When a workload needs a whole machine, a dedicated server in Hong Kong gives you every core, every gigabyte of memory and every disk to yourself, in a city that bridges mainland China and Southeast Asia. Our servers are housed in a Tier 3+ facility in Hong Kong SAR and connect through a multi-ISP BGP blend, with five IPv4 addresses and KVM over IP or IPMI remote access on every machine.
Five Intel Xeon configurations are available, from an E3-1220 v3 with 8 GB RAM at $99 per month to a dual E5-2660 system with 24 GB RAM, SSD and a 1 TB drive at $339 per month. Linux is installed as standard and Windows Server is available on request. Delivery is usually 12 to 24 hours, and up to two or three days depending on hardware. Below we explain the hardware, network, management and how to choose the right box.

A Hong Kong dedicated server is not shared with anyone. CPU caches, memory bandwidth and disk queues serve your workload alone, which removes the variability that can affect latency-sensitive trading or game processes. Every resource on the board is reserved for you.
Servers live in a Tier 3+ data centre in Hong Kong SAR, a class of facility designed so that power and cooling components can be maintained without taking the hosted equipment offline. That design helps keep hosted servers running during maintenance work.
Traffic leaves Hong Kong over a blend of several internet providers using BGP. If one upstream has a problem or a poor route, traffic can follow another path towards China, Southeast Asia or beyond. That flexibility suits a city serving several large markets.
Out-of-band management lets you see the console, power cycle the machine and mount install media remotely. You can recover from a bad kernel or firewall rule without waiting for someone on site. It turns most lock-outs into short self-service fixes.
Each Hong Kong dedicated server includes five IPv4 addresses. Use them to separate services, run several TLS sites with distinct IPs, host virtual machines or keep management traffic apart from public traffic. All five addresses route through the same Hong Kong network.
Servers ship with Linux by default. If your application stack depends on Windows, request Windows Server when you order and the machine is prepared with it instead of a Linux distribution. Mention the edition you need in your order notes.
The Hong Kong dedicated range is built on proven Intel Xeon platforms. Each configuration has a clear role.
Physical infrastructure sets the ceiling for everything above it. Our Hong Kong dedicated servers sit in a facility rated Tier 3+, a design standard aimed at concurrent maintainability: power and cooling paths are redundant enough that individual components can be serviced while servers keep running.
On the network side, servers connect through a multi-ISP BGP blend. BGP is the routing protocol the internet uses to decide paths between networks. With several upstream providers announced over BGP, inbound and outbound traffic is not tied to a single carrier, so the network can steer around an outage or an inefficient route. For a city that serves both mainland China and Southeast Asia, having several carriers is particularly helpful, because the best path to Shenzhen may not be the best path to Singapore.
Each Hong Kong dedicated server comes with a 10 Mbps unmetered port, and the port can be upgraded to 50 Mbps. It is worth being clear about what that means so you choose the right service.
Unmetered means you are not billed by the gigabyte: the port can run continuously at its rated speed. A 10 Mbps port suits workloads where the server does a lot of computing and sends relatively compact responses, such as trading engines, API back ends, databases, game logic, CI jobs and private services. A 50 Mbps upgrade gives more headroom for busier sites and larger responses.
If your main need is pushing large volumes of media or downloads to many users, compare with our Hong Kong VPS plans, which include unlimited traffic, or combine the two: keep compute and data on the dedicated server and serve heavy static files from VPS instances or a CDN.
Remote management is what makes a server several thousand kilometres away feel like one on your desk. IPMI and KVM over IP work independently of the operating system, through a separate management controller on the motherboard.
Treat management access as sensitive. Use strong credentials, keep them in a password manager and do not share them more widely than needed.
Hong Kong dedicated servers are delivered with Linux unless you ask otherwise. Linux suits most server roles: web and API stacks, databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL, container hosts, game servers, VPN concentrators and hypervisors such as Proxmox or plain KVM.
If your stack depends on Microsoft technologies, such as IIS, .NET Framework, MSSQL or Windows-only trading software, request Windows Server when you place the order. Mention the edition you need in the order notes or a sales ticket so it can be prepared before delivery. With IPMI access you can also install a different operating system yourself later.
The E3-1220 v3, E3-1230L v3 and E3-1265L configurations use a single 1 TB SATA drive. That gives plenty of room for logs, backups and files at a modest price. For database-heavy work, keep frequently accessed data in RAM through caching, and schedule heavy writes outside peak hours.
The E3-1240 v2 and dual E5-2660 servers pair a 256 GB SSD with a 1 TB drive. A common layout is:
Remember that local backups protect against mistakes but not against the loss of the server itself. Always keep at least one copy of important data somewhere else.
Execution engines, risk checks and market data handlers benefit from a machine with no noisy neighbours. The E3-1240 v2 with 16 GB RAM and SSD is a balanced choice; the E3-1220 v3 is fine for a single focused strategy engine.
Many game servers favour strong single cores and enough RAM for the world state. An E3 server runs one or a few instances well. For several game modes or many community servers, the dual E5-2660 gives more cores to spread them across.
The dual E5-2660 with 24 GB RAM and five IPv4 addresses is a natural small hypervisor for a few internal VMs, test environments or segmented services.
Compilation, data processing and scheduled analytics scale with core count, so the dual-socket machine is the best fit. The SSD keeps working directories fast, and the 1 TB drive holds artefacts.
A dedicated server gives you complete control, which includes complete responsibility for its security. A sensible baseline:
If you are not sure how to apply a setting, a technical ticket is the right place to ask.
A Hong Kong VPS is quicker to resize and includes unlimited traffic, so it is the right default for most new projects. A dedicated server becomes the better choice when:
Many customers run a mix: databases and core engines on dedicated hardware, and web front ends or regional proxies on VPS instances in the same city.
Five IPv4 addresses come with every Hong Kong dedicated server. Some practical ways to use them:
Plan your address layout before you go live. Write down which IP carries which service, set reverse DNS where your mail or monitoring tools depend on it, and keep the list with your other runbook notes. When you later add a service or move one between servers, a clear map of addresses makes the change quick and avoids surprises such as a firewall rule that still points at an old IP. If you are building a small private cloud, reserve at least one address for the hypervisor itself and allocate the rest to guests that need public reachability.
Dedicated servers are usually delivered within 12 to 24 hours of a confirmed order. When a specific configuration needs preparing, delivery can take up to two or three days. If you have a launch date, order early and mention it in a sales ticket.
Once your access details arrive, plan the move in stages: install and configure software, copy data, test using a hosts-file override, lower DNS TTLs, then cut over during a quiet period. Keep your previous server available for a short time in case you need to roll back.
For larger moves, consider running both servers in parallel for a while. Replicate the database to Hong Kong, send a small share of traffic to the new machine, and watch error rates and response times before switching everything over. This approach is slower, but it lets you confirm real-world performance for users in mainland China and Southeast Asia before the old environment is retired.
They are located in Hong Kong SAR in a Tier 3+ data centre, connected through a multi-ISP BGP blend. The facility design allows power and cooling components to be maintained while servers stay online, and the multi-carrier network gives traffic several possible paths in and out of Hong Kong. Every server also includes five IPv4 addresses and remote IPMI access.
The entry configuration is an Intel Xeon E3-1220 v3 with 8 GB RAM and a 1 TB SATA drive for $99 per month. It suits a single application, a VPN or monitoring hub, a backup target or a game server. Larger configurations go up to a dual Xeon E5-2660 at $339 per month.
Each server has a 10 Mbps unmetered port, so you are not charged per gigabyte, and the port can be upgraded to 50 Mbps. This suits compute-focused workloads well. If you need to deliver large amounts of media, consider pairing the server with Hong Kong VPS plans that include unlimited traffic.
Yes. Linux is installed by default, and Windows Server is available on request. Mention the edition you need when ordering or in a sales ticket so the server is prepared with it. You can also reinstall the operating system yourself through KVM over IP or IPMI. Linux remains the standard choice for most server workloads.
Every Hong Kong dedicated server includes five IPv4 addresses. You can use them to separate services, host virtual machines, keep a dedicated management address or run mail on a different IP from your websites, which helps keep firewall rules and sending reputation tidy. Plan your address layout before going live to keep things organised.
Delivery is usually 12 to 24 hours after your order is confirmed. Some configurations can take up to two or three days to prepare. If you have a fixed launch date, place the order early and tell the sales team so they can let you know what to expect. Your access details appear in the client area once the server is ready.
It gives you console access independent of the operating system. You can watch the server boot, enter the BIOS, power cycle or reset the machine, mount an ISO to reinstall or rescue the system, and fix network or firewall mistakes that cut off normal SSH or RDP access. Keep these management credentials safe and private.
Start with a VPS if you want quick resizing and unlimited traffic. Choose a dedicated server when you need the whole CPU for latency-sensitive work, want to run your own hypervisor, need several IP addresses on one host, or have heavy steady load. Many customers combine both in Hong Kong.
