Many hosting providers allow you to configure dedicated servers with AMD CPUs, giving you the multi-core processing benefits of this platform. When you create a website or web application, at first, you will probably be okay with a shared hosting service. But eventually, your site will grow, and you will start to run into limitations of bandwidth, processing power, or memory capacity. Then it will be time to consider the benefits that a dedicated server, acquired through an IaaS or PaaS scheme, can bring you. For example:

Total control: you don’t have to worry about “neighboring” websites (those using your same shared hosting) consuming too much bandwidth or processing resources.High performance and bandwidth: you can access as many CPUs and as much memory as you want, obviously, as far as your budget allows. At the same time, your hosting provider will guarantee you the bandwidth you need and will give you options on the geographical location of your server to minimize access latencies.Security: As the owner of your server, you can configure it with the security tools of your choice. And since you don’t have to share it with other sites, you won’t have to worry about your neighbors leaving the door open to threats that could affect your sites.Flexibility and scalability: When you need to change your server’s configuration, you only have to notify your hosting provider of your need and entrust them with the tasks of data migration and reconfiguration, keeping downtimes at a minimum.

Logically, all these benefits come at a higher price than a shared hosting service. But that price will surely be much lower than buying a physical server, connecting it to the world, and keeping it in optimal operating conditions and safe from all the calamities that can happen to it.

Dedicated AMD Server Hosting

Dedicated hosting essentially means your website has its own server that is not shared with anyone else. By having your own dedicated server, you will be able to configure it as you wish. And this means that you can freely choose what hardware your server will have: CPU, amount of memory, and storage capacity. Notably, as far as CPUs are concerned, you can choose the brand and model that is most suitable for your needs. In terms of brand, the choices basically boil down to two: Intel and AMD. The choice of one or the other depends on the applications you will run on your server. AMD CPUs excel at running multi-threaded applications, which can scale into multi-core CPUs, while Intel CPUs are preferred for single-threaded applications that require a lot of processing power in each core. AMD has basically two architectures in terms of server CPUs: EPYC and Ryzen. EPYC is a platform specifically designed for servers and data centers. Thanks to its high core count, scalability, and high I/O bandwidth, it is being used not only for typical server applications, such as database management systems, but also for machine learning applications and scientific simulations. On the other hand, the Ryzen architecture, besides having high core counts, offers a high frequency in each of its cores, reaching up to 4.5 GHz in Boost speed, which gives it an important advantage in single-threaded applications. Many providers offer AMD dedicated servers, each with aspects that differentiate them from others. Below we highlight the service features of each one of them to help you choose the most suitable for your needs.

Liquid Web

Liquid Web offers two AMD dedicated server options. Both options offer dual EPYC 7302 CPUs with a total of 32 cores running at 3 GHz, along with 128 GB of DDR4 DRAM and 2 x 480 GB SSDs in RAID 1 configuration as primary storage. In both cases, the operating system is Linux. The difference between the two options (besides the price) is in the secondary storage: The cheaper option (USD 799 per month) offers 3.8 TB of NVMe storage, while the more expensive one (USD 999 per month) offers 7.6 TB of NVMe storage. Other technical features common to both options are basic protection against DDoS attacks, Acronis backup and cPanel, Plesk, and InterWorx utilities. As added values, the company accompanies its offer of AMD dedicated servers with a personalized service of consultants, free migrations, automatic application of security patches, proactive monitoring, and service level agreements (SLA) that guarantee 100% uptime in energy supply and network service.
