*📜 Plan description

VD196 is a VD1 virtual dedicated server with 24 dedicated vCPU mapped 1:1 to physical CPU core capacity, 96 GB DDR5 RAM, 1920 GB Ceph-based enterprise NVMe storage, a 1 Gbit/s virtual network port and 35 TB monthly traffic. The monthly price is the 50% first-3-month offer; the regular monthly price is NOK 2799. The VD1 family is designed for near-constant performance using dedicated physical core allocation instead of ordinary shared vCPU scheduling. It runs on an AMD EPYC 9734 Bergamo cluster with Proxmox and Ceph, DDR5-4800 memory and Samsung PM9A3 PCIe Gen 4 enterprise NVMe drives. The VM power reference is 158.8 W.

The VPS platform uses dedicated high-availability Proxmox and Ceph clusters with enterprise NVMe storage, distributed self-healing storage and transparent hardware specifications. Each VM receives dedicated RAM that is not oversubscribed, a defined virtual network port and at least one IPv4 address, with IPv6 available on request. GP3 Linux VMs run on AMD EPYC 9474F hardware with DDR5-4800 memory and Samsung PM9A3 PCIe Gen 4 enterprise NVMe drives; Windows WGP3 VMs run on AMD EPYC 9274F hardware with fully licensed and pre-activated Windows Server; VD1 virtual dedicated servers map each vCPU to a dedicated physical CPU core on AMD EPYC 9734 hardware. All VPS families use leaf-spine networking, multiple 25 Gbit/s active links per node, dual 100 Gbit/s uplinks and an ISO 27001 certified site. Plans are provisioned automatically within minutes, can be upgraded later without losing data, and include full root or administrator access. Three concurrent snapshots are included with current GP3, WGP3 and VD1 plans, with optional Proxmox Backup Server or Acronis backup tiers. Automatic DDoS protection, migration assistance, REST API options, bring-your-own-IP support and a modern control panel for start, stop and reinstall actions are available. Individual VPS orders have a 30-day full refund guarantee, while larger buyers can request a test VM.

📄 Editorial Review

ServeTheWorld AS is a long-running Norwegian hosting and infrastructure provider serving customers from Oslo, Norway. The original servetheworld.net domain currently leads to stw.no, where the company operates its modern hosting platform in both English and Norwegian Bokmål. The English version is available and usable for international customers, although some prices appear in EUR while newer services are listed in NOK, so the final checkout currency should be verified before ordering.

ServeTheWorld has been active in hosting since 1999, while ServeTheWorld AS was incorporated in 2004. Fredrik Rovik is connected with the company as founder / co-founder and CEO. The business remains especially relevant for customers who want hosting under Norwegian jurisdiction, local technical support, and infrastructure located in Norway rather than a generic offshore hosting setup.

Their product range is broad and practical: domain registration, DNS, shared hosting, WordPress hosting, email hosting, Linux VPS, Windows VPS, virtual dedicated servers, dedicated servers, colocation, SSL certificates, backup-related services and server management options. They are also relevant for .no domain customers, with domain tools for DNS records, name servers, forwarding, registrar lock and transfer code management.

The shared hosting line is simple and business-friendly, with plans such as GH20, GH21 and GH22. These packages include NVMe storage, email accounts, MySQL databases, Let’s Encrypt SSL, anti-spam and anti-virus filtering, webmail, visitor statistics and hosting control panel access. This makes them a reasonable choice for small company websites, personal websites and customers who need website hosting with email included.

The WordPress hosting line is stronger for customers who want better WordPress performance without managing a VPS. Plans such as WP10, WP11 and WP12 include NVMe storage, Redis Cache, AccelerateWP, WordPress Toolkit, daily backup, email, unlimited traffic and WordPress pre-installed. This gives the WordPress product a more complete managed-hosting feel compared with basic shared hosting.

Their newer VPS platform is one of the strongest parts of the company. The GP3 Linux VPS, WGP3 Windows VPS and VD1 virtual dedicated server lines use Proxmox + Ceph clusters, enterprise NVMe storage and AMD EPYC processors. Linux VPS plans include defined CPU, RAM, storage and bandwidth tiers, while Windows VPS includes licensed Windows Server. VD1 is more suitable for predictable workloads because the virtual CPU cores are mapped 1:1 to physical cores.

The dedicated server service is built around AMD Ryzen and AMD EPYC hardware, with build-to-order configurations, 1 Gbit/s included ports, traffic quotas, network upgrades and optional Proxmox VE. This line is better suited for customers that need single-tenant hardware, sustained CPU power, custom storage, virtualization nodes or stronger control over the operating system.

The colocation service is an important differentiator because ServeTheWorld operates data center infrastructure in Oslo. Customers can host their own physical servers in the facility, with redundant infrastructure, strong security, traffic allowances and 24/7 on-call coverage for critical infrastructure issues. Colocation is available for 1U equipment, with extra charges for larger servers, extra ports, extra IP addresses, firewall service, setup and electricity.

In October 2025, ServeTheWorld acquired OnNet customers after OnNet’s founder passed away. This acquisition was a continuity-focused move, especially since OnNet’s servers had already been hosted with ServeTheWorld for many years.
