Proxmox on Dedicated Servers
With Proxmox VE 9 and Proxmox Backup Server 4, two powerful open-source virtualization and data backup solutions are available on our dedicated servers.
Proxmox VE 9 — Virtualization and Containers
Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE) 9 provides a reliable virtualization platform for managing VMs and containers via a central interface. Combine multiple dedicated servers into your own Proxmox cluster in our data centers. Enjoy centralized resource management, live migration between nodes, and a solid foundation for high availability.
Proxmox Backup Server 4 — Data Backup
Select Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) 4 as the image for your server to efficiently back up your data with encryption and deduplication. Incremental backups save storage space and time, and allow for quick, selective restoration of VMs, containers, and individual files. If you’re running a Proxmox VE cluster, PBS can be integrated as a central external storage backend.
Find out what our customers achieve with a dedicated server
Dedicated servers in Germany are suitable for any IT project, from simple web hosting to highly demanding scenarios on server clusters. Below are some examples:
Online stores, CRM and ERP systems
Dedicated servers provide the necessary performance for critical applications with high traffic volumes without sharing resources. Dedicated hardware ensures minimal load times and smooth operation, even during complex database queries at peak times. This maintains a stable user experience as your business grows.
Critical applications and high availability
When downtime is not an option, dedicated servers form the reliable backbone of your IT infrastructure. You have full control over the hardware configuration, allowing you to implement customized redundancy strategies directly at the physical level. This maximizes the reliability of the applications on which your business operations depend.
For critical sectors
In industries such as finance and healthcare, data security and isolation are legally required. Dedicated servers meet the highest compliance standards because your sensitive data is physically stored separately from other users’ data. This gives you complete control over the security architecture and significantly simplifies audits.
Cluster solutions and extreme workloads
Dedicated servers provide the perfect foundation for building high-performance server clusters or load-balancing architectures for extreme workloads. You benefit from maximum data throughput and precisely tailored hardware power. This enables you to handle even computationally intensive scenarios efficiently without any loss of performance.

You pay monthly based on the selected term, with no long-term commitment. To cancel, simply open a ticket in your customer portal.
plusserver operates its own data centers in Germany in accordance with the highest security standards and certifications. You can rent your dedicated server from us at our Cologne data center, which is staffed 24/7 by our own personnel. Defective hardware can be replaced quickly.
A managed server offers automatic updates, security support, and administrative task management, making it a convenient solution. It’s ideal if you don’t want to administer your server yourself. A root server, on the other hand, provides full control and flexibility, but it requires technical expertise and personal responsibility. The right choice depends on your needs and resources.
A dedicated server is a physical server whose entire hardware resources are made available exclusively to a single customer. This ensures maximum performance and control for demanding applications.
The terms “dedicated server” and “bare metal server” often refer to similar concepts. You get a physical server for your exclusive use. The difference lies in the details. Bare-metal servers offer maximum performance without a virtualization layer and are often available immediately (“as a service”). Dedicated servers, on the other hand, may be preconfigured and less flexible in terms of deployment. The dedicated servers at plusserver are pure bare-metal systems.
Dedicated servers offer exclusive access to hardware resources, ensuring higher performance and reliability. Virtual servers, also called vServers, share physical resources with other vServers, which can result in performance issues in certain situations. However, virtual servers are usually more affordable than dedicated servers.
With web hosting, you share server resources with other customers. While this is cost-effective, it is limited in terms of performance and flexibility. With a dedicated server, however, you have exclusive access to the server, allowing you to benefit from full performance, custom configuration, and enhanced security. A dedicated server is ideal for large-scale projects or specific requirements.
The amount you need depends on how you intend to use it. For simple websites, 8–16 GB is usually enough. However, for database-intensive applications, e-commerce platforms, or virtualization, 32 GB or more is recommended. Projects that are computationally intensive, such as big data, AI, or game servers, often require 64 GB of RAM or more.
Modern CPUs from AMD (e.g., EPYC) and Intel (e.g., Xeon) provide significantly greater computing power, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced security. You’ll benefit from faster data access, more cores for parallel processing, and modern instruction sets, which are ideal for demanding applications, virtualization, and high user counts. A modern CPU will noticeably boost your server’s overall performance and future-proof it.
Dedicated servers are ideal for businesses, agencies, and developers who require high performance, maximum control, and security. Typical use cases include large websites, high-traffic online stores, custom software solutions, gaming servers, and hosting multiple client projects. Dedicated servers are also the right choice for data-sensitive applications.
Within a series, the models have different focuses: In the Essential and Advanced series, the 100 model offers more cores for parallel workloads, while the 200 model offers a higher clock speed per core, e.g., for databases or software licensed per core. In the Performance series, the 200 model offers twice the number of cores for high-load scenarios. See the comparison above for details.
