In short

What is a root server & vServer?

A root server gives you full root access to a virtual server with dedicated CPU cores, RAM and NVMe storage. Unlike classic shared hosting, you do not share performance with other customers. At FameSystems every root server runs as a KVM instance on AMD EPYC, AMD Ryzen or Intel Xeon hardware in the TÜV Level 3 and ISO 27001 certified data center in Frankfurt am Main.

Which platform is right depends on the workload: AMD EPYC offers many cores and lots of memory for virtualization, containers and databases. AMD Ryzen with DDR5 delivers the highest single-core performance, ideal for game servers and latency-sensitive applications. Intel Xeon is the affordable entry for web projects, bots and test environments. A vServer (LXC) is even cheaper but shares the kernel with the host.

Which option suits you?

Four typical situations and our recommendation for each.

01

You run game servers or latency-sensitive applications

Performance per core is what counts here. AMD Ryzen with DDR5 delivers the highest clock speeds in the range.

To the Ryzen root server
02

You need many cores for virtualization, Docker or Kubernetes

AMD EPYC scales across many cores and lots of memory. With DDR5 also for memory-intensive workloads.

To the EPYC DDR5 root server
03

You need Windows Server with Remote Desktop

Windows root servers come with a license and RDP access, on DDR4 or DDR5 hardware.

To the Windows root server
04

You want to start cheaply or try something out

An Intel vServer or Intel root server is the most affordable entry, upgradable at any time.

Frequently asked questions

You can find our entire knowledge database with all questions and help in our here Helpdeks.

Ein Rootserver läuft bei FameSystems als KVM-Instanz mit eigenem Kernel und fest zugewiesenen CPU-Kernen, Arbeitsspeicher und NVMe-Speicher. Ein vServer nutzt LXC-Container-Virtualisierung und teilt sich den Kernel mit dem Hostsystem. Er ist dadurch günstiger, eignet sich aber nicht für eigene Kernel-Module oder Virtualisierung innerhalb des Servers.

Die Bereitstellung läuft automatisiert. Nach Zahlungseingang wird der Server in der Regel innerhalb weniger Minuten installiert, die Zugangsdaten findest du im Webinterface. Eine Einrichtungsgebühr gibt es nicht.

Ja. Über das Webinterface installierst du dein Linux-System jederzeit neu und wählst dabei aus den angebotenen Distributionen. Beachte, dass bei einer Neuinstallation alle Daten auf dem Server gelöscht werden.

Ja. Ein Upgrade auf ein größeres Paket oder mehr Ressourcen ist jederzeit über das Webinterface möglich. Da alle Produkte Prepaid abgerechnet werden, bindest du dich dabei an keine Mindestlaufzeit.

Ja. Jeder Rootserver wird ohne Aufpreis durch Arbor Networks mit bis zu 1 Tbit/s Mitigationskapazität geschützt. Angriffe werden automatisch erkannt und gefiltert, dein Server bleibt erreichbar.

Im TÜV-Level-3- und ISO-27001-zertifizierten Rechenzentrum Maincubes FRA01 in Frankfurt am Main. Deine Daten bleiben damit in Deutschland und unterliegen der DSGVO. Jeder Server erhält ein eigenes /64-IPv6-Subnetz.

FameSystems relies on the worldwide market leader Arbor Networks. Our DDoS protection (up to 1 Tbit/s) mitigates all customer traffic 24/7 so that potential attacks are filtered and blocked in real time. You can find more information about FameSystems DDoS protection here.

You can upgrade your product at any time via the customer area. If you are already using the largest package, you are welcome to contact us about an upgrade and we will carry out a customised upgrade for you.

As soon as you rent a server from us, you enter into a contract with us, similar to shopping at the corner shop. Since our contract is made over the internet, it is of particular importance that you provide correct information in your profile, including your full name, street and house number, your place of residence with postcode and country. This information is especially important if you rent a domain or a root/vserver from us. For example, domains ending in ".de" can only be rented with correct information, as we are bound by the specifications of DENIC (http://www.denic.de). For root and vServers, you are responsible for all operations on your server. In case of problems or complaints, we always need a direct contact person, which is why a correct address is also essential in this case.
