Compare VPS and dedicated servers

Pay only for the server your workload needs. Start with a KVM VPS, step up to a managed cPanel VPS, or take a whole dedicated machine with up to 128 cores. Every server comes with root access, SSD or NVMe storage, a 99.9% uptime SLA and people in Harare who know it.

Unlimited cPanel accounts, LiteSpeed and Imunify360 on every dedicated server.

When a VPS stops being enough, take the whole machine

A dedicated server gives you every core and every gigabyte, with cPanel, LiteSpeed, CloudLinux, Imunify360 and management already sorted.

The machine

On a VPS or doing it yourself: A VPS shares its physical host with other virtual servers

With a Tremhost dedicated server: A dedicated server is one physical machine. Every core, stick of RAM and drive is yours

Software licences

On a VPS or doing it yourself: Bought directly: cPanel Premier Metal $69.99 (100 accounts, then $0.49 each), LiteSpeed $36, CloudLinux $18 and Imunify360 from $12 a month. That is $135.99 a month

With a Tremhost dedicated server: All four included on every dedicated server, with unlimited cPanel accounts

Running it

On a VPS or doing it yourself: Patching, securing and watching a physical server yourself

With a Tremhost dedicated server: Semi-managed or fully managed by our technicians. Fully managed adds daily backups. Root access is still yours

If it goes down

On a VPS or doing it yourself: Hoping the hardware holds

With a Tremhost dedicated server: 99.9% uptime in a written SLA, with service credits if we miss it

List prices checked 2 November 2026, US dollars a month: cPanel Store license pricing, effective 16 December 2025, Premier Metal $69.99 for 100 accounts, then $0.49 per account (support.cpanel.net); LiteSpeed Web Host Essential $36 (litespeedtech.com); CloudLinux, unlimited accounts, one server, $18 (cloudlinux.com); Imunify360, lowest listed tier, $12 (imunify360.com). $69.99 + $36 + $18 + $12 = $135.99.

How many hosting clients pay for the server?

If you resell hosting, enter what one client pays you a month. We divide each server's monthly price by it. The starting value is only an example.

  • Dedicated 1 at $180 a month36 clients
  • Dedicated 2 at $320 a month64 clients
  • Dedicated 3 at $480 a month96 clients
  • Dedicated 4 at $880 a month176 clients
  • Dedicated 5 at $3,200 a month640 clients
  • Dedicated 6 at $4,800 a month960 clients

Clients needed = server price ÷ what one client pays, rounded up. Setup fees are one-time and not included. Every client beyond that number is margin.

Included on every dedicated server

The servers differ in CPU, RAM, storage, network and how much we manage.

  • cPanel & WHM licence

Server questions, answered straight

Still unsure? Ask us on WhatsApp or open a ticket.

What is the difference between a VPS and a dedicated server?

A VPS is a virtual machine: your cores and RAM are dedicated to you, but the physical host is shared with other virtual servers. A dedicated server is the whole physical machine, so nothing else runs on it.

Is the cPanel licence included?

Yes. Every dedicated server includes cPanel & WHM with unlimited cPanel accounts, LiteSpeed, CloudLinux, Imunify360, Softaculous and SitePad. Bought directly, cPanel Premier Metal is $69.99 a month for 100 accounts, then $0.49 for each extra account (list price from 16 December 2025).

Is there a setup fee?

Yes, a one-time fee paid with the first month: $40 on Dedicated 1, $80 on Dedicated 2, $120 on Dedicated 3, $220 on Dedicated 4, $800 on Dedicated 5 and $1,200 on Dedicated 6. Virtual servers have no setup fee.

Which servers are managed, and which include backups?

Dedicated 1, 2 and 3 are semi-managed. Dedicated 4, 5 and 6 are fully managed. The only difference is backups: fully managed servers are backed up daily, with 7 days kept.

Will you move my sites?

Yes, free from any cPanel server, ours or another host's. Open a ticket after you order to plan the move.

Is there DDoS protection?

Yes. Every dedicated server has always-on volumetric DDoS mitigation, two IPv4 addresses, and redundant power and network in the data centre.

How soon is a dedicated server ready?

Within 72 hours of payment. Virtual servers are faster: a KVM VPS is built automatically in minutes, and a managed cPanel VPS takes about 3 hours.

Where are the servers?

In five data centres: Johannesburg (South Africa), New York and Miami (USA), Limburg (Germany) and Roubaix (France). Choose the location when you order. For users in Southern Africa, Johannesburg is the closest.

What software is included?

cPanel & WHM with unlimited accounts, LiteSpeed, CloudLinux, Imunify360, Softaculous and SitePad, on every dedicated server.

Do I get root access?

Yes, on every server, managed or not.

Is the storage in RAID?

Yes on Dedicated 2 to 6: two NVMe drives in RAID (software RAID on 2, 3 and 4). Dedicated 1 has two 450 GB NVMe drives.

What uptime do you commit to?

99.9% a month for dedicated servers and VPS, with service credits if we miss it. See our service level agreement.

Should I start with a VPS?

Often, yes. A managed cPanel VPS handles most agencies and businesses for $80 to $120 a month, with free migration and daily backups. Move to dedicated when you need the whole machine.

How do I pay?

Monthly or yearly, in US dollars by EcoCash, InnBucks, ZimSwitch, Omari, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Tron or Litecoin.

24 cores and 128 GB of RAM for about $10.52 a day

Dedicated 2 is $320 a month plus $80 setup: an AMD EPYC 7451, two NVMe drives in RAID, 500 Mbps with unlimited traffic, cPanel with unlimited accounts, LiteSpeed, CloudLinux and Imunify360. Ready within 72 hours.
