Looking for reliable Infrastructure as a Service without breaking the bank? Whether you're running a personal blog, scaling an e-commerce site, or managing enterprise applications, finding the right hosting setup can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

RackNerd offers a wide range of hosting solutions—from budget-friendly shared hosting to powerful dedicated servers with unmetered 10Gbps bandwidth. With 20+ global datacenter locations spanning North America, Europe, and Asia, you get performance where you actually need it. This guide breaks down every hosting option available, so you can make an informed decision without getting lost in technical jargon.

AMD Ryzen VPS: When Speed Actually Matters

So here's the thing about VPS hosting—most providers throw around words like "fast" and "optimized" without telling you what that actually means for your site. RackNerd's AMD Ryzen VPS lineup uses Ryzen 3900X processors paired with NVMe storage. We're talking disk I/O speeds over 1 GB/s here. That's not marketing fluff; that's the kind of speed that makes WordPress dashboards load instantly instead of making you stare at spinning wheels.

The setup is instant, which is nice when you're itching to get started. You get KVM virtualization—basically means your resources are actually yours, not shared with some crypto miner on the same server. Operating system choices include the usual suspects: CentOS, AlmaLinux, Debian, Ubuntu. Pick what you know, or try something new. The control panel is straightforward enough that you won't need a PhD to figure it out.

Linux NVMe VPS Features:

• AMD Ryzen 3900X processors

• Pure NVMe storage with 1GB/s+ disk I/O

• KVM virtualization with dedicated resources

• Multiple OS options (CentOS, AlmaLinux, Debian, Ubuntu)

• Instant provisioning

Windows VPS Options:
If you need Windows Server 2012 or 2016, RackNerd has you covered. Full Administrator and Remote Desktop access included. Same Ryzen performance, just with Windows.

Traditional KVM VPS: Solid and Dependable

Not everyone needs bleeding-edge performance. Sometimes you just want something reliable that works. The standard KVM VPS plans use RAID-10 protected storage—basically means your data lives in multiple places, so a single drive failure won't ruin your day.

Available in 10 locations: Los Angeles, San Jose, Seattle, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, New Jersey, New York, Ashburn, and Amsterdam. If you're targeting specific regions, having this many location options means you can put your server close to your actual users.

Shared Hosting: The Budget-Friendly Entry Point

Let's be real—shared hosting gets a bad rap, and sometimes it deserves it. But RackNerd's shared hosting runs on LiteSpeed web servers with CloudLinux, which keeps things more stable than your typical oversold shared environment. DDoS protection is built in, which is becoming increasingly necessary these days.

All plans include:

• Free SSL certificates (because HTTPS is basically mandatory now)

• Unlimited domains and databases

• Softaculous script installer (one-click WordPress installs and such)

• Free daily backups via JetBackup

• cPanel control panel

Three tiers available:

30 GB Plan - Good for starting out. 30GB SSD storage, 2TB monthly transfer. Costs $5.59/month.

100 GB Plan - Better for growing sites. 100GB storage, 3TB transfer. $9.59/month.

200 GB Plan - For storage-heavy projects. 200GB storage, 5TB transfer. $15.59/month.

Honestly, unless you're hosting massive media files, the 30GB or 100GB plans handle most websites just fine.

Reseller Hosting: Build Your Own Hosting Business

👉 Start your hosting business with RackNerd's fully managed reseller platform—no technical experience required

Thinking about starting a web hosting side business? Reseller hosting lets you create and sell hosting accounts under your own brand. RackNerd provides fully whitelabel hostnames and nameservers, so your clients never know you're reselling. The servers are fully managed by RackNerd's team, meaning you don't need to be a systems administrator.

40 GB Reseller Plan:

• Create up to 50 cPanel accounts

• 40GB SSD storage

• 2TB monthly transfer

• Full cPanel & WHM access

100 GB Reseller Plan:

• Up to 100 cPanel accounts

• 100GB storage

• Unlimited monthly transfer

200 GB Reseller Plan:

• Up to 200 cPanel accounts (technically 150, but close enough)

• 200GB storage

• Unlimited transfer

All reseller plans include free SSL certificates, CloudLinux, LiteSpeed, daily backups, and free migrations. The main advantage here is that RackNerd handles all the backend maintenance while you focus on getting clients.

Hybrid Dedicated Servers: The Middle Ground

Hybrid dedicated servers give you dedicated resources without the full cost of a bare metal server. Think of it as a beefy VPS with guaranteed performance. You get dedicated CPU cores, dedicated RAM, and premium bandwidth. Good option if you need predictable performance but aren't ready to drop $200+ monthly on a full dedicated server.

AMD Ryzen Dedicated Servers: Custom Built Performance

These are custom configured and deployed within 24-36 hours. You're getting modern Ryzen processors in a dedicated environment. Pricing varies based on configuration, but expect enterprise-grade performance without enterprise-grade pricing.

Bare Metal Dedicated Servers: Full Control

Now we're getting into serious territory. Bare metal means the physical server is entirely yours—no virtualization layer, no resource sharing. Deployment typically happens within 24 hours, often same-day.

Multiple datacenter options:

• USA locations (Los Angeles, New Jersey, New York, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, etc.)

• European locations (London, Amsterdam, Strasbourg, Frankfurt)

• Asian locations (Singapore)

Asia-optimized servers available in Singapore:

Intel Xeon E-2286G Configuration:

• Either 2x 4TB HDD or 2x 1TB SSD

• 64GB DDR4 RAM

• Unmetered 100Mbps bandwidth

• $399/month

Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4214:

• 2x 1TB SSD

• 128GB DDR4 RAM

• Unmetered 100Mbps bandwidth

• $579/month

These Singapore servers are specifically optimized for Asian traffic patterns, which matters more than most people realize for latency-sensitive applications.

Unmetered 10Gbps Dedicated Servers: Bandwidth Beast Mode

Ever run out of bandwidth mid-month? These servers solve that problem permanently. Unmetered 10Gbps means you can push traffic without watching your bandwidth meter like a hawk. The network uses multiple Tier 1 providers in a BGP blend—technical way of saying your traffic takes the fastest route available.

Available configurations:

Intel Xeon E-2146G:

• 500GB SSD, 32GB RAM

• Unmetered 10Gbps, 5 IPv4 addresses

• New Jersey and Los Angeles

• $1,299/month

Dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3:

• 500GB SSD, 64GB RAM

• Unmetered 10Gbps, 5 IPs

• $1,399/month

Dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 (Upgraded):

• 2x 500GB SSD, 128GB RAM

• Unmetered 10Gbps, 5 IPs

• $1,499/month

Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4210:

• 2x 500GB SSD, 64GB RAM

• Unmetered 10Gbps, 5 IPs

• $1,699/month

Dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 V4:

• 2x 500GB SSD, 128GB RAM

• Unmetered 10Gbps, 5 IPs

• $1,999/month

These are content delivery and high-traffic workload machines. If you're streaming, hosting large downloads, or running bandwidth-intensive applications, the unmetered 10Gbps makes financial sense compared to paying overage fees.

SEO Dedicated Servers: For the IP-Hungry

SEO hosting needs diverse IP allocations for hosting multiple sites without leaving footprints. RackNerd offers configurations from single /24 IPv4 blocks up to 16x /28 allocations.

Key configurations:

Intel Xeon E3-1240 v3 (/24 IPv4):

• 500GB SSD or 1TB HDD

• $189/month

Intel Xeon E3-1240 v3 (32x /29):

• 500GB SSD or 1TB HDD

• 16GB RAM, 30TB @ 1Gbps

• 32x /29 IPv4 allocations

• New York location

• $199/month

Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 (/24 IPv4):

The IP diversity options give you flexibility for multi-site SEO strategies without clustering everything on the same C-class.

Global Network Coverage: Where Your Server Lives Matters

👉 Deploy your infrastructure across 20+ global locations with RackNerd's extensive datacenter network

RackNerd operates in 20 global datacenter locations. Each location uses multiple Tier 1 network carriers for redundancy and performance. Here's what's available:

North America:

• Los Angeles (CenturyLink, Cogent, GTT, NTT, China Telecom, China Unicom, ChinaNet)

• San Jose (NTT, Telia, HE, GTT, Cogent)

• Seattle (Cogent, Telia)

• Utah (Zayo, Level 3, XO, GTT, TiNet, HE, Telia, CenturyLink, Cogent)

• Dallas (TeliaSonera, XO)

• Chicago (GTT, NTT, Telia, CenturyLink, Zayo)

• Atlanta (GTT, Zayo, Cogent)

• Tampa (HE, Cogent, GTT)

• Ashburn (GTT & NTT)

• New York (Telia, Hibernia, XO)

• New Jersey (Level 3, Telia, Cogent, Zayo/AboveNet)

• Montreal (Teksavvy, Cogent)

Europe:

• London (Telia, Cogent, NTT, GTT)

• Amsterdam (Telia, Cogent)

• Strasbourg (Deutsche Telekom, Level 3, Telia, Cogent, DE-CIX, LINX)

• Frankfurt (Deutsche Telekom, Level 3, Telia, Cogent, DE-CIX, LINX)

Asia:

• Singapore (GCX, NTT, TATA, Equinix Peering)

The network carrier diversity means your traffic routes efficiently whether you're serving North American, European, or Asian audiences. Los Angeles particularly shines for Asia-Pacific connectivity with its China Telecom, China Unicom, and ChinaNet presence.

Testing Before You Buy

Each location has test IPs available. Smart move is to run ping tests and traceroutes from your actual user locations before committing. Check latency to where your traffic originates. A 150ms ping time might be fine for a blog but terrible for real-time applications.

Sample test IPs:

• Los Angeles: 204.13.154.3

• New York: 69.58.3.171

• San Jose: 192.210.207.88

• Chicago: 198.23.228.15

• London: 89.34.96.1

• Amsterdam: 23.94.101.88

Run your tests during peak hours if possible. Network performance at 3 AM doesn't tell you much about what your users experience during the day.

Choosing What Actually Works for You

RackNerd's product range covers pretty much every hosting scenario—from a five-dollar shared hosting account to multi-thousand-dollar dedicated servers with unmetered 10Gbps pipes. The right choice depends on what you're actually running and how much traffic you're handling.

Starting out? Shared hosting or a small VPS gets you moving. Growing and need better performance? AMD Ryzen VPS or hybrid dedicated servers bridge the gap. Running serious infrastructure? The bare metal and unmetered 10Gbps dedicated servers provide the horsepower and bandwidth you need. Need diverse IPs for SEO? The SEO dedicated servers solve that specific problem.

The 20+ datacenter locations mean you can deploy infrastructure close to your users regardless of whether they're in Los Angeles, London, or Singapore. That proximity translates directly into better latency and faster load times for your visitors. For projects requiring global infrastructure with reliable performance across diverse geographic regions, RackNerd's extensive network coverage and competitive pricing make it worth serious consideration.
