📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

ServerAstra is a Hungarian infrastructure provider established in 2006, with services centered on cloud computing, virtual servers, dedicated hardware, colocation and domain registration. The business began as a server-rental project, joined Azar-A Ltd. in 2011 and continued under ServerAstra Ltd. from 2015. Andrey Azarov is associated with the company as co-founder and CTO.

This is primarily a provider for developers, system administrators, hosting businesses and companies that need direct control over their infrastructure. Traditional shared hosting, managed WordPress packages, bundled business email and website-builder services are not part of the main portfolio. Customers are generally expected to manage their own operating systems, applications, security and server maintenance unless they purchase additional administration services.

Cloud Compute is the entry-level virtual-machine range. New York instances use Intel Xeon processors with SSD storage, while the Budapest platform uses AMD EPYC processors with NVMe storage. Both locations use KVM virtualization and ECC memory. Each instance includes root access, VNC access, operating-system templates, custom ISO support, one IPv4 address and an IPv6 /64 network.

Cloud Compute configurations begin with one virtual processor, 1 GB of memory and 20 GB of storage. Larger plans provide as many as eight virtual processors, 16 GB of memory and 300 GB of storage. Included monthly transfer ranges from 4 TB to 24 TB, while incoming traffic is unmetered. Processor capacity, memory, disk space and transfer allowances can be expanded when a project requires more resources.

These smaller cloud plans work well for development systems, VPN gateways, monitoring tools, lightweight applications and websites that do not require a fully managed hosting environment.

Cloud Plus is the more powerful Budapest cloud platform. It uses AMD EPYC processors, NVMe storage, DDR4 ECC memory and KVM virtualization. Plans range from one virtual processor with 2 GB of memory to eight virtual processors with 16 GB of memory.

Cloud Plus includes nightly backups retained for seven days, together with the option to create an additional backup manually. When the included traffic allowance is consumed, the connection is reduced to 10 Mbps rather than being completely suspended. This makes the service more suitable for e-commerce systems, databases and production applications that must remain reachable after exceeding their monthly allowance.

A separate VPS/VDS range remains available alongside the newer cloud platforms. These virtual dedicated servers use Intel Xeon processors, KVM virtualization and SSD RAID 10 storage. Paid configurations begin with 512 MB of memory and extend to four virtual processors, 4 GB of memory and 160 GB of SSD capacity.

The VPS/VDS plans include unmetered connections, VNC access, IPv4, IPv6 and seven days of nightly backups. One older entry has an abnormal zero or negative price in the billing catalog, so that configuration requires confirmation from sales before ordering.

The Dedicated Servers portfolio includes ready-to-use and customized systems in Budapest and New York. Hardware options range from Intel Xeon E3 and dual-Xeon platforms to AMD Ryzen and AMD EPYC servers. Depending on the configuration, customers can select ECC memory, NVMe drives, enterprise SSD storage, hardware or software RAID, remote backup capacity and network ports reaching 10 Gbps or 100 Gbps.

Dedicated servers include one IPv4 address, an IPv6 /56 allocation, DDoS protection and remote administration access. IPMI is protected through a private VPN, while IPKVM and remote power controls allow customers to restart hardware, diagnose boot problems and reinstall an operating system without physical access to the server.

Bring Your Own IP is supported without an additional ServerAstra service charge. Preconfigured servers are normally activated within 24 hours, while customized hardware generally requires between one and five business days or longer, depending on the selected components.

Limited-stock clearance servers are also available in Budapest. These systems use older hardware and can provide a lower-cost option for backup servers, testing environments and workloads that do not require current-generation processors.

ServerAstra also offers high-bandwidth network and VPN instances for applications with intensive transfer requirements. An AI-server category exists in the billing system, although it does not currently contain orderable configurations.

Colocation is available in the Budapest Dataplex facility. Customers can colocate a single rack unit or order a quarter rack, half rack or complete 42U cabinet. The service includes IP resources, DDoS protection, carrier choice and optional remote assistance.

Organizations with their own autonomous system or IP allocations can arrange Bring Your Own IP announcements after supplying the required letter of authorization. This makes the colocation service suitable for network operators, hosting companies and businesses that need control over both their hardware and routing.

Domain registration is available for several hundred country-code and generic extensions. Customers can register new domains, transfer existing names and process renewals through the same billing area used for infrastructure services.

The main company website is available in English. The customer and billing interface supports Arabic, Azerbaijani, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Persian, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian.

Prices can be displayed in euros, Hungarian forints and US dollars. The website and customer interface use a responsive layout that works on desktop and mobile devices. Product navigation is generally straightforward, although the combination of newer cloud services, older VPS plans and inactive specialist categories makes the billing catalog less consistent than the main website.
