Order a dedicated server of any configuration
The custom configuration server can be built in the configurator in control panel components.
Server assembly takes from one to five business days, depending on the configuration. When the server is ready for delivery, an email notification will be sent and you can connect to. The paid period begins at that point. When the paid period expires, the server will be extended automatically and the money will be deducted from the main balance. If you no longer want to use the server — disable server.
For assistance with component selection, create a ticket in the control panel or contact us.
-
In Control Panel, go to Servers and Hardware → Servers.
-
Click Order Server. If you don't already have a dedicated server, the order page will open automatically.
-
Click the Server Configurator or GPU Server Configurator tab.

- for Linux servers SSH key. You can add a new public SSH key or select one from the repository for SSH keys;
- payment plan;
-
Optional: On the Additional Services tab, see the list of additional services available for the configured server. Services can be ordered after the server is handed over.
-
Click Pay Now.
-
Optional: top-up the main balance.
-
Click Pay.
After ordering
When the server is up and running, you will receive an email notification with the parameters for connect to it (login, password link, public IP address of the server). Also, the settings for connecting to the server can be viewed in control panel on the server page → Operating System tab.
The server password will be available to view 24 hours from the date of server handover. If you forget your password, you can reset and recover password.
The list of ordered servers is displayed in control panel, section Servers and Hardware → Servers as cards.
The server card displays the server name, identifier (ID), brief server information, and basic operations: KVM console; reboot; power management; and reorder.
Clicking on the server card opens the server page. On the server page you can:
- view payment information, next payment date and period, pay server;
- view server configuration information and change-configuration-of-custom-server;
- manage-networks;
- view consumption statistics and change traffic consumption model;
- manage server power, reboot the server (including in recovery and diagnostic mode);
- work in KVM-console;
- install and reinstall the operating system autoinstall or manually;
- order and manage additional services.
Web
When the server is handed over, it is automatically allocated 1 IPv4 public address from a shared subnet. Optionally, you can order a dedicated block of IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses. To do this, go to Servers and Hardware → Network in the Control Panel.
Select accessories in the configurator
The Selectel control panel implements a configurator to help you build a server with compatible components. If necessary, our specialists will answer all your questions and help you choose the right configuration. Create a ticket in the dashboard or contact us.
Processor
All processors are listed in the following pattern:
[Processor model] ([number of cores] x [base clock frequency])
[CPU benchmark]
Additional designations:
- HT — support for HyperThreading technology;
- v3 / v6 / vX — version of the processor model.
For example, Intel E5-1650v3 (6x3.5 GHz HT).
Memory
The drop-down list allows you to select the amount of RAM in two ways:
- Select the size of the modules and their number. The configurator will automatically show the total volume ordered.
- Select the total amount of memory.
Additional designations:
- Reg — register memory;
- ECC is an error correction mechanism.
For example, a 64GB DDR4 ECC Reg LRDIMM.
When selecting RAM, it is recommended to pay attention to the channelization of the processor. Maximum performance is achieved when all memory channels of the processor are utilized.
Disks
By default, the disks are installed in the following order: NVMe → SSD → HDD. If you need a different installation order, please specify it in the comments at checkout.
The following types of server drives are available for ordering, which differ in both features and purpose:
- HDD — hard disk drives;
- SSDs are solid state drives that connect via a SATA interface;
- NVME — NVMe solid state drives;
- OPTANE is an Intel® SSD featuring 3D XPoint technology.
Additional designations:
- IMDT — Technology Support Intel® Memory Drive Technology;
- U.2 is the form factor of SSD disks;
- HHHL is a form factor for SSD disks.
Network cards
Each random-configuration server is equipped by default with two RJ45 network interfaces with a communication rate of 1 Gbps each. The first interface is used to connect the Internet channel and the second interface is used for the local network.
We can organize internet and LAN connections up to 400 Gbps, to do so create a ticket.
You can order the installation of additional NICs and reserve the connection with MC-LAG.
- 2 x 1 GE + 1 Gbps Local Port — Optional NIC with two interfaces, each 1 Gbps, and 1 Gbps Local Port service;
- 2 x 1 GE + MC-LAG to 1 Gbit/s LAN — additional NIC with two interfaces, each 1 Gbit/s, as well as the MC-LAG Redundant Connection service for redundant LAN connection;
- 2 x 1 GE + MC-LAG to 1 Gbit/s Internet network — additional network card with two interfaces, each 1 Gbit/s, as well as MC-LAG Redundant Connection service for redundant Internet link;
- 2 x 10 GE + 10 Gbps Local Port — Optional NIC with two optical interfaces, each 10 Gbps, and 10 Gbps Local Port service;
- 2 x 10 GE + MC-LAG to 10 Gbps LAN — additional network card with two optical interfaces, each 10 Gbps, as well as the MC-LAG Redundant Connection service for redundant LAN connection;
- 2 x 10 GE + MC-LAG to 10 Gbit/s Internet network — additional network card with two optical interfaces, each 10 Gbit/s, as well as MC-LAG Redundant Connection service for redundant Internet link.
HBAs and RAID controllers
Ordering additional disk controllers is necessary when the number of disks exceeds the number of SATA ports on the motherboard or when additional data protection with hardware RAID is required:
- HBA (no RAID) 16 ports — allows up to 16 additional SATA/SAS disks, but does not support the ability to build a hardware RAID array;
- RAID controller 8 ports + Cache Protection — allows you to additionally connect up to 8 SATA/SAS drives, organize a hardware disk array and protect cache data in case of a sudden power outage;
- RAID controller 16 ports + Cache Protection — allows you to additionally connect up to 16 SATA/SAS disks, organize a hardware disk array and protect cache data in case of a sudden power outage;
- RAID controller 24 ports + Cache Protection — allows you to additionally connect up to 24 SATA/SAS drives, organize a hardware disk array and protect cache data in case of a sudden power outage;
- RAID controller 16 ports + SSD Cache — allows you to additionally connect up to 16 SATA/SAS disks and use an array of fast SSD disks to buffer read/write accesses to HDD-arrays and store the cache in case of a sudden power outage.
GPU
For servers with a graphics gas pedal unit (GPU), graphics cards are available in PCI-e devices. A maximum of 8 graphics cards can be installed in a single server.
