About the category

Dedicated servers for developers on Linux with DDoS protection

A curated selection: Dedicated servers for developers on Linux with DDoS protection. We picked providers matching these criteria and sorted them by rating and real reviews.

What matters about this combination of criteria: A dedicated server is 100% of a physical machine's resources with no neighbours. Developers need root access, OS choice and an API for automation. Linux is a stable, free foundation for most sites and applications. DDoS protection filters attack traffic before it reaches the server.

Bottom line: for most projects in Ukraine the ideal VPS means NVMe storage, a 99.9%+ SLA, a convenient panel and support in your language. Start with the ranking leaders above and compare them side by side.

Frequently asked questions

When you need guaranteed resources with no neighbours: high-load sites, large databases, rendering, video processing. When a VPS no longer suffices or maximum performance matters.
A dedicated server is a full physical machine just for you. A VPS is a virtual slice of a physical server shared with others. Dedicated costs more but gives 100% of the resources.
A KVM VPS with root access, any-OS choice, the ability to upload a custom ISO and an API/CLI for code-based management. NVMe disks speed up builds and database work.
Yes, some providers offer hourly billing — handy for test environments needed for a few hours. Create, test, delete — you pay only for the runtime.
Linux is free, stable, secure and light on resources. Over 90% of the world's sites run on Linux, so all web technologies are optimized for it.
Ubuntu — most beginner-friendly with lots of documentation. Debian — maximally stable. AlmaLinux/Rocky — a CentOS replacement for those used to the RHEL ecosystem.

люблю их панель Directadmin – она намного удобнее и понятнее, чем Cpanel. Хорошая производительность и скорость серверов. В общем, все отлично.

Не предоставлять на тарифах хостинга SSL в наше время это голимый отстой.

Качественная и быстрая служба поддержки (правда в ночное время принимают только срочные заказы, смотрите в личном кабинете при создании тикета есть опция выбора) Сервера в основном новые, по крайней мере у меня.
