1. What is a Dedicated Server?

A Dedicated Server, also known as a Bare Metal Server, is a physical server where all its resources (CPU, RAM, storage, bandwidth) are exclusively reserved for a single client. Unlike shared or VPS hosting, there is no sharing with anyone else. The client has full administrative control to manage the server, including both its hardware and software environments.

What is a Dedicated Server in Vietnam - VietHosting

1.1. How does a Dedicated Server work?

When you lease a dedicated server, the hosting provider prepares a physical server according to your chosen configuration. This server is installed in a professional data center, connected to a stable power supply and network, and pre-installed with a base operating system (like Linux or Windows). You then receive access credentials (typically via SSH or Remote Desktop) to take full control, allowing you to install applications and operate the server to meet your specific needs.

1.2. When should you use a Dedicated Server?

  • Websites with extremely high traffic volumes or large-scale e-commerce platforms.
  • Enterprise applications and databases that demand consistent high-performance processing.
  • Projects that require custom software or operating system configurations not available in shared environments.
  • Systems needing the highest level of security, which requires a physically isolated environment.
  • Running virtualization systems (e.g., VMware, Proxmox) to create and manage your own fleet of virtual private servers (VPS).

1.3. Benefits of a Dedicated Server vs. Other Solutions

  • Maximum Performance: You utilize 100% of the hardware resources without any virtualization layer causing overhead, delivering true "bare-metal" performance.
  • Full Control: With root or administrator access, you can customize everything from the operating system and kernel settings to specific software configurations.
  • Superior Security: A completely isolated environment minimizes the risk of "noisy neighbor" effects and cross-contamination from other users, a common concern in shared hosting or VPS.
  • High Reliability and Stability: Because resources are not shared, your server's performance is not affected by the activities of other tenants, ensuring consistent and predictable operation.

2. Common Ways to Classify Servers

2.1. By Geographic Location

2.1.1. What is a Vietnam Server?

A Vietnam Server is a physical server located within a data center in Vietnam and uses a Vietnamese IP address range. It's the premier choice for websites and applications targeting users in the country, offering superior access speeds and extremely low latency.

You may also encounter more specific terms like HCMC Server or Hanoi Server, referring to servers located in those major cities. Similarly, names like Viettel Server, FPT Server, or VNPT Server indicate servers housed in the data centers of those respective network providers. Essentially, they are all types of a Vietnam Server.

2.1.2. What is an Offshore Server?

An Offshore Server (often referred to as an "International Server" or "Overseas Server") is a physical server located in a country different from the primary location of the user or business operating it.

For users in Vietnam, an offshore server would be one located outside of Vietnam (e.g., a Singapore Server, Hong Kong Server, or USA Server). This option is suitable for reaching an international audience but will result in higher latency when accessed from Vietnam.

2.1.3. Vietnam Server vs. Offshore Server Comparison
Criteria Vietnam Server Offshore Server
Domestic Access Speed Extremely fast with very low latency. Slower due to geographical distance.
International Access Speed Depends on the provider's international bandwidth quality. Fast for users in regions near the server's location.
Legal & Regulatory Complies with Vietnamese law, simplifying legal matters. Subject to the laws of the host country, which can be complex.
Technical Support Easy communication (same language, time zone) for quick support. Potential language barriers and time zone differences can cause delays.

2.2. By Operating System

2.2.1. What is a Linux Server?

A Linux Server is a server that runs on the Linux operating system, a popular, stable, and flexible open-source OS.

It is the most common choice for web servers, with popular distributions like Ubuntu, CentOS, and AlmaLinux, favored for its stability, high security, flexibility, and lack of licensing fees.

2.2.2. What is a Windows Server?

A Windows Server (as a type of dedicated server) is a server that uses Microsoft's Windows Server operating system, which is specifically designed for server environments.

It is the mandatory choice for applications developed on the .NET framework, using MS SQL databases, or other specialized software that only runs in a Windows environment.

2.2.3. Linux Server vs. Windows Server Comparison
Criteria Linux Server Windows Server
Licensing Cost Free (open-source). Requires paid licenses from Microsoft.
Platform Compatibility PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, Python, Perl, Node.js, etc. ASP.NET, .NET Core, MS SQL, C#, Visual Basic.
Management Interface Primarily Command-Line Interface (CLI), with optional GUI. User-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Security Highly regarded for its robust security architecture and permissions model. A more common target for attacks, requiring frequent security patches.

2.3. By Hardware Configuration

Servers are often classified by their core hardware components, which directly dictate their processing power. Key factors include the CPU series (e.g., Intel Xeon, AMD EPYC), RAM capacity (64GB, 128GB, 256GB), and storage type (NVMe, Enterprise SSD, SATA HDD). For specialized workloads, servers are also classified by their graphics processing units (GPUs), such as the NVIDIA RTX or A-series, which are essential for AI, machine learning, and high-end rendering.

2.4. By Purpose of Use

2.4.1. What is a Web Server?

A Web Server is a server installed and configured with specialized software (like Apache, NGINX, LiteSpeed) to store, process, and deliver website content to users' browsers over the HTTP/HTTPS protocol.

The main characteristic of a Web Server is its optimization for handling many small, concurrent requests, fast data read/write speeds, and robust security features to protect the website.

2.4.2. What is a Database Server?

A Database Server is a server specifically optimized for storing, managing, querying, and updating databases efficiently and securely. It acts as a central data repository for applications and websites.

Key features of a Database Server include extremely high I/O (disk read/write) performance, large amounts of RAM for caching, and reliable data backup and recovery mechanisms.

2.4.3. What is a Game Server?

A Game Server is a server with powerful hardware, particularly a CPU with high single-core clock speeds and a stable, low-latency network connection. It is used to run and manage the virtual world in online multiplayer games.

The most critical feature of a Game Server is its ability to perform real-time computational tasks quickly to ensure a smooth, lag-free gaming experience for all players.

Use Case Recommended Configuration
Web Server Multi-core CPU, adequate RAM, prioritized NVMe SSD storage, optional RAID 10 for enhanced read/write speed.
Database Server Powerful CPU, very large RAM capacity (for caching), Enterprise SSDs in a RAID 10 configuration for speed and redundancy.

3. Dedicated Server vs. Large VPS

Choosing between a Large VPS (High-Resource VPS) and a Dedicated Server is a decision between a top-tier virtualized environment offering flexibility and an exclusive physical environment delivering maximum performance.

3.1. Performance & Resources

  • Large VPS (High-Resource VPS): A powerful virtual server created from a parent physical server. CPU and RAM are still 100% dedicated to you via KVM virtualization. It offers high, stable performance nearly equivalent to a physical server, but with a minor theoretical overhead from the virtualization layer.
  • Dedicated Server: An entire physical server providing absolute "bare-metal" performance. You have exclusive, direct access to 100% of the hardware, making it the ultimate choice for the most demanding applications.

3.2. Cost & Flexibility

  • Large VPS (High-Resource VPS): More cost-effective as it shares infrastructure costs like rack space and power. It can be provisioned, upgraded, or downgraded automatically and rapidly.
  • Dedicated Server: Higher rental cost because you lease an entire physical machine. It requires manual setup by technicians (typically 4-8 hours), and hardware upgrades are more complex.

3.3. When to Choose a Dedicated Server

Choose a Dedicated Server when your application demands absolute hardware performance, requires deep hardware customization (e.g., installing specialized cards), or has strict security requirements that mandate a physically isolated environment.

3.4. When to Choose a Large VPS

Choose a Large VPS (High-Resource VPS) when you need substantial resources and high performance approaching that of a dedicated server, but still prioritize the flexibility of rapid scaling and cost optimization.

4. What is Server Colocation?

Server Colocation is a service that allows businesses to rent space (per rack unit 'U' or as a full rack) in a professional data center to house their own server hardware. Instead of building a costly server room, you leverage the data center's superior infrastructure, including redundant power, cooling, and security, while retaining full ownership and control of your physical hardware.

4.1. How does Colocation work?

You bring your own server hardware to the provider's data center. They provide a secure space in a rack, along with power, network connectivity, and the ideal operating environment. You remain the owner of the equipment and have full access (both physically and remotely) to manage, maintain, and upgrade your hardware as you see fit.

4.2. Benefits of Colocation vs. Renting a Dedicated Server

  • Full Hardware Ownership and Control: You can freely choose, build, and upgrade your server configuration without being limited by a provider's predefined plans.
  • Long-Term Cost Savings: While it requires an initial investment in hardware, the monthly cost of colocation is often lower than renting a dedicated server with equivalent specs in the long run.
  • Leverage Professional Infrastructure: You benefit from a world-class facility (power, cooling, security) without the massive capital expenditure of building one yourself.

4.3. When to Choose Colocation?

Choose Colocation when you already own server hardware, have highly specific hardware requirements not available in rental markets, or possess an in-house technical team capable of managing hardware and wish to optimize long-term operational costs.

An Offshore Server (often referred to as an "International Server" or "Overseas Server") is a physical server located in a country different from the primary location of the user or business operating it.

For users in Vietnam, an offshore server would be one located outside of Vietnam (e.g., a Singapore Server, Hong Kong Server, or USA Server). This option is suitable for reaching an international audience but will result in higher latency when accessed from Vietnam.

Technical Working Principle

When a user from Vietnam connects to an Offshore Server, the data stream must travel a long distance:

  • International Connectivity: All traffic from Vietnam must pass through international internet gateways and submarine fiber optic systems.
  • High Network Latency: The long geographical distance is the primary cause of high latency, which slows down the response time for applications.
  • Reliance on International Infrastructure: Connection performance is entirely dependent on the condition of submarine cable routes, which can be severely impacted by outages.
  • Remote Management: All administration and hardware troubleshooting are performed remotely, often by support teams in different time zones.

Key Benefits of an Offshore Server

Choosing an Offshore Server provides significant advantages for projects with a global scale and orientation:

  • Reach International Markets: Optimizes access speed and experience for users in regions near the Data Center.
  • Large International Bandwidth: Often comes with very large international bandwidth, suitable for applications with high global traffic.
  • Flexibility in Legal & Cost Policies: Allows for hosting in countries with more suitable legal policies or infrastructure costs.

Key Drawbacks When Used in Vietnam

While advantageous for international bandwidth, an Offshore Server presents significant barriers when you need to serve users in Vietnam:

  • Unstable Speeds to Vietnam: Domestic bandwidth depends on the Data Center's peering quality, which is often unstable and results in high latency.
  • Technical Support Barriers: Troubleshooting becomes inconvenient due to time zone differences, language barriers, and the long distance when physical intervention is needed.
  • Submarine Cable Dependency: Connectivity to Vietnam is entirely dependent on international submarine cables, making it vulnerable to severe disruptions during outages.
  • Legal & Data Risks: Businesses must comply with the data storage laws of the host country, which can be complex and pose potential risks.

Applications and Use Cases

An Offshore Server is an essential platform for systems with a large scale and specific requirements:

  • Global E-commerce & SaaS Platforms: Serving customers worldwide, requiring low latency in multiple regions.
  • International Game Servers: Accommodating a large number of players from different countries.
  • CDN Systems (Content Delivery Network): Placing edge servers in multiple locations to accelerate content delivery.
  • Projects with Specific Jurisdictional Requirements: Storing data or applications in countries with a suitable legal framework.

Choose the Vietnam Server solution at VietHosting today to ensure the best performance, speed, and support for your projects targeting users in the country.

Upon successful payment verification for a Dedicated Server, we will initiate server provisioning. Server access credentials will be delivered to the client's registered email address upon payment confirmation.

For standard server configurations, the typical deployment time is 4 to 8 hours. Login credentials will be delivered to the client's registered email address. In some cases, deployment may extend beyond the standard timeframe, but will not exceed 48 hours.

In the event of hardware availability constraints or unforeseen technical complications, we will promptly notify the client with updates and discuss resolution strategies.

As per the Refund Policy, Dedicated Server and Colocation services are not eligible for refunds.

Why is this the policy?

The Dedicated Server service, by its nature, involves VietHosting reserving and providing an entire physical server exclusively for you, including hardware, power, and committed network ports. This requires long-term investment, hardware setup, and infrastructure resource planning. Because the server and these resources are reserved for you for the entire billing cycle, they cannot be re-allocated to another customer, and therefore, we cannot issue a refund for the unused time.

How do I stop the service renewal?

Although a refund is not possible, you have the full right to cancel the service renewal for the next cycle. To avoid unwanted charges, you must submit a cancellation request with the 'End of Billing Cycle' option through the client area at least 7 days before the service's expiration date.

For More Information

For more details, please refer to our full Refund Policy (Section 4).

Colocation (also known as Server Colocation) is a service that allows a business or individual to rent space (by the U or as a full Rack) in a professional data center facility to place their own Servers or network equipment.

Instead of investing in and operating a costly private server room, you get to leverage the Data Center's superior infrastructure, including power, cooling, high-speed internet connectivity, and physical security. In this model, the client retains full ownership and management of their equipment, while the service provider ensures the infrastructure operates with constant stability and security.

Technical Working Principle

The Server Colocation service operates on a clear model of shared responsibilities:

  • Client Owns the Hardware: You have full ownership, choice of configuration, and responsibility for your server hardware, as well as the software and data within it.
  • Provider Operates the Infrastructure: The service provider is responsible for ensuring the entire physical infrastructure of the Data Center (power, cooling, network, security) operates 24/7.
  • Leveraging Shared Strength: You benefit from high-end infrastructure at a reasonable cost because the Data Center's operational expenses are shared among many clients.

Key Benefits of Server Colocation

Choosing a Colocation service offers numerous strategic advantages for your business:

  • Investment & Operational Cost Savings: Completely eliminate the costs of building and maintaining a server room, including expenses for electricity, cooling, and infrastructure staff.
  • Professional Datacenter Infrastructure: Your server is housed in a standard-compliant environment with N+1 backup power, standardized cooling and temperature systems, and automatic fire suppression.
  • High-Speed & Stable Connectivity: Enjoy high-bandwidth, low-latency internet connectivity with redundancy from multiple different Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
  • Strict Physical Security: Ensure the absolute safety of your physical assets with 24/7 security, surveillance cameras, and biometric access control.

Applications and Use Cases

Server Colocation is the ideal solution for a variety of needs and scales:

  • Clients with Existing Physical Servers: Individuals or companies that have already purchased their own servers and need a professional environment to operate them instead of at home or in the office.
  • Systems Requiring Specialized Hardware: Projects that demand specific server configurations, GPU cards, or network equipment not available in standard dedicated server rental services.
  • Disaster Recovery (DR) & Backup: Establishing a secondary site to back up data and be ready to operate if the primary system fails.
  • Web Hosting & Gaming Companies: Service providers who need a powerful, stable, and scalable infrastructure to serve their own customers.

1. What is Bandwidth?

Bandwidth is the maximum data transfer capacity of a network connection over a specific period, typically measured in Mbps (Megabits per second) or Gbps (Gigabits per second).

To make it easier to understand, you can think of bandwidth like the width of a highway. The wider the road, the more cars can travel at the same time. Similarly, the larger the bandwidth, the more data (images, videos, text) can be transferred between your website and your users per second.

2. Understanding Megabits (Mbps) vs. Megabytes (MB/s)

This is the most common point of confusion. Network service providers (including VietHosting) typically advertise bandwidth speed in Megabits per second (Mbps), but the file download speed in your browser is shown in Megabytes per second (MB/s).

The conversion rule is simple: 1 Megabyte = 8 Megabits.

  • To calculate the theoretical maximum download speed (in MB/s), you simply divide the advertised speed (in Mbps) by 8.
  • Example: A hosting plan with 100 Mbps bandwidth will have a theoretical maximum download speed of 100 / 8 = 12.5 MB/s. The actual speed might be slightly lower due to transmission overhead, which is why you might see speeds around 10-12 MB/s.

3. Domestic Bandwidth

This is the data transfer rate for network connections within Vietnam's territory. This bandwidth is optimized for high speed and extremely low latency, making it ideal for websites and applications primarily serving users in Vietnam.

4. International Bandwidth

This is the data transfer rate for connections from Vietnam to other countries and vice versa. Due to long geographical distances, international bandwidth typically has higher latency and lower committed speeds compared to domestic bandwidth.

5. Shared Bandwidth Policy at VietHosting

To provide services at a reasonable cost, we operate on a shared bandwidth model. This means the advertised network speed is the maximum port speed your service is connected to. If your project requires guaranteed network speeds or needs dedicated bandwidth, please contact us for a consultation on a suitable solution.

Yes, basic support for OS installation and server optimization is available for VietHosting's Colocation customers.

Additionally, we offer dedicated Server Management services for ongoing administration needs.

Server management is a form of technical administration that handles all administrative tasks equivalent to the responsibilities of a customer's System Administrator department.

When hiring server management services, customers receive installation, configuration, optimization, monitoring, and handling of technical issues and errors arising on the server to ensure it operates in the most stable and high-performance state.
