How to Order a Dedicated Server

At OVHcloud, we are proud to provide our customers with a bare metal server, which we call a Dedicated Server. A Dedicated Server has numerous advantages over other offerings; such as a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or a public cloud environment. A Dedicated Server is a single-tenant environment, which ensures that you have 100% of the server's resources at your disposal all the time. In this article, we will cover how to order a Dedicated Server via the OVHcloud Manager.
