The AMD EPYC 9254 dedicated server from voxa.host has 24 physical cores and 48 threads at a 2.9 GHz base, 128 GB DDR5 ECC and 2× 1 TB NVMe (up to 24 NVMe), on a 1 Gbps guaranteed, unmetered port. As of 5 November 2026 it costs €449 a month excluding VAT, with no setup fee. It is built to order, with the delivery estimate shown at checkout, and it can be ordered in 11 countries across Europe and the US.

The EPYC 9254 is a Genoa part built around Zen 4: 24 cores, 48 threads, 128 MB of L3, a 2.9 GHz base that boosts to 4.15 GHz, and — the specification that actually distinguishes it — a 12-channel DDR5 memory platform on a single socket, where each Xeon E5 socket in our range has four DDR4 channels.
The platform also brings 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0, so NVMe drives get direct high-bandwidth paths instead of sharing a storage controller. Two 1 TB NVMe drives are included, and a 24-drive NVMe array is an option at checkout. For anything I/O-bound, that difference dominates.
Being single-socket matters too: there is no NUMA boundary to reason about, no cross-socket latency penalty, and no need to pin processes to keep memory access local. For databases and latency-sensitive services, a single fast socket is usually easier to get right than two slower ones.
What this configuration is good at
Where the Single EPYC 9254 earns its price against the rest of the range.
Production databases
DDR5 memory, 128 MB of L3 and NVMe storage target every bottleneck a Postgres or MySQL primary actually hits. No NUMA to tune around.
Low-latency services
A 2.9 GHz base with a 4.15 GHz boost means single-threaded paths stay fast — trading strategies, matchmaking, real-time APIs.
AI inference
Zen 4 supports AVX-512, so CPU inference on quantised models is viable. 128 GB of fast memory holds a sizeable model resident.
High-IOPS storage
NVMe storage, expandable at checkout to a 24-drive array, suits object stores, seedboxes and write-heavy log pipelines.
When to pick something else
If you simply need the largest number of threads for the least money, the Dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 gives 88 threads at €299 against 48 threads here at €449. This configuration is about per-core speed, memory bandwidth and storage throughput — not thread count.
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.

Single EPYC 9254 — common questions
Why choose EPYC 9254 over a cheaper dual Xeon?
Three things the Xeon platform cannot match: DDR5 on a 12-channel memory platform instead of DDR4 on four channels per socket, NVMe instead of standard SSDs, and a 2.9 GHz base instead of 2.2–2.6 GHz. If your workload is bound by memory or storage rather than thread count, this is a different class of machine.
Is this single-socket or dual-socket?
Single socket. That removes the NUMA boundary entirely, which usually makes performance easier to predict for databases and latency-sensitive services. The Dual EPYC 9254 doubles the cores if you need them.
Does it support AVX-512?
Yes. Zen 4 implements AVX-512, which meaningfully accelerates vectorised numerical work and quantised model inference compared with AVX2-only parts.
What NVMe capacities can I have?
Two 1 TB NVMe drives are included. At checkout you can move to 24 NVMe drives of 1 TB or about 2 TB each, for an extra monthly fee. Tell us whether you want software RAID or plain devices for a distributed filesystem.
Can I upgrade the memory later?
Ask before ordering. Memory upgrades depend on the modules already installed and on the hardware available at the location you choose, so memory changes are quoted per server.
How long does delivery take?
EPYC configurations are built to order, so delivery takes longer than on the Xeon range. The estimate is shown at checkout before you pay.
