A physical dedicated server is a separate physical machine, all resources of which are provided to the customer. The customer gets full administrative access to the management of software and hardware components of the server without access restrictions. Significant computing power and high bandwidth of the communication channel allow to place on a dedicated server projects of any complexity: from online stores and forums with high traffic to mail servers and database servers.
Servers are provided with the operating system already installed, which can be selected at the stage of order formation. If the required distribution is not in the list of operating systems available for installation, you can install and configure an OS yourself using IPMI.
Automatically changing the server configuration via your personal account is not possible, as this entails replacing/adding server components or completely replacing the platform. Please send a request to dedicated@nic.ru and we will respond with a letter describing your further actions and discuss the time of suspension of the dedicated server for modifications.
For a new server, additional IP addresses can be enabled when ordering at the configuration selection stage. For an active server, an additional IP address is provided upon request to dedicated@nic.ru.
