Quick answer: Log in to the Cloud2Y Client Area, open the Store and pick a Dedicated Server plan in your preferred location — Ukraine (Kyiv, Lviv), Europe (Amsterdam) or Singapore. Configure the options (OS, disk & RAID, RAM, bandwidth, extra IPv4, DDoS protection), choose a billing cycle and pay. The server is typically ready within 24 hours.
Overview
A dedicated server is an entire physical machine reserved for you, so ordering involves a few more choices than a VPS: hardware configuration, RAID layout and network options are fixed at provisioning time and are harder to change later. This guide walks through a first dedicated order; if you are not sure a dedicated server is the right fit, compare it with a VPS/VDS first via the ordering overview.
Before you start
- A Cloud2Y account and a payment method (Visa/Mastercard, Pay by Card — Apple Pay & Google Pay — or USDT).
- Your workload profile: CPU cores, RAM, disk type/size and expected traffic.
- A preferred location — close to your users for the lowest latency.
- A decision on RAID layout — it is set during provisioning.
Step-by-step guide
- Log in and open the Store → Dedicated Servers.
- Pick a plan with the CPU/RAM/disk base that matches your workload.
- Set the configurable options: operating system, disk & RAID, RAM, bandwidth/port speed, additional IPv4 addresses and DDoS protection.
- Select a billing cycle — longer cycles discount the base price.
- Review the Order Summary, pay, and watch the service status — see how provisioning works.
Common issues
- No plan matches your needs? Request a custom configuration — many combinations are possible on request.
- Server not instant? Unlike VPS, dedicated hardware is prepared manually — typically within 24 hours, longer for complex configs.
- Chose the wrong RAID or disk option? Contact support before the server is handed over — changing RAID after data is on the disks requires a reinstall.
When to contact support
Open a ticket if you need a configuration the store does not list, want advice choosing between locations or plans, or your order has been pending noticeably longer than the expected window — see provisioning times.
Frequently asked questions
How fast is a dedicated server ready after payment?
A Cloud2Y dedicated server is typically ready within 24 hours of confirmed payment. Exact setup time varies with the selected configuration, and custom builds can take longer.
Which locations are available?
Cloud2Y provisions dedicated servers in Ukraine (Kyiv DC2 and Lviv DC3), in Europe (Amsterdam) and in Singapore, so you can host close to your users.
Can I change the configuration after ordering?
RAM, bandwidth and IP addresses can usually be changed later on request. Disk and RAID layout changes require a full reinstall, so decide those before loading production data.
