Server for an existing 1C installation
If 1C still runs your ledger, the server under it does not have to sit in the office. Same version, same client, moved to a Tier III data centre in the EU.
How many people need access?
Count everyone who will need to open the program. You can add more people later.
Windows Server and the RDS user licences are included in the price you see below. Your 1C licence is not - bring the one you have or get it from your integrator.
Deployed in our Prague data centre - Prague, Czech Republic
What happens next
Pick the number of people. We size the processor, memory and disk to match.
The server deploys in under 10 minutes. Windows and your RDS licences are installed by an engineer within three days.
You connect over remote desktop and restore your existing 1C base - your hands on the keyboard, or your integrator.
What you get
- A Windows Server sized for the number of people you picked
- RDS user licences for exactly that many people, installed by an engineer within three days
- Room for your existing 1C base, its database and the file archive around it
- Remote desktop access for the whole team from Windows, macOS, iOS or Android
- A weekly backup and snapshots you can roll back in two clicks, daily backups available
- A Tier III data centre in Prague, Czech Republic, under EU jurisdiction
- 24/7 support with a ~10 minute average response
What you still need
- Your 1C licence. DCXV does not resell 1C - bring the one you have, or get it from your integrator.
- A Microsoft SQL Server licence, if your client-server base runs on MS SQL. We resell Windows Server and RDS user licences only; PostgreSQL needs no licence and runs on the same server.
- Installing and configuring 1C itself. We hand over a working Windows server with access; your integrator knows your configuration.
- If you want somebody to patch and watch the server, add managed administration - it is not switched on by default.
Why move the server before you change the software
Most companies on 1C are not planning to change accounting software this quarter - they need the server under it to stop being a risk. That is what this page is for: an existing 1C 8.3 installation, file or client-server, lifted onto a Windows server in a Tier III EU data centre with the version you already run left exactly as it is.
Changing accounting software and changing where it runs are two different projects, and only one of them has to happen now. A 1C base on a tower PC in the office is a single point of failure: one disk, one power feed, one building, and a backup that is usually on a drive in the same room. Moving that base onto a rented server removes the failure without touching the configuration, the version, or the way anybody works.
Legacy versions are the normal case here rather than the exception. 1C 8.3 in file mode, a client-server base on MS SQL, an old exchange rule that only speaks to a Windows service - all of it keeps running, because what changes is the hardware underneath and the route in. Your accountants open the same client over remote desktop instead of the office network.
It also buys time. If you do eventually move to BAS or to something else, you will be migrating from a server that already has redundant power, a backup schedule and snapshots to roll back to - a far better starting point than a machine nobody wants to touch. The infrastructure decision stops blocking the software decision.
What keeps running after the move
- 1C 8.3 in file mode, the same version you run today
- A client-server 1C base on MS SQL or PostgreSQL
- M.E.Doc and Art-Zvit next to the ledger on one machine
- Client-bank terminals that only install on Windows
- Scheduled jobs and exchange rules that expect a Windows service
- The shared file archive the accounting team actually uses
How much server each team size needs
Server for 1C for up to 5 users
One or two accountants plus a director who checks the figures. A file base this size runs comfortably and does not need converting to anything - it is the configuration most long-running 1C setups are already in.
Server for 1C for up to 20 users
A finance department, or an outsourcer keeping several clients on one host. This is where a file base starts showing lock waits when several people post at once, and where moving to client-server on the same machine is worth costing out - a configuration change rather than a new project.
Server for 1C for up to 50 users
A group of companies, usually with several bases and years of history inside them. One session host, one backup schedule, one place to patch. Above this we would talk about splitting the load or moving to dedicated hardware in the same Prague facility.
Who it is for
A company still working in 1C
There is no budget or appetite for a software migration this year, but the machine holding the ledger is old and in the wrong place.
An outsourcer with legacy client bases
Several clients, several 1C versions, and every one of them has to keep working exactly the way it does today.
A company that will leave 1C eventually
The move to other software is a year out, and until then the base still has to be backed up, reachable, and not sitting on one disk.
Moving an existing base without a rewrite
Inventory what you actually have
The 1C version, file or client-server, the size of the base and the integrations hanging off it. That list decides the configuration, and it is the part people underestimate.
Server ready the same day
The instance deploys in under 10 minutes. Windows and any RDS licences you bought are installed by an engineer within three days.
Restore and test in parallel
You or your integrator restore the base and repoint the clients while the old server keeps running. Nothing is switched off until you confirm the new one is correct.
Close it down properly
Remote desktop behind a gateway rather than a published port, the backup schedule set, and a snapshot taken before anyone starts posting.
Why rent it from us
We have been running EU infrastructure since 2007, on our own network under AS204057, from Tier III facilities in Prague and Covilha with a 99.982% facility SLA. The company is Cyprus-registered and GDPR-native, which is the part that matters if your clients or your auditor ask where the accounting data physically sits.
What you get from us is the infrastructure and the access, with support on shift 24/7/365 and a ~10 minute average first response. What we deliberately do not do is act as your 1C integrator - they know your configuration, your chart of accounts, and which of your integrations will object to a new address. We would rather hand them a working server than guess.
More reliable than the office
Tier III facilities with redundant power and cooling, a 99.982% facility SLA, a backup included in every plan and two-click snapshot rollback. A tower under a desk has none of that.
Scales in minutes
Add memory, disk or seats as the team grows. No reinstall, no migration, no new contract.
Works from anywhere
The same program over remote desktop from the office, from home or from another country, on Windows, macOS, iOS or Android.
No hardware to buy
No server, no UPS, no cooled room to put them in. One monthly invoice, by card or bank transfer, with no minimum term.
Nothing for you to maintain
The hardware, the power, the network and the backups are ours. Your IT time goes to the business instead of to a box in the corner.
24/7 support
Engineers on shift around the clock, ~10 minute average first response, over web chat, Telegram and email.
Help with the move
We hand over a working server with access. Tell us what has to come across and we will walk the migration with you.
Encrypted access
RDP over a gateway or a WireGuard tunnel, so the session never crosses the internet in the clear.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will our current 1C version keep working after the move?
Yes. What changes is the hardware underneath and the route in, not the application - the same 1C 8.3 build, the same configuration and the same client, opened over remote desktop instead of the office network. We do not upgrade, convert or reconfigure anything in the base
Can DCXV move the 1C base for us?
No, and that is deliberate. We hand over a Windows server with access, and you or your integrator restore the dump and repoint the clients. Your integrator knows your configuration and your chart of accounts; we would be guessing. The old server keeps running until you confirm the new one is correct
What happens to integrations that point at the old server?
Exchange rules, client-bank terminals and scheduled jobs that hardcode a host name or an address need repointing, and that is the part people underestimate. List them while you inventory the base, before the cutover rather than during it
Do we have to switch to BAS to host 1C with you?
No. We sell the infrastructure, not the accounting software, so we host the version you run today for as long as you run it. If you do move to BAS later, nothing about the server has to change
We may leave 1C within a year - is moving the server now wasted effort?
No. You would be migrating from a server that already has redundant power, a backup schedule and snapshots to roll back to, which is a much better starting point than a machine nobody wants to touch. The infrastructure decision stops blocking the software decision
Can several 1C bases and versions share one server?
Yes, and for an outsourcer that is the normal case - several client bases, each on the version that client runs, on one Windows server with one backup schedule. Size by the number of people signing in at the same time rather than by the number of bases
