The E5-2630 v3 is a Haswell-EP part built for throughput rather than peak single-thread speed: eight cores per socket at a 2.4 GHz base, 3.2 GHz turbo, 20 MB of L3 per die, and a modest 85 W TDP. Running two of them gives you 16 physical cores, 32 threads, and eight DDR4 memory channels — a machine that stays busy under parallel load without the power and cooling profile of a modern high-core part.
At €209 a month this is the entry point to our dual-socket range, and it is aimed squarely at workloads that are limited by concurrency rather than clock speed: container hosts running dozens of small services, CI runners chewing through parallel jobs, reverse proxies and application tiers, or a virtualisation host carving out a handful of guests. Every core is yours — there is no hypervisor between you and the hardware, and no neighbours competing for cache or memory bandwidth.
You get full root access from handover, with the operating system you pick at checkout. The delivery estimate at checkout is under an hour, and the server can be ordered in any of our eleven countries across Europe and the US.
What this configuration is good at
Where the Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 earns its price against the rest of the range.
Container and Kubernetes nodes
32 threads is comfortable headroom for a worker node running many small pods, where per-container CPU demand is low but concurrency is high.
Self-hosted CI runners
Parallel build and test jobs scale with thread count. Eight memory channels keep compilation from starving on memory bandwidth.
Web and application tiers
PHP-FPM, Node, Rails and Python workers scale horizontally across cores. 128 GB leaves plenty of room for in-process caching.
Virtualisation hosts
Run Proxmox or plain KVM and split the box into your own VMs, with ECC memory protecting long-running guests.
When to pick something else
If your workload is single-threaded and latency-sensitive — a game server tick loop, a low-latency trading strategy, a small database with heavy point queries — the 2.4 GHz base clock will hold you back. Look at the E5-2690 v4 for a higher clock, or the EPYC 9254 for modern per-core performance.
Compare the full dedicated range
Every configuration ships with a guaranteed 1 Gbps unmetered port, 100 Gbps always-on DDoS protection (L3/L4), one usable IPv4 address and no setup fee.

Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 — common questions
How many physical cores does this server have?
16 physical cores and 32 threads in total — two E5-2630 v3 processors with eight cores each, with Hyper-Threading enabled. All cores are dedicated to you.
Is this an E5-2630L v3 server?
No. Both sockets hold the standard E5-2630 v3: eight cores at a 2.4 GHz base and 3.2 GHz turbo, 85 W each. The E5-2630L v3 is the low-power version of the same chip, with the same eight cores and 20 MB of L3 cache but a 1.8 GHz base, 2.9 GHz turbo and 55 W. If you were looking for an E5-2630L v3 server, this build gives you the same core count at higher clocks.
Is the bandwidth really unmetered?
Yes. The port is 1 Gbps guaranteed with no traffic cap and no overage billing. Faster guaranteed ports — 2, 5, 10 or 20 Gbps — can be chosen at checkout for an extra monthly fee.
Which operating systems can I choose?
At checkout: Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS Stream, Fedora, openSUSE, Oracle Linux, Arch Linux, FreeBSD, Proxmox VE and Windows Server 2022 or 2025. If you need something else, ask support before ordering.
What storage is included?
One 240 GB SSD. At checkout you can switch to 2× 500 GB, or to six SSDs of 1, 2, 4 or 8 TB each, for an extra monthly fee. If you need a particular RAID layout, ask before you order.
How does this compare to a VPS with the same core count?
A VPS shares physical cores across tenants and scheduling is arbitrated by the hypervisor. Here the full L3 cache, all eight memory channels and every core belong to one workload, so throughput is predictable under sustained load rather than best-effort.
