Cloud Servers in Europe

What you get with a DCXV cloud server

Every cloud server is a KVM virtual machine with dedicated vCPU time, its own NVMe storage and full root or Administrator access - not a container sharing a kernel with strangers. You choose the operating system at order time, reinstall it whenever you like, and reach the machine over SSH, RDP or the browser console when the network is the thing that broke.

Backups are optional and off by default: add one or more from the calculator and the price updates immediately, so you only pay for what you actually turned on. Snapshots are separate, free and instant: take one before a risky change and roll back in seconds if it goes wrong.

• KVM virtualisation with dedicated vCPU time, never oversold containers
• NVMe storage throughout, with as many backup copies as you choose to add
• Root or Administrator access, plus a KVM console that works when SSH does not
• IPv4 included, IPv6 on request, and unmetered traffic on a shared gigabit port
• Resize CPU, RAM and disk without rebuilding - disk grows in place

What a cloud server costs, and what moves the number

The calculator above prices the exact machine you configure rather than pushing you into a tier that is half wasted. Four things move the figure: vCPU count, RAM, NVMe capacity and the number of backup copies. Everything else - the IPv4 address, the traffic, the console, the reinstalls - is included.

Cloud plans start at 15 EUR per month. Disk is the one dimension worth thinking about twice: capacity under a terabyte is billed at a much lower rate per gigabyte than capacity above it, so 960 GB is dramatically cheaper than 1000 GB. If you need more than that, a dedicated server is usually the better buy.

What people run on them

The common shapes are web and API workloads - Node, Laravel, Django, Next.js - staging environments that need to look like production without costing like it, small and mid-size PostgreSQL or MySQL instances, Docker hosts, CI runners, and VPN or mail gateways that need a stable European address.

Anything that needs a fixed European jurisdiction for its data belongs here too: both data centres are in the EU, so GDPR questions about where personal data physically sits have a short answer.

When to move up to a dedicated server

A cloud server shares its host with other tenants. That is the right trade for most workloads, and it is what makes resizing and snapshots instant. It stops being the right trade when you need every cycle of a physical CPU, more than a terabyte of fast local disk, a specific hardware feature, or a licence that is priced per physical socket.

Sustained heavy load is the other signal. If a machine is pinned near its ceiling all day, every day, the dedicated equivalent is usually cheaper per unit of work and never contends with a neighbour.

Dedicated Servers

Getting started, and moving an existing server in

Ordering takes about ten minutes end to end: configure, pay, and the machine is provisioned and reachable. Pick an image from the catalogue, or boot your own ISO if you need a distribution or a partition layout we do not ship.

Migrating in is the same work as any server move - rsync or your application's own dump-and-restore, a DNS TTL lowered a day ahead, and a snapshot taken the moment the new machine is serving correctly. If you are moving from another provider and want a second pair of eyes on the plan, support will read it before you start.
