastructure

Choose CPU, RAM, storage, network connectivity, and location according to your virtualization requirements.

Scalable Architecture

Additional Proxmox servers can be used when your infrastructure requires a multi-server deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How is Proxmox installed on my server?

Select Proxmox VE as your operating system during the server configuration process. We can install Proxmox VE on the selected bare-metal server before handing it over to you.

Because Proxmox VE is installed directly on the physical server, the installation process uses the selected disks. Any existing data on those disks may be removed during installation, so the required storage should be selected carefully before deployment.

Does Proxmox cost money?

Proxmox VE is open-source software and can be used without a mandatory per-VM software license. Proxmox also offers optional subscription plans that provide access to enterprise repositories and support services.

How many VMs can I run on one server?

There is no fixed VM limit that applies to every dedicated server. The practical number depends on the CPU, RAM, storage, network capacity, and resource requirements of each VM or container.

A lightweight development VM and a memory-intensive database VM can have very different resource requirements, so VM capacity should be calculated from your actual workloads rather than a fixed VM count.

What if I need more resources later?

Hardware upgrades depend on the specific server platform, available components, and configuration. Where supported, RAM or storage can be expanded. If additional physical capacity is required, another Proxmox server can also be added as part of a larger deployment.

Can I cluster multiple Proxmox servers?

Yes. Proxmox VE supports clustering, allowing multiple Proxmox servers to be managed as part of a cluster. Proxmox also supports high-availability configurations and VM migration, subject to the requirements of the cluster architecture, storage, and network configuration.

What OS is Proxmox based on?

It is built directly on top of Debian GNU/Linux.

Do I have full control over the server even if you install the OS?

Yes. We perform the initial Proxmox installation, while you retain administrative control of the server after deployment. Available remote-management features such as IPMI or KVM depend on the selected server hardware.
