Our Sweden dedicated servers are physical Dell and SuperMicro machines operated by GleSYS in a Tier III+ facility in Stockholm. Nothing is shared at the hardware level: every processor core, every gigabyte of memory and every disk belongs to your workload. Each server includes 20 Gbit/s of DDoS protection, with an add-on that raises the ceiling to 100 Gbit/s, and connects at 1 Gbps with 50 TB of transfer per month.
Three configurations are available, from an Intel Xeon E3-1240 v2 with 16 GB of RAM at $139 per month to a dual Intel Xeon E5-2430L v2 with 64 GB at $399 per month. You choose hardware or software RAID, install Linux or Windows Server 2019 or 2022, and pay monthly with no setup fee. Delivery takes one to three days. These servers are built for game networks, streaming, large databases and any service that needs protection from hostile traffic.
Single-tenant servers in GleSYS, Stockholm with full root or Administrator control.
Every dedicated server ships with 20 Gbit/s of DDoS protection at no extra cost. If your service is likely to draw larger attacks, an add-on raises protection to 100 Gbit/s so public game, voice and streaming services stay reachable.
Machines come from Dell and SuperMicro, two manufacturers widely used in professional data centres. You get the complete physical server, with no hypervisor overhead and no other tenants competing for processor time, memory bandwidth or disk input and output.
Each server connects at 1 Gbps and includes 50 TB of transfer per month. That allowance covers sustained streaming, large file distribution and busy game networks, while the full gigabit port gives headroom for traffic spikes during launches and events.
Select hardware RAID for a controller that handles mirroring independently of the operating system, or software RAID for flexibility and easy monitoring through mdadm or Windows Storage Spaces. Either way your data survives a single disk failure when mirrored.
There is no setup fee on any configuration and billing runs month to month. You are not locked into a one-year contract, which makes it practical to test a physical server in Stockholm before committing your production environment to it.
Dedicated hardware is prepared, tested and installed with your chosen operating system before handover. Expect delivery within one to three days of payment, after which you receive full root or administrator access and the server's network details.
Three configurations are currently listed. Each one is a complete physical server at GleSYS in Stockholm, and every configuration includes the same network, DDoS and support terms.
A single-processor Xeon server with 16 GB of memory and a choice of 2x 1 TB HDD or 2x 240 GB SSD. It is a compact, efficient machine for a dedicated game server, a mid-sized web application, a mail server or a backup target. Pick SSD for faster databases or HDD for more capacity.
A dual-processor server with four 1 TB hard drives in RAID. The extra drives make it the capacity choice of the range: useful for file storage, media libraries, log retention, backup repositories and applications that need several terabytes rather than raw speed.
The most powerful option pairs two Xeon processors with 64 GB of memory and either 2x 480 GB SSD or 1 TB HDD. The large memory allowance suits databases, virtualisation hosts running several guests, game networks with multiple instances and in-memory caches such as Redis.
A distributed denial-of-service attack floods a server or its network with traffic from many sources at once, aiming to make it unreachable for legitimate users. Game servers, voice platforms, streaming services, forums and online shops are frequent targets, sometimes because of competition, sometimes simply because they are public and popular.
Every dedicated server in this range includes 20 Gbit/s of DDoS protection. Traffic is inspected upstream, and attack traffic is filtered before it can saturate your 1 Gbps port, while legitimate visitors continue to reach your services. Because protection sits in the network rather than on the server itself, your CPU and memory remain free to run your application during an attack.
For high-profile services, tournaments, large community launches or businesses that have already been targeted, the 100 Gbit/s add-on raises the protection ceiling substantially. You can discuss whether you need it in a sales ticket before ordering.
Network-level protection works best alongside good practice on the server: close ports you do not use, rate-limit login endpoints, and keep administration interfaces restricted to trusted IP addresses.
GleSYS operates the infrastructure that hosts our Swedish dedicated servers. The facility is classified Tier III+, meaning it is built with redundant power and cooling paths so that components can be maintained or replaced without shutting down the equipment they serve. For a physical server, where you cannot simply migrate a virtual machine to another host, the quality of the building matters a great deal.
The Stockholm location gives your server the same advantages that make Sweden attractive for any hosting project: direct reach to Swedish and Nordic networks, a largely low-carbon electricity supply and a position inside the European Union for GDPR purposes. Dedicated hardware also helps when customers or auditors ask about isolation, since no other tenant runs code on your machine.
Servers are built from Dell and SuperMicro components and are tested before delivery. Once your server is online, you manage it directly with root or administrator access, and our team handles hardware issues through the support ticket system.
Many customers start on a VPS and later move to dedicated hardware. Knowing the signals helps you make that move at the right time rather than too early or too late.
On the other hand, if your project fits comfortably within a VPS and you value fast provisioning and flexible resizing, staying virtual is perfectly reasonable. Our team can review your current usage and recommend the right step.
Disk layout is one of the first decisions on a dedicated server and one of the hardest to change later. Each configuration supports hardware or software RAID, and the right level depends on the number of drives and what you value most.
With two drives, as on the E3-1240 v2 and E5-2430L v2 configurations, RAID1 mirrors every block to both disks. If one fails, the server keeps running on the other while it is replaced. Capacity equals one drive, but resilience is high.
The dual E5620 server with 4x 1 TB HDD gives more options. RAID10 mirrors and stripes, delivering good write performance and resilience with 2 TB usable. RAID5 offers about 3 TB usable at the cost of slower writes and longer rebuilds.
Hardware RAID offloads the work to a controller and presents a single volume to the operating system, which can simplify Windows installs. Software RAID with mdadm or ZFS on Linux is transparent, easy to monitor and portable between machines. Whichever you choose, RAID is not a backup: always keep copies elsewhere.
Dedicated servers are installed with Linux or with Windows Server 2019 or 2022 before delivery. The choice shapes everything from your management tools to your licensing.
Linux suits web hosting stacks, containers, game servers, databases and virtualisation platforms such as Proxmox VE. Distributions like Ubuntu Server, Debian, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux are common choices, each with long-term support releases suitable for servers that will run for years.
Windows Server 2019 is a mature release that many business applications explicitly support. Windows Server 2022 brings newer security features and a longer support horizon, making it the better default for new deployments unless your software vendor specifies 2019. Both can run IIS, SQL Server, Active Directory roles and Hyper-V.
If you plan to install something unusual, such as a specific hypervisor or a custom image, mention it in a sales ticket before ordering so the team can confirm it fits the hardware and RAID controller.
Sweden's gaming and streaming scene makes Stockholm a natural home for servers that need to be fast, stable and resistant to attack. A dedicated machine gives game communities the consistent single-thread performance that many game engines depend on, without the variability that can come from sharing a host.
Common setups on our Stockholm hardware include:
Players across Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland connect over short routes to Stockholm, and audiences in northern and central Europe are also within comfortable reach.
Beyond gaming, dedicated servers are the workhorse for data-heavy and infrastructure workloads. Two patterns are especially common.
MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server all perform best when their working set fits in memory. The 64 GB configuration with SSD storage is the obvious choice for production databases behind busy online stores, SaaS platforms or analytics tools. Keeping the database on its own physical server also simplifies GDPR documentation, since the data sits on known hardware in Stockholm.
Installing Proxmox VE, Hyper-V or another hypervisor lets you split a dedicated server into your own virtual machines. Agencies use this to give each client an isolated environment, developers use it for test labs, and businesses run several internal services on one box. Two Xeon processors and 64 GB of memory provide enough capacity for a meaningful number of small guests.
Whichever pattern you follow, plan backups to a separate location and monitor disk health so a failing drive can be replaced before it becomes a problem.
Ordering a dedicated server takes a few minutes; preparing the hardware takes a little longer. Here is what to expect:
If you are migrating from another provider, start copying data as soon as the server is delivered, then follow the same approach used for VPS migrations: lower DNS TTLs, run a final sync and switch records. Questions during any step can go to the technical department through a support ticket.
Unlike our VPS plans, which have unlimited traffic, dedicated servers include a generous 50 TB of transfer per month on a 1 Gbps port. For the vast majority of projects that allowance is more than enough, but it is worth a quick estimate if you run bandwidth-heavy services.
A useful rule of thumb: a 1 Gbps port running flat out for an entire month would move roughly 320 TB, so 50 TB corresponds to an average of around 150 Mbps sustained, day and night. Most websites, game servers and databases use only a small fraction of that. Video streaming and large file distribution are the workloads most likely to approach the limit.
To keep an eye on usage, install a tool such as vnStat on Linux or check network counters in Windows Performance Monitor, and review totals weekly. Caching static assets, compressing responses and offloading large downloads to a content delivery network all reduce transfer. If you expect to need more, raise it in a sales ticket so we can discuss options before you order.
Our dedicated servers are hosted by GleSYS in Stockholm, in a facility rated Tier III+. The hardware comes from Dell and SuperMicro. You order, pay and open support tickets through the ServerSlot client area at control.serverslot.com, while the physical infrastructure, power, cooling and network are provided by GleSYS in Sweden.
Every dedicated server includes 20 Gbit/s of DDoS protection at no extra charge. If your service needs more, an add-on increases protection to 100 Gbit/s. This is particularly valuable for game servers, voice platforms, streaming services and online shops, which are among the most frequent targets of denial-of-service attacks in practice.
No. There is no setup fee on any of the three configurations, and billing is monthly. You can run the server for as long as you need it without signing a long-term contract. This makes it practical to trial a Stockholm server before moving your full production environment, or to add capacity for a seasonal peak.
Delivery normally takes one to three days after payment. During that time the server is prepared, tested and installed with your chosen operating system and RAID layout. When it is ready you receive the access details in your client area, and you can log in immediately with full root or administrator rights.
You can choose Linux or Windows Server 2019 or 2022. Linux is popular for web, game and database servers and for hypervisors such as Proxmox. Windows Server suits IIS, SQL Server and business applications. If you need a specific distribution or custom image, ask in a sales ticket before ordering so compatibility can be confirmed.
Each dedicated server connects at 1 Gbps and includes 50 TB of transfer per month. That corresponds to an average of roughly 150 Mbps around the clock, which comfortably covers most websites, game servers and business applications. Heavy video streaming or file distribution projects should estimate usage in advance and raise any concerns with sales.
A single game server or small community runs well on the Xeon E3-1240 v2 with SSD storage. For a network of several game instances, a proxy and a voice server, the dual Xeon E5-2430L v2 with 64 GB of RAM gives more room. All configurations include 20 Gbit/s DDoS protection, which is important for public game services.
Yes. Each server supports hardware RAID through a controller or software RAID managed by the operating system. Hardware RAID presents a single volume and can simplify Windows installs, while software RAID is easy to monitor and portable. Tell us your preference when ordering, and remember that RAID protects against disk failure, not data loss.
